Mira Mira on the wall: at this studio, you’re the fairest of them all

Mira Mira on the wall: at this studio, you’re the fairest of them all

Let’s be honest. Selfies are an art form, and like any art, they take practice, some ballsiness and a big dash of pizzaz. Enter Mira Mira’s self-portrait studio in Alexandria (across from The Grounds), which flips the script on the traditional photo shoot. There’s no photographer breathing down your neck, no awkward directions to “smoulder” when...

The BEST MAC keyboard I’ve ever used… like, ever.

Let’s talk keyboards. Specifically, let’s talk about the Logitech Mac Wave Keyboard in white. Now, I know what you’re thinking: “How thrilling, another keyboard.” But slow your eye-rolls because this is not your average, mundane, run-of-the-mill typing device.

The number one restaurant* in Surry Hills right now: Shaffa Middle Eastern

“It’s meant to be in some kind of alley?” I say. I’ve seen the photos online, and they make the venue look more spacious than alley dining usually affords, but what do I know? The street is dark and moody; it’s quieter here than in the more pedestrian-ed part of Surry Hills, and we like...

Sexy nights out at Barangaroo’s Cardea

Sexy nights out at Barangaroo’s Cardea

Inside Barangaroo’s newest and sexiest social spot, it seems that everyone just looks ….hotter. Maybe it’s the lighting, I don’t know – but there’s a lack of stress; languid lounging is more the vibe. There’s laughter and the tinkling of glasses. Sophisticated cocktails are held by well-manicured hands, and the ‘bar menu‘ includes wagyu and...
