the Carrington Hotel
established 1882

an old derelict college

the Paragon cafe, restaurant & choclatierie is
a fine example of heritage art-deco decor.
it is still running with all the flapper trappings
of the early 1900's. it's Katoomba's original milk bar.
my sister and i visited this place over 20 years ago
with our parents... and the memory of waffles is strong;
or maybe our memories are better attributed to the maple
syrup, which, due to a momentary laps of parental
inforcement of manners "fit to dine with the queen"
we were allowed to drink the sweet syrup (with a straw).

instead of photographing the waffles i just had to order
in honour of a memory (no syrup drinking this time)i went
out the back of the cafe to capture the old bathrooms
and high tea rooms...

the white kkk hats stood out in the bright winter sun,
especially next to the white obelisk....a bizarre sight

'pasha bulker' wrecked on nobbys beach friday

high tea with mrs woo showed their latest
collection for summer 2007/08 at sydney's
fashion week late last month...this beautiful
new collection is called 'Hidden'

"Inspired by the shadowy darkness and seduction
of film noir, HIDDEN is a study of garments as
a second skin that reveal and conceal the body
and her erogenous zones."

subway love... this is one of the images that
felicity and sam took while visiting New York
last year. the full collection of images are
gorgeous, funny and can be seen all together
at the what lies ahead link on this site...enjoy
