Jozef Imrich, name worthy of Kafka, has his finger on the pulse of any irony of interest and shares his findings to keep you in-the-know with the savviest trend setters and infomaniacs.

It’s the 1890s in the gold fields of Australia. J.G.
Milford has hopped off the train in Koolgalla to take on a job at the
local paper. She’s smart, she’s savvy, she’s incredibly qualified, but
nobody knew the J stood for Jenny!
"Hello!
I find it's always easier to start talking because there's no beep
sounds or anything when it transfers. I've often sat there in silence
for quite some time."
I'm on the phone to Celia Pacquola, and it's
hard to imagine the award-winning comedian and actor ever sitting in
silence for quite some time.
Celia Pacquola loved the idea of being able to give lost classic The Torrents "the audience it deserves”.
Over
the past 13 years or so, the 36-year-old has carved an enviable career
around a girl-next-door personality that can make it easy to overlook
the hard work that goes into a successful and sustainable career.
Today, however, she is in Melbourne, working from home in her ugg boots and downing cups of peppermint-and-ginger tea.
"It's all very exciting, very showbiz," she says.
Pacquola
has her best mate and writing partner Luke McGregor with her for
company, as they get a head start on writing season four of their ABC
show Rosehaven.
There is a small hiccup: it's yet to be
confirmed if the charming Tasmanian comedy has a fourth season, which
seems ridiculous given its popularity here and overseas, but the pair
are plotting away regardless.
On
the upside, the break does mean it's the first time in four years
Pacquola hasn't spent a winter in Tasmania, where they film around the
state's south in the Huon and Derwent valleys, clad in two layers of
thermals and a fine selection of the region's best second-hand knitwear....
In
1938 tattoos were regarded as an oddity, even a sideshow event. Now a
new collection of photos shows the work of an early Australian tattoo
artist.
