Top image of Habitus Issue 09 cover which is out now. Bottom image taken with my trusty iPhone of my own copy of Habitus’ launch issue. Proof that I really I do love it. Do you guys read Habitus? If you are – high five to you. If you are not – why the hell not? You are totally missing out. I personally have every single copy since it’s launch issue in October/December 2008 as per Exhibit A. I love it. Clearly.At the moment, Habitus magazine and Smeg are giving their subscribers the chance to win a red Smeg FAB28 refrigerator worth $3,990. How awesome is that? I would love one of those puppies in my kitchen. As if you needed an incentive to subscribe to Habitus in the first place, now you have no excuse not to do it.

I wish I could give a subscription to each and every one of you, alas there can only be one winner. The Random Number Generator has spoken and the winner is Kirsty Pryer. Hooray for Kirsty! p.s. Do you want to know something really annoying? My comments don’t have a number next to them so I had to count each one to get to 26, which shouldn’t be such a big deal but I stuffed it up so many times while I was scrolling up and down the screen so it took me forever. Boring! Anyway, that’s my whinge for the day. Some images from the the current Habitus Issue 09. See? Beautiful.
