'Australia' Premiere

nobody@vox.com(Procrastinator) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 13:00:19 +0100

Friggin George Street was blocked and packed today due to the premiere of 'Australia'.

Road closures, nosy people standing in the middle of the footpath to have a glimpse.

Celebrities in expensive cars causing traffic to stop for them.

Chaos!!!

The street was shut down just for them!!

I think the previous week we had the stars from High School musical come to the red carpet event, but nothing as big as this! I mean, they barricaded the streets and had police working to control traffic as well as two (or three?) large screens set up too! Massive massive event!

And I didn't take any photos. Damn me for being short and lost through the crowds!!

Tight security surrounded the event, including bomb squad dogs and a large contingent of bodyguards.

I heard that the stars of the movie had waited until tonight to see the finished film.

*sigh*

Well, let's just hope that chaos doesn't repeat itself tomorrow because I don't want to be trampled on tomorrow!! hehehe

For those living in a cave:

Australia follows the story of Lady Sarah Ashley, played by Nicole Kidman, who inherits a remote cattle station called Faraway Downs in the mid-1930s, before World War II.

When cattle barons plot to take her land, she reluctantly joins forces with a rough-hewn drover, played by Jackman, to drive thousands of cattle across the country, only to face the bombing of Darwin by Japanese forces.

Fashion professionals’ group on Vox

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 12:27:58 +0100

While I love the fashion groups here on Vox, I thought it might be useful if fashion professionals—designers, interns, pattern-makers, photographers, stylists, make-up artists, publicists, journalists, and others—had a group where they could network and share their experiences. As of today, there is a fashion professionals’ group on Vox for the industry and anyone who is thinking of entering the fashion professions. I’ve stuck a few things on there to kick it off, and welcome others. (I hope the respective group owners will permit me mentioning this on their groups.)

Charlize Theron, UN Messenger of Peace

nobody@vox.com(Jack Yan) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 10:26:24 +0100

[Cross-posted from Lucire] In the main part of our site today, photographs of and quotations from Charlize Theron as she is inducted by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon as a Messenger of Peace, focusing on violence against women. As we reveal, this matter is very near and dear to Theron’s heart, and she has spent a great deal of effort working for women’s rights over the years—not to mention her roles in ﬁlms like Monster. Lucire says, ‘Welcome,’ to Charlize in ofﬁcially promoting UN initiatives, as we have been doing.

Anti-terror laws campaign

nobody@vox.com(petermcc) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 06:23:52 +0100

With the collapse of Howard's fear campaign, and with the classic example of the Dr Haneef fiasco, The GetUp team are running a campaign for a more reasonably, and dare I say, effective anti terror approach. The days of mindlessly following America's dumbest are at an end and a more intelligent approach can be devised. One that actually works.

It's a darn good idea. Better to have a fair dinkum system than a system that has to be propped up with a spin campaign. Feel free to read their text and follow the link to add your name to the petition.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear friend,

Finally the moment we've been waiting for has come.

Yesterday Barack Obama vowed one of his first acts will be closing Guantanamo Bay. This week our Government will receive a report into the bungled Dr Haneef fiasco and the Opposition have joined with the Greens to call for an independent watchdog - this is our chance to demand a new era of national security that protects both Australia and the rights of all Australians.

It's time we make sure no Australian can be detained without charge, without legal representation and without access to the evidence against them. Without clear statements from the community, politicians will again err on the side of appearing tough at the expense of just and effective laws.

Click below to sign our petition for an independent review of our anti-terrorism laws and a watchdog to monitor their use and necessity:

Sensible terror laws

The Dog Whisper'er

nobody@vox.com(PASS8LUVR) — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 03:37:24 +0100

Ok! I have been on a "puppy hunt" lately and have been to several of the shelter and "no kill" centers here in Dallas. None of them have the kind of dog that I want and I have given this about a 6 month turn around. I want a little dog as the place is not huge, but it would be big enough for "little man" or "little woman" and there is no one here but me,I'm single, studies show a pet helps you live longer, not many come to visit so I would not be worried there, but I want a breed that is small and trainable because if I come in and the house is torn down! it want be happy place, and I don't do doggy odor! and really don't want to kennel them when I'm away, but certainly I would have a huge kennel, and the other thing is that I might have to move if the place want allow it. Oh and who can forget sinus and allergies. With that said. I have narrowed my choice to the 4 below. Mr President-elect your not the only one on a pet search ;) Be great to hear opinions. Oh the "cast" in order of appearance (1) Maltese (2) Toy Poodle (3) Bishon Frise (4) Jack Russell Terrier.
