It's out! The March issue of Time Out Melbourne has hit the shelves and tucked away on page 26 is the article about filming Offspring in Melbourne, more especially Fitzroy and uses my blog and me as a source! Now I know a true blogger might take this naturally in stride, but not me - I want to jump up and down, toast with champagne (in saucers not flutes) and buy lots and lots of copies.

So a few days ago I got an email from a writer with Time Out magazine who, while researching the role of Fitzroy in the tv series Offspring, had bumped into the blog.

I wouldn't want to put a break in the cupcake-a-thon so today I thought I would take you back to Cristina Re, Where a Girl Goes. This is one of the most delightfully girly shops/cafes I have ever walked into.

*don't forget to enter the La Clinica giveaway here*You may recall a few weeks ago that on Census night I introduced you to my "local" (insert disclaimer - this pub, the North Fitzroy Star, is not particularly local but so much do I wish it was that's what Dino, Bean and I have dubbed it) but was more chatty about the census than the wonders of this little pub. Any pub that comes complete with hundreds of the orange backs (the orange and cream penguin paperbacks) and boardgames is automatically a
