Friday LMFAO

2011-09-30T09:54:00.000+10:00

I have secretly loved this song ever since it came out. Last night I was told that it was socially acceptable (maybe even cool) to like LMFAO and after seeing this clip I think these guys are legendary. Total pisser! Embrace the pop. Everyday I'm shuff-l-ing.

Citizen Shane

2011-09-30T00:01:00.000+10:00

Introducing Hunting for George's newest label, Citizen Shane. From Melbourne based designer Melanie Northover. We love that these basic everyday pieces are super sexy cos that means that we can be super sexy every day. Boom! Take a closer look at these more pieces here.

Schade Summer

2011-09-26T18:46:00.001+10:00

I know a pirate. He started Schade. One day the pirate smiled at me and asked if I would design a radical look book for him. I said 'that sounds like fun'. Enter Schade Summer 11/12: Part One... a world where nothing is illegal and everyone is super cool. These are just some of my favourite spreads, if you want to see more then click here.

We've come a long way baby

2011-09-20T15:34:00.000+10:00

Hunting for George turns one tomorrow. So I thought I'd take a look to see what we were up to when we were zero. Turns out we were drinking beer and cruising the streets of Windsor... Not much has changed. Thanks to our photographer Clare Plueckhahn and all of our gorgeous models for being attractive drinking buddies. Bottoms up!

Spotted: Gold Coast Bulletin

Perfect Strangers

2011-09-13T09:59:00.001+10:00

Correct me if I'm wrong but I swear Mark Linn-Baker looks like Shia LaBeouf's slightly older, slightly less attractive cousin.

Awesome People Hanging Out Together

2011-08-02T10:53:00.001+10:00

I've been loving this blog for a while. These are just some of my favourites... http://awesomepeoplehangingouttogether.tumblr.com/

Dana and Olivia

2011-07-29T14:02:00.000+10:00

Smoking's bad for you. But it's hard to find a photo of Olivia without one. I'm happy these two are still kicking along together in a footloose fury of photos and smoke. http://danalaurengoldstein.tumblr.com/

GC love

2011-07-26T18:43:00.000+10:00

Whilst things seemed to have taken a turn for the worse in the late 80s, I just love these images of the old school Meter Maids. Plus I love that mullet boy above is rocking a Ken Done tee and a primary coloured bum bag, which I too shared his enthusiasm for back in the day.

Friday Soul

2011-07-22T14:07:00.000+10:00

It's Friday. No excuses. Crank it.

A tv spot from Clemenger's new campaign for the Melbourne International Film Festival, aiming to quash the rumour that International films are a little bit hit and miss. Shot in Avalon with Aussie actors and directed by Steve Ayson. Tick.

Winter Sale at Hunting for George

2011-07-18T20:01:00.000+10:00

Yes we do. Check out our sale items here. You know it's the right thing to do...

Friday Bowie

2011-07-15T10:41:00.001+10:00

Considering I donned a red mullet complete with Aladdin Sane lightning bolt at my local pub last night, it seems only fitting to celebrate this Friday with a little bit of Bowie...

2011-07-01T09:22:00.000+10:00

I just ordered the new Kitty, Daisy and Lewis album on vinyl and I'm pumped. This is the new single from the rockabilly sibling trio. TURN IT UP!

The 'DJ, Heidi and Pinotta' tale

2011-06-29T13:24:00.002+10:00

So I have this friend DJ who has this friend Heidi. DJ introduced me to Heidi and now we're friends too. DJ is an illustrator and Heidi is a foodie. Heidi decided to open a restaurant and asked DJ to draw some pretty pictures. The illustrations are amazing and so is the restaurant, which by the way is called Pinotta (website coming soon) and opens this weekend (St Georges Road, Fitzroy North). I guess the moral of the story is that whilst I've done nothing to contribute to this creative fusion of art and food, I plan to help contribute to the creative fusion between food and my belly. I love my talented friends. The end.

Amitiwi

2011-06-23T09:49:00.000+10:00

Ok ok I know it's freaking freezing outside but if you needed some inspiration to get in shape for summer then this beautiful range from Amitiwi will do the trick. Amitiwi is all Australian, from design to print to construction. For this range, designer Amity Jarvis has collaborated with textile artists of the Tiwi Islands in the Northern Territory to combine contemporary design with traditional Indigenous art. Love.

Jean-Francois Jonvelle

2011-06-05T23:48:00.001+10:00

Photos from late French erotic photographer Jean-Francois Jonvelle. This selection of images is slightly less graphic than some of his others but I find these particular photos a lot more suggestive. I think there's more personality and I love his voyeuristic, slightly pervy peek into women's lives. And all of a sudden I feel like milk.

The Growlers

2011-05-30T17:04:00.000+10:00

My new favourite music/art/clothing crush all rolled into one. I love the artwork that backs up this phenomenal band out of California. You can buy The Growlers vinyl and tees here.

Gary Parker

2011-05-23T18:28:00.000+10:00

George Hearts Dudes

2011-05-16T17:53:00.001+10:00

For those of you that didn't already know... at HFG we have a DUDES page which is designed to help guys buy the right present for their significant female other... with cues such as: "I've only got 20 bucks to spend, help a brother out" and "she's a good friend but I DO want to kiss her" we aim to point dudes in the right direction or at least give them a few ideas. So if you've ever received a bad present from your man then go forth and spread the word!

I feel in love with this collage instantly. An easter project from 1st year Illustration Student Lauren Doughty who had to create something related to St. Catherine of Alexandria. "Catherinettes was a traditional French label for girls of 25 years old who were still unmarried by the feast of St Catherine on the 25th November. A special celebration was offered to them on this day, while everyone wished them a fast end to their singlehood."
