Going To The Opening Of An Envelope

Back in the the very early days of Glam Adelaide, I would go to the opening of an envelope. There. I've said it. I was broke (all my cash was tied up in property which left me with no disposable income) so going to a snazzy event with free bubbles seemed like a great way to supplement my social life. I was working, don't get me wrong, but I definitely managed to kill two birds with one stone there.

Now, several years later, I'm a little more picky about which events to attend. With a small baby and a lovely home which I enjoy spending time at, going out all the time isn't quite as appealing as it once was.

Now I only go to the great events.

Which brings me to the point of today's blog. Invitations. I get a lot of them through work. And there are definitely ones which grab my attention and those which get forgotten about.

Today I received an invitation in the mail in a petrie dish. It's fantastic.


It's for the Bone Foundation, and it definitely got our attention. I'll be attending this event (which I probably wouldn't have if I just received a regular paper invite) so whoever organised this little novely should be congratulated. 

It got me thinking about other great invitations I've received in the past, so I pulled one out which I've been saving. Looked great but the info was confusing (it advertised the price of tickets, so I wasn't sure if it was an ad for the event or an invitation) so I didn't go to the event.


On a final note, I also received an invitation today for an arts event, which didn't have the date of the event on it, just the RSVP date. You'd be surprised how often this happens. Looks like I won't be going to that one either. There is just too much going on to be following up events (which aren't personally connected to me) for more info. I'm sure someone else will enjoy going though and it just means more family time for me!

5AA Hour with Sean Perry, May 24th

This week I had my first big stint on the radio. It was incredibly daunting as I had no idea what to expect, but after a trial by fire, I think I'll be more prepared for the next show I do. I was on 5AA with Sean Perry for an hour on Sunday from 6:30pm (right at the start of his show) and discussed GLAM Adelaide, the GLAMzine and all sorts of events that are happening around Adelaide. I've broken it down into segments so that people can find the bits that may interest them. Segment one discussed GLAM Adelaide, the GLAMzine, The Clothing Exchange, the Pink concerts, the Lady Daly Hotel, Radelaide and Heaps Good.
