@Miscellaneous
If I read this blog, I clearly understand satire. Like I said, I know that many people in Australia and in Melbourne dress badly. It pains me that that's the case. I just find it really disappointing when visitors don't get to have the real Melbourne experience because they're looking for the wrong things. We've got so much to offer and it gets overlooked way too often - that's the only point I'm trying to make, just in my long-winded ranting way.

@Amanda, I find myself repeating... myself as I've mentioned this on a previous post. This is, in fact, satire. Grats on loving your city, but you need to take what she's saying a little less seriously.

Wow, really not cool D, slagging off Melbourne. Two things you said in this post absolutely amazed me.. I just love your absolute ignorance in this.

Firstly, the entire city dresses bad? Ok, I won't deny that an overwhelming number of people dress terrible, but an underlying theme is that this is Australia. We're laid-back and carefree people, you can't compare us to the vain (don't even try to deny it) pulled-together fashionistas of Paris and New York. If you thought Melbourne, the fashion capital of Australia, was bad, god forbid you see the skanky hogans in Brisbane and Sydney. Melburnians have more class and fashion sense than the rest of the nation.

Secondly, people in Melbourne are uncultured?! HA that seriously made me laugh. Again, Melbourne is the cultural city of Australia. Clearly you were looking for the same snobby high-fashion culture that dozens of other large cities in the world have. I genuinely feel sorry for you, that you came to Melbourne and failed to recognize the beauty and uniqueness of the city. We may have disappointing and limited designer stock, but you clearly missed out on the real Melbourne experience: exploring laneways and arcades, spending an afternoon in a hidden cafe or bar, shopping in independent boutiques, looking at street art, buying waffles from the Waffle Man, taking a tram with a takeaway coffee in hand, going to underground music gigs, finding random warehouse parties, hopping between rooftop bars on summer nights... And that's just the city.
Melbourne IS culture, because we have our own unique way of life.

It's a pity that you didn't get to appreciate what an amazing city Melbourne is. I've been all around the world and I really wouldn't live anywhere else. Seriously, next come you visit, D, I'll show you Melbourne as it really is. Email me or something and i will send you a list. If you can look past the polyester dresses and your own reflection, I think you'll really love it here.

I really enjoyed this piece. I just visited SF & I can certainly relate to what you are saying about Melbourne. Nice though the place might be, it is difficult to believe that an entire city can dress so badly & be so démodé! It feels like travelling back in time to the late 1970s.

PS. Don't misunderstand me: I liked SF, though!

I love you D!
