Oscar Winner Diablo Cody



Latest Hollywood “it” girl Diablo Cody took home the Best Original Screenplay for Juno at the 80th Academy Awards on the weekend. Formerly an up close and personal stripper/blogger Cody has broken through the invisible barriers of the entertainment world to emerge as a respected word smith.

Making fashion headlines last week when news came that she would be attending the Oscars ceremony wearing million dollar diamond-encrusted Stuart Weitzman heels. Shame then that no one had told the strong willed artist about it.

Refusing the show pony route Diablo flat out refused to become Cinderella for a night. Over on her myspace page she wrote "They're using me to publicize their stupid shoes and NOBODY ASKED ME…I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide."

Embracing her creative independence it is not surprising that she refuses to whore herself and become another cog in the system. Obviously privacy is a priority now that she has control over her own destiny.

Born Brook Busey-Hunt in 1978, she broke into writing with her tell all online diary of the adult entertainment world Pussy Ranch which inspired her best selling memoirs titled Candy Girl: A Year In The life of an unlikely Stripper.

Three Degrees of Diablo fashion


Following the success of Candy Girl Diablo was encouraged to write a screenplay and the result was Juno. Thanks to the windfall of her debut effort she now has several projects fast tracked including a TV series starring Toni Collette and based on a Steven Spielberg concept titled “The United States of Tara”. Also on the horizon is a Horror/comedy Jennifer’s Body which will star Megan Fox and is described as a “Heathers” type laugh.

On the Circuit


Giving all us struggling writers hope that our pasts will not dictate our future prospects. Hopefully not becoming tainted by the lure of wealth it’s reassuring to see someone with there own individual sense of style in wardrobe and life philosophy not pander to the glamour industry.

Here is an interview with Diablo Cody on the Oscar's Red carpet

Ode to an Italian Dress

October 1st 2007 01:52
DOlce and Gabbana Summer 08 PAINTED BLACK DRESS
All images from http://eng.dolcegabbana.it


Flamboyant and theatrical, Dolce and Gabbana’s Summer 2008 collection is indeed replete with works of art. From the hand-painted fabrics, the obsession with intricate embellishments and details to the matte velvet lips, D & G invoke a Keats-ian realm - instead of a Grecian urn, this is my ode to an Italian dress

Tristan Blair - What Else! (LINK)

September 11th 2007 17:56
It's fair to say after trawling boutique after fabulous boutique in this beautiful city, there is noone aside from Massarro of course, who quite puts the same shine on a pair of shoes than Australian Designer Tristan Blair.

He is elusive, demure and completely humble about his creativity. I once attempted to help him source a shoe manufacturer in Brazil. He had become great friends with a man and his chicken in Bali and was loathe to change. Given my experiences in working with Brazilian timeframes I can understand why. Nothing quite happens fast enough in that country. Needless to say in a Summer that sports cotton candy and casual style you cant go past his new collection "Wonderful Armour

Junya Watanabe or College Days Revisited

June 26th 2007 00:01
In this rainy wintry weather looking at Junya Watanabe’s men’s collection in Milan I was reminiscing about college. For those of you unfamiliar with the Canberra education system, years 11 and 12 at public schools are called colleges, are located on their own grounds, have no uniforms and the teachers are called by their first names. There’s no HSC, assessment is close to the university system and generally they’re far nicer places to be. Anyway when I was at college the boys used to dress like this, themselves nostalgic for some sort of 80s punky/motorcycle rider style.

Gucci sucks

June 13th 2007 00:43
Just about anyone with any style steers clear of Gucci on the whole and their Autumn/Winter 07 collection only affirms that general principle. Let’s take a look at some examples.

Sex and Zeitgeists - The life and times of Vivienne Westwood

June 8th 2007 00:07

From Viviennewestwood.com


After visiting the Victoria and Albert exhibition which travelled to the National Gallery in Canberra a few years ago, I’ve been obsessed with Vivienne Westwood. It’s not just that she’s sixty and has a beautiful thirty-year-old Italian lover, although that does impress me, and it’s not just that she’s been an inspiration for generations of fashionistas, mostly it’s because for Westwood, fashion is thought

Balenciaga, Vernacular Fashion

After using Balenciaga as an example in my white shirt post I remembered what a stand-out collection Nicolas Ghesquière produced for Fall 2007 collection and I was reminded by our very own (why are we so patriotic when it comes to beautiful people) Gemma Ward wearing Balenciaga at Cannes.

I love Marc Jacobs

May 21st 2007 00:22
What I really wish I had right now is the entire Marc Jacobs Fall 2007 Ready to Wear Collection. So rarely do I view a collection and consider that not only would I wear just about every piece therein but would look exquisite, savvy and elegant in the process. This collection is a sort of blend of Gatsby-esque 20s chic and slender 70s day-wear. Jacobs manages to create a collection so rich in detail and pleasurable in palate that I just want to eat it all up.
