City Smackdown: Melbourne vs. Paris
Madame Sousou on Brunswick Street is taking it to, well, the streets.
Paris chic in every way except that an unfortunate geographical confusion leaves the Parisian wannabes of Fitzroy looking up from their café au laits to find, not the Pompidou Centre but a warehouse wall.
Winner? You figure it out.

ah melbourne-bless! there's something a little sad about its constant need to compare itself with europe. you only need to be in Melbs 5 minutes before someone's boring your pants off telling you about its cafe culture, its european style blah blah blah. why can't melbourne just accept itself for what it is. a really nice, chilled and pretty civilised second city in a young, funky nation. it doesn't have to be paris, or milan, or london. its melbourne.
although I should have added, looks alright there. might drop by when I'm back in town at xmas
