Staking a claim
Darlinghurst’s hectic Victoria Street, just outside the Wicked Weasel emporium. It’s a place where people spend every weekend, pretty much all the time, bumping up against boundaries… But in this tiny corner, someone’s made a claim.

You can usually see a homeless man on this bench. He engages all passers in conversation, ‘though we can rarely keep up. He often has a bag of jumbled up food, just like the one sitting there.
Once, walking past, there was a wallet lying on the ground open, with cards and things scattered.

But whatever the usual life of this area, the claim says, this corner is just off limits. They even added an extra ‘m’ for good measure.
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.
