SnOOp - Australia Update

On SnOOp I don't usually share stuff about me... But at the moment there is a lot to share. Tomorrow we will be back to normal but for now... My little update about my adventures in Australia.

Well I got married to my wonderful Ollie who flew out with me to Australia. He is back in the UK for work and I'm missing him terribly. I convinced him to wear this bow tie which he looked very cute in. I have been checking out the fashion scene here and trying to get as much beach action as possible. Both are Ah-mazing!

I have been really busy filming Top Design judging some seriously talented young Australian designers. The challenges have been awesome. We have put them under tremendous stress to design interiors for shipping containers, bachelour pads, hotel suites and the list goes on. My fellow judges Jamie Druie and Nick Tobias were so much fun to work with. We didn't always agree but generally I was the one who was always right. If you're in Australia watch us on Channel 9, Wednesday's, 8pm. FYI... check out my awesome shoe collection throughout the show. Not always practical but wow they looked fab!

Other things going on...

On the 29th July at 8am I will be giving a a short 5 minute talk about 'Is Old New Again" at FastBREAK along with Darryl Nichols, Diego Bonetto Emma Elizabeth, Mathieu Gallios

Inside Your Fridge

This Fridge is from Denmark
My name is Lisbeth, I am a Danish woman 43 years with two children (12 and 15 years). As you can see we like to drink milk, eat all kinds of yoghurts. I think this is very typical for a Danish family.

This Fridge is from Kobe, Hyogo, Japan.
This is Yuki's parents fridge 

This Fridge is from Hanoi, Vietnam.
I'm Dony and I'm n Hanoi for work. I have a beautiful apt here an a brand new fridge which I filled with (possibly) healthy food. Fish and meat in the freezer, grated parmesan (from Italy), vegetables and ricotta in the lower section. Look at the nice straw box for eggs - isn’t it wonderful?

 This Fridge is from Nairobi, Kenya.
 Angie's Fridge

This Fridge is from Moscow, Russia.
Usually my fridge has more yogurt and some camembert, too.

I have just discovered Fridgewatcher a new favourite site. It's a project where people from all around the globe open their fridges to others. I love how every fridge tells a story of the person who owns it.

All I Own

All photos by Sannah Kvist

Sweedish photographer Sannah is visiting people in their home and photographing their stuff. This shoot made me instantly think of my FAVOURITE book "Snoop", by Sam Gosling. For the last ten years, ingenious psychologist Sam has been studying how people project (and protect) their inner selves, and how we form impressions of others. He dispatches teams of scientific snoops to see what we can learn about people from their bathrooms, offices and bedrooms - and from everyday signals ranging from where people live to the clothes they wear. A good snooper can work out how strong a relationship is, how someone is likely to vote, and well yer anything. Lets here how good your snooping abilities are and give us a snippet about the people in Sannah's photographs. Sannah will be having an exhibition soon from this series. Go over and say hi.
