Review: Miss Bronte
- The Wellingtonista
- As we walk into the theatre a woman sits on stage frantically writing in a tiny book. She wears a plain blue dress made out of different patterned fabrics. Her hair is parted in the middle and tightly pulled back. Every so often she pauses, looks into the distance, then scribbles some more. The furniture […] The post Review: Miss Bronte appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

- The Wellingtonista
- I just spotted 2 pinky frilled jellyfish in worser bay. I didn’t hang round to take photos but more may wash in with then high tide and there may be more around the south coast it’s often this time of year we get a swarm for a few days. They looked a little like this […] The post Is it jellyfish season? appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Notional Significance: Backbone
- The Wellingtonista
- [See all Notional Significance posts] In memory, my feet are weary as I leave the Halfway. My present tense seems strained now, an affectation of immediacy undermined by the distance between walking and writing: years since I was here in the flesh; almost as long since my words last travelled this road. But I must […] The post Notional Significance: Backbone appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Live Leader Board
- The Wellingtonista
- Here at the Wellingtonista we’re firm faves of Richard Aindow - former editor of Fish Head magazine, and Quiz Master of Wednesday nights at Mighty Mighty – so we were pleasantly surprised to catch him outside the Rogue & Vagabond last night with a group of lycra-clad lit-up young ladies in incandescent costumes.

The New Zealand Fringe Festival
- The Wellingtonista
- The New Zealand Fringe Festival has been going for a week and it’s got just over two more weeks to run. Sadly, I’ve only made it to two shows so far (because moving house) a pathetic effort really, because there are HEAPS. Cabaret, circus, comedy, dance, music, theatre, visual art – there are a lot of […] The post The New Zealand Fringe Festival appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

‘Nothing to be Done’ but laugh
- The Wellingtonista
- Comedian Luwita Hana Randhawa does look a little serious below. She looks like someone who probably doesn’t take a lot of nonsense. Someone who would handle a heckler with a dry, sassy quip that would leave everyone wishing they’d thought of such a line, because everyone has those “If only I’d said that” moments. I […] The post ‘Nothing to be Done’ but laugh appeared first on The Wellingtonista.

Dessert anyone?
- The Wellingtonista
- I’ve been thinking about the fabulous desserts I’ve had in recent times around Wellington (prompted by another couple of really good inhalings over the weekend). I think we’re pretty spoilt with the number and variety of options frankly. Some that stick in my mind (and I do confess to eating a few, so these truly […] The post Dessert anyone? appeared first on The Wellingtonista.
