Urban Living in Myer's Window



Thursday night after work, Meg and I went to see a cool show provided by a Canadian group called Scrap Art. They played a million different instruments all constructed completely out of car and bike parts, farm equipment, etc etc and made great entertainment. It was interesting to see and hear.

The next stop was Myer's Department Store where 4 men between 40-65 (with shaved heads) are LIVING in the display windows for 2 weeks!!! They have three windows (kitchen, living room, bedroom) and literally spend 24/7 there. We can watch them at any point and see what they are doing. Last night 3 of them were dancing to music Karaoke style whereas 1 was just sitting on his bunk talking on a mobile.


Myer's Men Dancing to songs in their "living room!"

It was really funny because a group of 14 year old skater dudes decided to dance and act silly in front of the window facing the "Myer's Men." One of the boys took off his shirt and then the Myer's Man copied... and ultimately the boy was almost nude by the end of the dance-off! haha Then one of the Myer's Men was chosen to shower... and they had to figure out how to get in the shower without the people in the audience seeing anything! ha!
