A New Way of Looking

Dear hearts,

The Green Guru has set Miss Mich a challenge. Given that I may be slightly competitive, my little pea of a brain has been beetling away sorting out angles, strategies and maneuvers to both rise to and meet this task.

Subvert the Dominant Paradigm.

I was going to keep it as a surprise for you until the end of our little tete e tete., but I am not feeling subtle today Dear hearts. Having endured the most unfortunate piece of theater last night, I must confess along with our fair Mayor to sneaking out before half time. Escaping to my new favourite place to hang out, Salthouse, watching the Bright Young Things singing an acoustic set, Miss Mich was able breathe again. The smooth little unoaked Chardonnay and divine marina side setting may have aided in said recovery.

Talk about The Emperors New Clothes. Nothing could convince me that was good theater or even abstract art.

Thats why, Dear hearts, I subverted the dominant paradigm and walked out.

Just because it is considered polite and the “done thing” to stay to the end of something, doesn't mean one subjugates one's own opinion, sits through rubbish and then says thank you at the end of it.

It's should be the same with anything we associate ourselves with. Without a good dose of subversion, life on the whole would be pretty bland. Miss Mich is by no means advocating anarchy, but a healthy disregard for conservative, middle class standards goes a long way to amusing one's self and leads to an exploration of alternatives leading to who knows what treasure..(Just think the Charms...)

In Miss Mich's former life subverting the dominant paradigm of the eastern Suburbs women kept Miss Mich amused and made her the preferred curiosity amongst her friends and an oft invited lunch guest. Miss Mich would shake up the dominant lunch time paradigm by regaling the girls with saucy stories of scandalous acts of subversion with the afore mentioned Charms.

It could be said that one should be questioning more capital letter worthy issues and Miss Mich wholeheartedly agrees, but surely there is no greater sport than shaking up those who lead insular lives and making them embrace that which lies outside their comfort zone.

So in the spirit of subversion, Vive la Difference!

Enjoy the weekend

With love in a different position
