I'm almost thankful it's over, I'm absolutely wrecked, so I'm off to Samoa Fashion Week's completed. After being at it, and on it, every day I'm severely beached. So to clear my head, and re-evaluate things, I'm going to an island off the coast of Samoa for the next week or so. 5 things that stood out for me this week were; the palava and protocol that comes with the fashion industry, a lengthy fireside chat with our next PM, my packed party at Pony, interviewing the super human DJ Carl Cox, and meeting a bionicly beautiful Brazilian model. For an expanded read/look at my past weeks activities CLICK HERE!     Issue #117 lucky devils are: Abby Sisam and Andrea Bates won NZ Breakers double tickets. Zandi Pooley got this weeks Mr Vintage t’shirt. Charles de Jager picked up the Godskitchen tickets. Michael Colville has his Friday drinks covered with a $50 tab at Traffic Bar & Kitchen.

This is a new monthly prize with a catch; I drink with you, then we can all party on elsewhere, or you do your own thing. Easy Tiger is very funky bar that’s hard to find first off, down a wee alleyway (Dockside Lane) just off Mahuhu Cres. Write “Easy Tiger” as the heading for an email and send it to me if you’d like to prowl along. This prize will run until the week before the last Friday of each month.     Wednesday September 24th Peaches with Bionic Pixie The Powerstation, 33 Mt Eden Rd, Eden Tce Tickets $57 from Real Groovy. 8pm - 12am A unique musical combination/surprise. Peaches is an electronica American musician whose songs are concerned mainly with s*x. NZer Bionic Pixie's sound consists of bass drums, frenetic arrangements and computer generated echo-ey bleeps, as a backdrop for a curiously alien-like vocal style.     Thursday September 25th Shaving Heads For Charity Westfield Shopping Centre, Manukau City No Charge. 4 – 6pm A friend of mine’s raising $ to enter in the $10 Queenstown Challenge. She’s shaving of her blonde locks as a fund raiser, so are some celebs. Cruise along and show your support, or check out www.fundraiseonline.co.nz/rebeccadearing for further info.

A comedy about bringing up baby, from the guy’s point of view. Bruce finds out it’s different for guys when he stays home to look after baby. He is thrown in to the alien world of coffee groups and supermum’s, and meets Roger, who is going to show him how a real man does it. And/Or Club Couture: 7 Sins Flight Lounge, 1 Fort Lane, Auckland Central $10 on the door. 10pm – 6am These guys focus on good friends, extensive fantasy theming, varied yet stonking house and an electric vibe. This should be enough for you to attend. I highly recommend this night.     Saturday September 27th Mischief Dance Party Toto Restaurant, 53 Nelson St, Auckland Central Tickets $21 (more on the door) from www.iticket.co.nz. 9pm – 7am 10 of the biggest DJ names on the NZ techno circuit perform for your aural pleasure. But the main act Mic Newman is really why I’d go. He’s the hottest tech-house act in OZ right now. The night will be filled with fun with magicians and mascots roaming, and a mini gambling den operating. And/Or Sample Gee ONLY Seba, 63 Fort St, Auckland Central Tickets $20 from Real Groovy (don’t rely on door sales). 11 – 6am The DJ who started it all in the NZ trance scene performs a special 7 hour journey set of uplifting electronica. And/Or Chemistry Dance Party Auckland Town Hall, Queen St, Auckland Central Tickets $29 - $100 from www.the-edge.co.nz. 10pm – 6am The glitz and glamour of Chemistry packs in one of my favourite NZ party venues. All techno bases will be covered due to the 5 zones, but the thing that I enjoy the most about the parties that these guys throw is the lighting. Just wait till you see the dual-head, full colour Septor lasers in action.     Sunday September 28th (Daylight Savings begins) Lazy Edinburgh Castle, Cnr Symonds & Newton Sts, Newton No Charge. 12 – 8pm As the days heat up there’s nothing better than dancing outside with a beverage in your hand.

Derby Madness Whammy Bar (formerly Calibre), St Kevin’s Arcade, K’Rd, Auckland Central Entry $10. 6.30 – 9.30pm Something slightly odd, yet fun.
