Review: Wake Less

Binge Cul­ture Col­lect­ive were “attempt­ing to cre­ate an envir­on­ment that’s as flu­id and respons­ive as a dream is.” They want to “push the bound­ar­ies of per­form­ance and explore the things that can’t be done onscreen or online.” I think they have suc­cess­fully achieved these two aims. Wheth­er the per­form­ance says any­thing more than ‘exper­i­ment­ing with […]

KK’s A‑OK

Over the past couple of months I have been review­ing Malay­si­an res­taur­ants all around Wel­ling­ton for Malay­sia Kit­chen (full dis­clos­ure – I got refun­ded some of the costs).

Review: Drowning in Veronica Lake

Veron­ica Lake was a film star in the 1940s. She was a tiny, sexy blonde. Her hair was styled to fall art­fully over her face con­ceal­ing one eye. She lived her life in a sim­il­ar man­ner – chan­ging her story to suit the mood she was in at the time. Drown­ing in Veron­ica Lake is […]
