Paris dreaming...
Beautiful image by: Strawberry Juice
I'm packing my bags for Paris! We'll just for the weekend anyway... it's my 30th Birthday on Sunday and as a treat my wonderful husband is taking me to Paris to celebrate! My wish was to sit on the steps of the Sacre Couer overlooking the Paris skyline while eating french cheese with crusty baguettes and drinking red wine. I'm a simple girl with simple pleasures (except that I wanted to go to Paris to do it of course)
So there will be a little break on blogging over the weekend while I take a well deserved rest! But come Monday I will be back at it. I have the latest Blanket issue to release on Wednesday and some new announcements to share with you all, so there's a definite mixture of excitement and apprehension in the air. I am so tempted to tell you now because I am awful at keeping things a surprise but it's not long now until I can share - so I will keep you guessing for a little while longer!
Have a beautiful weekend - I plan too!

Show us your Blanket Poster!
One of the lucky winners of the Blanket Survey Prize Pack, Jasho, took a photo of his new Blanket Poster when it arrived for him in the post! It's lovely to see a poster go to such an appreciative home! The only hiccup was the poster arrived minus the badge pack that was included (apparently there was an appreciative postal worker as well?)
If you would like to show us your Blanket poster then email me a photo at: editor (at) blanketmagazine.com
And if you would like to join in the fun you can get a copy of the Blanket poster in the Blanket online store.

Graffiti of the day
In the upcoming issue of Blanket (issue 15), I interview Some Guy, a San Francisco artist. In response to one question he remarks, "Most folks won't write on a blank bathroom wall. Except for taggers, and they're just jerks." So I dedicate this graffiti of the day to the tagger in the above picture. Why? Because underneath his red scrawl and if you look very closely you will see the faded outline of Sydney's last remaining Banksy. What a jerk.

A big battle for such a little boy.
My friend Tom McGhee has been donating his photographic services in support of a little Australian boy, Isaiah Muller, who is currently staying at Ronald McDonald House in Manhattan. Isaiah is there for a series of treatments to hopefully save his remaining eye after the other one was lost to cancer.
Isaiah was diagnosed with retinoblastoma, a rare paediatric cancer of the eye, at the age of just 18 months. A tumour in his right eye resulted in that eye being removed to prevent the cancer from spreading to his brain.
'The actual shoot was interesting trying to get a child to sit still for a minute is a task in it's own, let alone afterjust having had a 4 hr treatment. Hugh & Deborah were very generous with their time and they brought their daughter Eva with them who Isaiah fell in love with straight away, calling out he loved her when they left.'
If you would like to donate to help this brave little boy then please go to the Women's & Childrens Health Foundation.
