Paul is going to be a quarter of a millennium old!

And to celebrate, Paul would like to be more ecological and environmentally friendly! To do that, he needs your help.

Paul will dedicate his transportation methods to purely a fixed gear bike (and his electric vespa to carry his girlfriend around town when needed). To do that however, he will of course need to get a fixed gear bike!

This year, say goodbye to ancient techniques of boring, forest harming birthday cards, and cheesy environmentally hazardous gift wraps of land-fill ready presents, with sexual innuendos. There’s now a better solution, it’s 2010!

You can make a donation to the Help-Paul-get-a-fixed-gear-bike Fund! It’s paperless, as it will be a donation via PayPal, and it will be going toward an extremely great cause!

Every bit counts, all you need to do is head over to http://www.paypal.com and make a donation of at least $1 (if you make a donation of anything less than 0.50 you’ll be making a donation to just PayPal!) to:

pjc@chalkconsultancy.com

and that’s it!

You don’t even need a PayPal account, if you don’t have one, you can pay through PayPal using a credit card.

The new bike I’m looking for is the basic entry level fixie of 2000RMB / AUD$325 / €225 / £185, if I receive anything more than this amount, I’ll be using it to entertain my friends on my birthday.

But wait…there’s more!

For those nice people out there, if you make a donation of considerable sum, I’ll send you a magical gift!

€1-€5: I’ll put you on my blog at http://www.paulishere.com/blog
€5-€10: I’ll buy you a drink next time we meet
€10-€20: I’ll send you a letter, telling you how awesome you are
€20-€50: I’ll send you a photo I took, and sign it, and tell you how awesome you are.
€50+: I’ll send you a poster, sign it, and tell you how awesome you are.
€150+: I’ll send you a huge poster, of me, naked, on the bike, signed, and tell you that you are the most awesome person in the world.

Awesome people:

Mikaela Edri – €20.00 (AUD$28.94)
Steven Hsieh – €13.82 (AUD$20.00)
Quy Sam – Brooks seat (probably more expensive than my bike)

The Considered Ensemble is a great idea, taking minimalism to fashion journalism. The typography is splendid and great concept well put together.

I’ve been busy working on a fashion video with some friends in Brisbane, and it’s looking quite amazing.Here is a sneak preview of what is more to come. Special thanks goes out to Oscar Boscar and Po for their amazing location as always, Jess at Jesselle PR for organizing and putting all this together, Becca for the great make up, Brit for the amazing talent, JB and Chih-Han for some life saving moments and assistance.

Above: Before and After shot. No Photoshop.

Just found this the other day from a shoot with Julia Anderson two years ago. So yes, it is important to have a good hair and make up artist.

Thanks Francesca.
