Wednesday 12th – 19th July
You know you are living in a lucky country when the nations most shocking news for the week is a turkey slap in the Big Brother household. No terrorism, no earthquakes, no massive floods, no guerrilla warfare, just a dumb prank on a reality TV show.
Without the worry of getting caught in a cross-fire, swept away or blown up Issue 063 features positive things such as This Charming Man jewellery, online shop DavidmetNicole and some high fashion crime scenes. We feature TV On The Radio’s Return to Cookie Mountain, the Chuan Day Spa for a bit of relaxation and Hard Candy, the movie, not the nightclub.
|
|
So although Melbourne is not the ‘world’s most liveable city’ anymore, there is still very little chance of dying, and that is a fact worth celebrating.
ThreeThousand Issue 063 – as luck would have it

What follows is something of a fable from design lore. In late 2005, 30 photographers, illustrators and designers from several different countries got together and each created an artwork as a gift to each other. This same artwork was then compiled into a publication called The Guild, of which only 40 copies were ever printed, and only 10 ever sold to the public.
Like all things rare, the original issue became so coveted by the design fiends that a second edition with a much larger print run has finally been created. The Guild: Second Edition ‘Outside Over Here’ is a larger extension of the first publication, including works from many of the original designers like Lee Misenheimer and Jon Burgerman, plus new recruits.
But if, like us, you’re still fascinated by the first, from this Friday you can view original works by contributors from both editions, as well as browse the new publication fresh off the press. |

Created by Melbourne and NYC based jeweller Edward Janssen, This Charming Man lets you wear your food without ridicule. From whole sandwiches and bagels to single slices of cheese, you can create your own gourmet bling in both sterling silver and 9ct gold.
With seven years experience in both jewellery-design and instruction, each piece is hand-made and hand-finished with love by Ed and encourages a DIY attitude that tastes so much better than the Subway-type homogenisation of some other jewellers.
So if you are hungry for a point of difference with your fashion decadence, then This Charming Man will satisfy your appetite. |

When David met Nicole the whole world turned upside down, quite literally. From old London town to Sydney city, DavidmetNicole is a sea-change for British style: essentially a blend of pieces from different cultures and time periods.
The boutique duo both source and buy new and vintage pieces that range from furniture, clothing and lighting to bits and bobs for the home. They also offer one-off, pre-ordered, designer pieces like lighting installations and furniture design, with each creation seen through from original conception, to the finished product.
Combining the powers of product design, vintage and collectable sales, styling and retail, the store stocks all things unusual and stylish from the mother of the Commonwealth. Although it’s currently stuck up Sydney way, you can browse the one-off knick-knacks online, then call-up to order express. Hey, it’s closer than London. |

Nazis? Terrorists? One cultural bogeyman stands above the rest: Paedophiles. They deserve everything that’s coming to them, right? Hard Candy begins with a cringe-inducing bout of sexual cyber-chat as a 32-year-old man picks up a 14-year-old girl.
Horror’s not known for subtlety – which is often part of its charm – but it hurts that the film regularly grinds to a halt courtesy of clunky speeches. Luckily Ellen Page makes up for it with a near-perfect performance as Hayley, methodically taking apart the life of her would-be predator.
Hard Candy works best when director David Slade keeps it to two people, a quiet room, and some well-placed surgical sound-effects; it fails when he falls back into fast-edited film-clip clichés. Compared to the squirm-factor of watching the ‘man and girl flirt’ in the fantastic first 15 minutes, regular horror seems almost comforting. |

ThreeThousand is a weekly snapshot of Melbourne's subculture, fired by email into the loving arms of people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of writers, stylists, designers, photographers, sub-cultural attaches and a large troupe of monkeys who enjoy working for peanuts.
Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it – not because it's paid for.

ThreeThousand is funded in full by one advertising partner per issue. We warmly invite advertisers who see the benefit in speaking to Melbourne through a trusted and targeted medium to contact Francesco at frunch@rightanglepublishing.com
