Feel awed by your intern? I do - Kat George aka Style Lines sits besides me at Dazed and is giving me a hand on bits and bobs whilst feeding me information about all things cool and Melbourne (where she is from...). One such Melbournian tidbit is Alpha60, a Melbourne-based label, who with the power of one single white tee they put on the runway in their last show brought back floods of memories. In year 8, our form produced a stage version of Stand By Me as part of our annual Drama Festival where I was stage manager. I could probably repeat every single line of that film given the number of times we had to watch it on the crappy school tv (which had no aerial connection). I'm fairly proud of my little foray into stage management which I took FAR too seriously considering it was a crappy school production, and a tee with River Phoenix as Chris Chambers (held in high esteem by Alpha60 as they have him on their contact page as well..) reminds me of those times when I had nothing better to do than to give 200%. A tee with all four of those Stand By Me kids would probably send me into a self-analytical quandry where I use self-help therapy tactics such as point blank refusing everything ("Do you want a cuppa tea?" "No I do not f****** want a cuppa tea!") and quietly rock myself to sleep whilst curled up in a tight ball on one side of the bed...
