The glamA continues…
I have finally managed to find me some pictures of this years Spring Carnival fancy pants marquees.
(Seems all it took was to look in the newspaper! whatta know!)
So this will give you an idea of the scale of these um, tents!
You thought it was a bit small didnt you! No, it fits a few!
This colour scheme and sofa push my ‘special’ buttons. For real.
I would like a light fitting like this in my house please. Complete with weekly florist visits to ‘freshen’!
Oh. I hope this looks better in person. I hate those chairs. They speak Nana’s nursing home to me!
Doesn’t have the same overall awesomeness feel as last years displays-maybe its the photos? Maybe the budget got reined in? (yeah, pun intended!)
The race has just been run and the winner is ‘Viewed’ by seriously a slither of a horses whisker! it was quite exciting really!

So I’m STILL on the Spring carnival band wagon… turns out I may a little enthusiasm for it after all!
The big race is tomorrow, the one that its all about-’The Melbourne Cup’ – the race that stops a nation! -so they say! (Oh, did I mention Its even a public holiday!)
Of course its as much, well probably more so, about the ‘fillies’ in frocks than the ‘fillies’ on the field! But all I am interested in and scour the papers to see a glimpse of, are the corporate marquees. Big brand companies go ALL out in budget and fluff to create a super space of fabulousness!
Very often in the really fabulous marquees, the creative genius behind the design and implementation is clever lass Amanda Henderson, of Gloss Creative. She is a bit clever!
Check out a few pics from last years carnival -so you know what I am on about!:

Kinda heart breaking to think that these incredible spaces only exist for a few days…a bit sad really!
I was unable to find any images of this years fancey pants marquees, but I will keep you in the loop when I do!
So you have quite possibly seen all these pictures before -so apologies for hacking them out once again! But I would feel like a home town traitor if I didn’t spread the word!!
And so of course it has to be said, whilst we are here in lovely Melbourne town, where some horses are running around fast, A far more important race is nearing a close on the other side of the globe in the US.
So just a shout out to my blogger friends in the states: Please do me proud and vote right!
And by ‘right’ of course I mean left!!
