You know what Zip Zip is, right? They're those little USB drives that look like plastic toy bricks. Oh, those! You say. They're clever! I saw my friend's and thought ‘Why didn't I think of that?' Well, it's useless asking yourself that now, isn't it. You may as well just give up. Or maybe, just maybe, you can become a building block in the global juggernaut that is Zip Zip.
If you've ever wondered why Brunswick Street doesn't smell like garlic sauce and dread-lock beanies, here's your answer: Kleins Perfumery.
Since 1993, Mr Will and his Kleinettes have been stocking this legendary nasal oasis with niche fragrances from perfume houses all around the world. With a Grenouille-like curiosity for these "fashionable artificial odours", inquisitive souls stumble in to a scent emporium adorned with vintage wallpapers and florentine chandeliers, under the watchful eye of Top Cat, the homosexually-inclined Kleins feline.

Got legs? Got $25? Got a drink driving conviction? Got a date with a hippie? Got a lunch meeting with David Byrne? Got a fat bum? Got a heist planned in a loading zone? Then call The Humble Vintage.

Sorry, e.g.etal is even better because every piece of jewellery they sell in this small but iconic Melbourne shop and gallery space is hand-made.
Don't go thinking that this is some stand about retail gig where all you do is chew gum and listen to house music. You need to have your finger on the pulse for this role - the fashion pulse, the leggings and boots pulse, the Lady Gaga in underpants pulse.
Virtual home to labels such as Chronicles of Never, Romance Was Born, GRAZ and Happy Socks, The Grand Social will soon expand into a physical retail space called Edition.
There was no internet when the first Biennale of Sydney (BoS) launched 37 years ago. Promotion was confined to the daily papers and a very intensive flyering process. How things have changed. In its 17th year, Sydney's largest art event needs someone to take command of a computer mainframe.
If you don't like computers then please do not apply for this position.
