Flashback to March - an incredible night celebrating music and artistry and Serge Thomann’s birthday 🎶

Honouring Mick Harvey, awarded the Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres for his outstanding contribution to music and for bringing Serge Gainsbourg’s work to a wider audience.

A well-deserved recognition, celebrated right here in Melbourne, St Kilda 🇦🇺 🇫🇷✨

Amazing who you bump into around St Kilda Town Hall 😄

Met this little legend in training—a future border patrol dog! 🐾 Such a good reminder of the incredible work these dogs go on to do.

Had a lovely moment meeting Christina Canters at the Business of Comedy conference—such a warm and genuine presence.

We had a short chat and it was just one of those easy, uplifting conversations that stays with you. Always nice connecting with people doing meaningful work in their space ✨

Spent Easter Sunday wandering the St Kilda esplanade markets 🌸
Highly recommend checking it out — even better with your pup 🐶

Went to the Business of Comedy conference last week—such a good mix of people talking about the idea of a dedicated comedy hub 🎭

There were politicians, architects, comedians, producers, podcasters, academics, artists and ticketing folks all in the room, looking at how the industry works from every angle—economically, creatively, and socially.

What really stuck with me was the focus on mental health. Laughter does more than entertain—it helps people cope, connect, and get through tough moments. There’s something pretty special about that ✨

Made it to the NGV just in time to experience the *Westwood | Kawakubo* exhibition—where two revolutionary designers, Vivienne Westwood and Rei Kawakubo, challenge everything we think we know about fashion.

Bold, rebellious, and unapologetically original, their work goes far beyond clothing—it's art, activism, and a reimagining of identity and form. Walking through the exhibition felt like stepping into a world where rules don’t apply, and creativity leads the way.

So inspired by the power of self-expression and the courage to be different ✨

Filled my Sunday with love, purpose, and community—cooking a shared lunch with the most beautiful souls for the Father Bob Foundation. On the anniversary of his passing, we came together not just to remember, but to carry forward his kindness, generosity, and spirit. A small act, but a powerful reminder that love lives on through what we give 🤍✨

Proud moment for our community! 🌟
