Polyester Loves: Summer Fashion.

Spring / Summer Fashion Shows have come and gone for another year. There have been plenty of great trends to hit the catwalk this season and Polyester are bringing you our favourite looks!
First up: Separates.

The Interview

In a society addicted to “reality TV”, Sam Atwell’s adaptation of theatre play, The Interview, will have you questioning truth and how celebrity is perceived.  The fast-paced drama, originally penned for theatre by Theo van Gogh and subsequently transformed into a film staring Steve Buscemi and Sienna Miller, follows B-list celebrity and tabloid regular, Katja (Alison McGirr, Home and Away), who yearns to be taken as a serious actress.

Chance Waters

Sydney hip-hop artist Chance Waters is set to make a decent stir in the Aussie hip-hop scene. After being crowned Triple J’s Unearthed Feature Artist under the alias Phatchance, he’s toured with local hip-hop royalty 360, Illy, Bliss N Eso, Drapht and Pez.

Now he’s ditched the name and getting ready to release new album, Infinity. You may already recognise first track, Maybe Tomorrow, which has been getting a significant amount of airplay over at Triple J.

Summer Days

Garnier Daily All-in-one BB Cream, Maybelline New York Shine Free Loose Powder, Dior Diorshow, KleanColor Golden Nugget Eye Pencil, Tree of Life Light Matte Bronzing Powder, Maybelline New York Beige Nude / Naked Beige Eyeshadow, Maybelline New York Coral Fever Lipstick, Laura Mercier Creme Eye Colour Brush, Tree of Life Bronzing Brush.

With the warmer months slowly creeping upon us, it’s a great time to be changing make-up to a more minimalistic look (not to be confused with natural looking). Spring/summer is definitely the season to be investing in a new BB cream. BB Cream is light, easy to wear, plus has that all-important SPF.

5 Reasons Why the Amish are Lovely

5 Reasons Why the Amish are Lovely

“You May think us Amish are strange folk with our buggies, beards and barnyards”

SBS’s new heart warming reality show ‘Living with the Amish,’ offers an insight into the notoriously secluded Amish society. The program is atypical of the Amish community and was created to elucidate the advantages of living a pure and simple life. In fact, the show reminded me of Paris Hiltons idiotic show, ‘The Simple Life.’ Fortunately, ‘Living with the Amish’ has less psychopathic rich losers and lovelier, down-to-earth Amish folk. Although Amish culture is very strict about most things, rules and regulations brings everybody together with a sense of community. Writing this blog made me feel like a ‘reserved hippy,’ but at the same time, it did make me stop and think about what life is all about and how a few rules can actually inspire people to become an individual without superficial things like clothes.

1.           Bowl cuts look good?

There is something about that bowl-cut, fresh from the field look the Amish men have perfected.

The Knowledge

High school teachers are people too. They swear, have sex, break rules. At least that’s what UK gent John Donnelly explores in his play “The Knowledge”.

 Written from experience, the dark comedy follows the life of high school teacher Zoe. Highlighting the repercussions that working in a shitty school is having on Zoe’s behaviour.

Doesn’t This Just Say “Hack The Fuck Into Me And Unlock My Doors”?

 I thought that doing some kind of geekish-tech blog would make me appear smarter and therefore increase street cred. However, amongst futuristic Wall-E inspired fat chairs, I came across the Lockitron. Apart from the badass name that makes me think of ‘Transformers,’ this device seems like the pocket sized god of convenience.

Melody's Echo Chamber

Paris based singer songwriter Melody Prochet may not be a name you know. But the gentlemen who produced her album definitely will be. Since bumping into Kevin Parker, the front man of Tame Impala, Melody has supported Tame Impala through Europe. Plus moved in with the Perth based boys for a couple of months to create her first album with new band, Melody’s Echo Chamber.

Tropfest 2013.

Do you aspire to make fucking awesome short films? Have you got a great idea that, say a heap of Australian film insiders would love? If your answer is yes, or you just love watching short films then you'll be glad to know that Tropfest 2013 is drawing closer.

Moonrise Kingdom.

You might have heard of Wes Anderson from films like Fantastic Mr. Fox and The Royal Tenenbaums. Like the rest of his films, Moonrise Kingdom is the tale of misfit characters attempting to find their place in the world and through this, an adventure is created.
