5 minutes with…Ragdoll Photography

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

This morning I thought we’d take 5 with the lovely lass Shirin from Ragdoll Photography. Shirin has been behind the lense for our latest photoshoot!

What inspires you to get out of bed in the mornings?

Most mornings, its my two noisy kids but some days, it is the possibility that this little head of mind would conjure up a superb idea for a photoshoot.

What was the last photo you took?

Its the photo of Lakita, a dancer with dreadlocks and a beautiful soul.

What is your favourite photo?

Its a photo I took of my best friend, Mardy at an abandon train tracks in Singapore in 2005. We scouted around for these traintracks and it was one of the most fun times we ever had.
I had just gotten my first proper DSLR and it was pouring but that didn’t stop us from getting some great shots and most importantly, we had the best time.

Ragdoll Photography. How/why’d you start it?

I’ve always had this fascination for ragdolls and my past has somewhat  made me feel like a ragdoll. Being in the media industry made me realise that photography is what I wanted to do and thus, Radgoll Photography came about.

Five words to describe yourself.

Quirky, Muse Freak, Shy, Warm and Underrated!!

You can check out more of Shirin’s work on her Facebook page!

5 minutes with…Deb from Bluebird Vintage

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010
This week we’re taking 5 with Deb from Bluebird Vintage. You can find Bluebird Vintage at 288 Cambridge St in Wembley. (08) 9287 2768.

What inspires you to get out of bed in the mornings/afternoons?
I should say hitting those early morning markets and garage sales, but nothing motivates more than a bad breakfast of red velvet cake or yum cha. When you’re up early 6 days a week, you kinda wana lie around all day when you can, but usually I’m woken by the shrill creams of Euro-horror or Pakistani vampire movies thats my housemate starts watching at 7am anyway. I know there’s a deeper connotation to this question, like what floats my boat, and at the moment its the 3 F’s: Food, Friends and Football (Come on Dockers!) Probably chuck Fossicking and Foto’s too.

What was the last vintage item you bought?
This amazing pair of 1960s red snakeskin shoes, in great condition, fit like a dream and comfier than a snuggie! Love the cute white piping and big bow, and for $10 at a Garry (garage sale) it just made my weekend! Also I got a whole bunch of herbs, 8 tubes of unopened folk art paint and a Cheap Trick LP from the same place. Mount Hawthorn I love you!



What is your favourite vintage piece ?
There are so many dresses…but my absolute faves would be the jewelery that my man Steven got for my last two birthdays. One is a silver enamel bluebird necklace holding an “I love you” locket and the other a Victorian sterling silver “Stamps” holder. Really intricate and romantic and my outright faves hands down!


Bluebird Vintage. Why and how did you start it?
Steven and I have been collecting for years and we always knew we would have a shop. When Dr Rusells closed in January, a little shop next to Russels (the other Russell!) became available and it all fell into place. I’ve always loved dressing my friends up and debumking fashion myths like “blue and green should never be seen”, or “No stripes on fatties”, so I get to do that all day now! We don’t have a huge amount of clothing but I think it’s just right, mixed in with collectables, curios, retro homewares and pop culture kitsch, It’s a bit like our home, but you can buy little bits from it. Except for the taxidermy, hands off!




Five words to describe yourself.
Uptight. Old-skool. Romantic. Weird. Fun.
