Clam Bistro: Being An Australian Teenager In The 1990s

clambistro:

I’ve been listening to Crowded House’s greatest hits and fondly remembering how many earnest teenage tears I shed to Not The Girl You Think You Are, which in turn made me remember hosing myself down with Australis Waterberry body-spray at Mallacoota on New Year’s Eve.

Continuing in that…

+ getting copies of the The Face magazine, cutting them up and pasting random bits on my school books and thinking I was way cool.
