Hideous shop
Byron Bay-based micro-bikini company Wicked Weasel opened a flagship shop on Victoria Road, Darlinghurst, last year. They spared no expense fitting the huge place out, but I walk past most days and have never seen anyone go in or out.
I’ve been expecting some kind of culture jamming, considering the rapid response to billboards in the neighbourhood.
Spotted this bit of graffiti at about 7am this morning – so the shop’s either very fast at cleaning away the culture jam, or this is a first.
@katejinx was it this company? http://darlinghurstnights.com/2009/02/hideous-shop/

Funnily enough I walked past this morning too, and noted how awful the girl in the poster looks…errgh!

Trainspotter fact, one of the guys from Midnight Oil is an owner of this business.

Oh, here we go.
“Wicked Weasel is an Australian company that manufactures “risque” swimwear for women. The company first went online in 1999, and as of 2007, the website receives over 100,000 unique visitors per day. The company was founded by Peter Gifford, formerly the bass player for Midnight Oil.”

This reminds me of one of Dave’s former best housemates, he used to visit their site all the time in 2001.

obviously your lives are so boring that you have the time to complain about the shop. my partner and i have been shopping with wicked weasel for many years now and have a very happy and satisfying sex life. Wicked Weasel is an Australin company and all of the products are still manufactured here, im sure your fat bum underwear is proberly made in china! maybe if you took the time out of your boring small minded life and actually checked the shop out not just from your complaining angle outside you might actually find something that could make you and your poor partner happier and not feel the need to complain about retail shops that look great! – highly offended ww fan

Love the way Monique sandwiched her sex life into the mix. Thanks for the info, but I didn’t need to know that – it’s totally irrelevant to the article/post.
Ditto the big behind comment.
You totally missed the point on the social commentary of this posting. As for it’s author having a”boring small minded life”. Well, nothing could be further from the truth.

I’d better go check that my partner still loves me too after reading this. I’m not so sure now. Maybe he doesn’t? I’m not wearing any wicked weasel getup! Darn. My life is soooo miserable without it. How do I live?

Wicked Weasel indeed rocks. The Bondi store added some spice to our lives back in the days when we were young and goodlooking enough to get away with enjoying those sexy little bits of nothing. Whoever wrote that graff has a serious problem.
One thing I wonder about though — where do the WW models hide their, you know, labia? Or are they airbrushed out?

And another thing — I used to play in a band with Pete Gifford’s brother Chris. There you go, one degree of separation etc…
