Aktifmag is closer to home than a MySpace stalker. Dissecting Australian culture with meat cleaver, one thing is for sure – no one is safe. Ask Minister For The Arts, Grant Smilie or the Bang Gang, who have allegedly been promoting un-protected gay sex to school kids.
There is also fun for the whole family with an ‘Are You An Aussie Celebrity?’ test, letters to Kinder Surprise and much more! This online magazine is free, although the lawsuits that it’s likely to incur will be expensive. So if you like to hate, laugh, or just look a bit closer at the things we sometimes take so seriously, then Aktifmag is on point. Hopefully it won’t be long before ThreeThousand and many others come under the knife, so if you want to be offended, stay tuned. |

For all the flawless glamour that appears on a Paris catwalk, there’s a world of sharpened nails, frizzy hair and, of course, model rivalry behind it. In March 2005, Photographer Immo Klink (former assistant and studio manager to Wolfgang Tillmans) was given the heady task of capturing this parallel world at Paris Fashion Week. Commissioned by French newspaper Libération, over 10 days Klink recorded the technology, touch-ups and the sometimes-disturbing “beauties” that make up each 10-15 minute fashion show.
With a glare stronger than a pair of Versace nylons, Pret-a-Porter – Infrastructure Spectaculaire shows the instant coffee, cable-wired world behind the catwalk, contrasting the often dirty and rotting backstage spaces with the airbrushed beauty of the runway.

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.
Advertising Partnerships:
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
Editorial Submissions:
The editorial team at ThreeThousand may know a lot - but they don't know everything. Feel free to send information on events, venues or anything else to chris@threethousand.com.au
Feedback:
Heap praise, sling abuse, ramble inanely – if you have anything to say to us please send it directly to talk@threethousand.com.au
