Jess and I would like to thank everyone who came along and supported our recent Bandanna Day promotion.

A great deal of interest was shown in our display on the different forms of cancer and we were kept busy with a constant flow of enquires regarding Bandanna day.

We would like to thank the following people; Amanda Blohm - Can Teen, Amanda Hall - ITSA, Tim Box - ITSA, Sharon Bilboe - Campus Administration, Val and the girls in the print shop and Nathan Simpson – The Advertiser for making our day a success.

Special thanks to young Blake who excelled in his role as gopher.

We hope that that the money raised on the day helps in some small way.

Elaina's Catwalk With a Difference

Medievil Disco models liven up the shopper's day in Crown Central (pictured above)

Bright lights, 80's perms and come and get me boots were all part of the Medievil Disco Boutique’s multimedia fashion promotion.

The show was a success! Click and drag, with two drag queens hosting the show in Crown Central; a bit of a shock for Wollongong shoppers!

Clad in eccentric outfits; the “models” danced and sang their way through the show; taking part in childish games like twister, nutbush and musical chairs.

I assisted with styling these extravagant outfits, music compilations and art projections.

The result was lots of fun and a great experience!

Update on Ann and Jess' Bandana Day Promo

*** BANDANA DAY APPROACHES FRIDAY OCTOBER 27 ***

We have been busy promoting Bandana day by distributing flyers around campus as well as the train stations, and no telegraph pole is safe. The Bandanna merchandise has arrived; these include pens $2.00 badges $4.00 and Bandannas $3.00

The Cancer Council has given us various pamphlets on different types of cancer to distribute on the day.

Nathan Simpson from the Advertiser has shown an interest in our special day and will run an article on Bandana Day. We have contacted I98 FM to see if we could get a plug on the radio station , but have not heard back from them.

So we hope every one will get behind our cause and support our day.

We will be in the Wollongong TAFE Campus canteen area from 10 am.

Welcome to the World Maeve

Congratulations must go to Maeve Helen Grace who has made her very first positive contribution to the well being of the planet as we know it by making Ann and Peter deliriously happy with her long anticipated appearance at 6.40 pm on September 12th this year.

Weighing in at a healthy 3.22 kilos and strangely accompanied by a train set, Maeve greeted the world with a "What's all the fuss about?" attitude.

Proud parents Ann and Peter refused to comment on Maeve's immediate plans for the moment, leaving us all to guess as to what surprises she will be springing on us.

Maeve's slightly confused brother, Isaac, had all doubts as to the strength of the bond between himself and Maeve removed when presented with the train set that magically apppeared during the birth; Maeve's silent approval was given with a little knowing smile as Isaac ran off to happily open his new toy, secure in the fallacy that all new additions to the family arrive with a toy.

Upon leaving the hospital to return home with Maeve and his happily exhausted parents, Isaac was overheard saying;"Wasn't that great Mum and Dad. Can we go home and make another one now please? I would really like a trike to carry this train set around in!!!!"

Welcome to the world Maeve. As Spock said "May you live long and prosper."
