STM Loves: Luxe Designer Fashion Hire, Plateful Perth, The 7 Stages Of Grieving, Adore Beauty and Re-PLAY
Behind the glass of this Subiaco boutique, there are thousands of dresses: maxis, minis, long-sleeved and strapless, tulle, sequins and everything in between, plus shoes, bags, jewellery and headwear. But it's sustainable fashion with a mission; 100 per cent of the proceeds go to support Vinnies' programs for women, including help for those fleeing family violence. The venture, which stocks designers from Valentino to Aje, Zhivago and Leo Lin, was started by the charity almost nine months ago under the motto of 'women helping women'. Last financial year, Vinnies' emergency helpline took almost 50,000 calls, with almost a third first-time callers. 'There is so much need out there, all sorts of challenges for people in the community, so we wanted to find a new revenue source to help fund, develop and grow our vital programs,' says Zoe Hammond, Vinnies head of designer fashion. There are stylists in-store and four and eight-day hire options. See @luxedesignerfashionhire on Instagram. For the young and the young at heart, this interactive exhibition at The Art Gallery of Western Australia features the playful work of local artist Maxxi Minaxi May. The display has hands-on installations, tactile experiences and bursts of colour to encourage different age groups to work together, and 'challenges the 'greyness' of contemporary life and pushes back against consumerism, schedules and screens'. 'Research highlights the profound impact of multigenerational play and creativity in igniting imagination and deepening relationships with each other and the world,' says Lilly Blue, curator and AGWA learning and creativity research manager. There will also be a special program for the winter school holidays. Re-PLAY runs July 5 until February. See . This month-long event has more than 100 offers to get people into the city in August, with everything from one-night-only premium dining to discounts for great value meals and for the first time, staycation packages with food included. The Premium Plates program includes a Parisian night at Fleur and a six-course Cape to Cape dinner at Cooee, among other high-end restaurants. Sip Sessions offers cocktail classes and guided bar-hopping, Feast involves long-table banquets and chef collaborations and Gourmet Getaways combines a hotel stay with dining. For those on a budget, Bargain Bites has specials for casual dinners and lunches. See . Yirra Yaakin Theatre Company is putting on a season of this groundbreaking play to mark 30 years since it premiered as a radical act of Aboriginal theatre-making. The 1995 play, by writer/director Wesley Enoch and acclaimed actor Deborah Mailman, is told by a single narrator and weaves together cultural knowledge, memories and experiences. Its production by Yirra Yaakin, starring Shontane Farmer and Shahnee Hunter in alternating shows, is the first time the play has been presented by an Aboriginal theatre company. It will be at Subiaco Arts Centre from July 3-12. See . After years of eagerly awaiting their skincare deliveries (and the obligatory Tim Tam), Perth beauty lovers can finally shop in-person, with Adore Beauty opening two stores. The first opened at Westfield Carousel on June 26, with Westfield Booragoon to follow on July 10. More than 90 brands will be on offer, including a dedicated Korean beauty section, haircare, fragrances, local favourites and global names like La Roche-Posay and Dermalogica. Forget hibernating: from July 7 to August 17 the Leederville Precinct will come alive with this annual food, wine and music festival. Over six weeks The Leederville Hotel, The Garden and Sevo will host a tasty array of dinners, tastings, workshops and parties as a way to showcase talented chefs, winemakers and creatives. From an evening of Boombox Bingo, to a decadent Deep Woods truffle dinner to a Stretch and Sip mozzarella masterclass, there is plenty to draw you out of your dressing gown.

British star Matthew Goode reveals dark reason Bond producers rejected him
Matthew Goode has revealed the dark reason James Bond producers rejected him moments after meeting him. James Bond bosses have been whittling down the long list of actors for years in a desperate bid to find the man who will replace Daniel Craig. Barbara Broccoli, 65, along with her brother Michael G. Wilson, 83, were the producers of the Bond franchise before they were replaced by Amazon MGM Studios for a massive $1 billion dollar deal in February. And before they chose Craig, Dept. Q star Goode revealed on Thursday's episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast that he was personally invited for a sit down chat with the producers who were seemingly interested in potentially having him be the new Bond before the role eventually went to Craig. However, sadly the meeting didn't go as the actor had planned. 'I didn't get to the audition,' remarked the star. 'But it was quite a funny one because — and she's gorgeous and just a lovely, lovely person — she was like, 'So what's your idea for Bond?' And I was like, 'My idea for Bond. We've gotta take it back to the books, you know? Really, we absolutely have to make this guy an alcoholic, a drug addict. He hates himself. He hates women. He hates a lot of people. He's in deep pain. He's brilliant at killing people.'' Goode confessed that his vision for the character didn't end up sitting well with the then producers, who swiftly dismissed him from the meeting. Goode reflected: 'I think by the end of the interview, she was like, 'Mhmm. Next.' I wanted to make it really dark.' 'I should have said was, 'But also incredibly charming.'' laughed the star. 'Ultimately, you know. What they did get was Daniel Craig.' Meanwhile, the rumour mill has been continually whirring as to who will take on the iconic 007 gig. But most recently, it was Aaron Taylor-Johnson who has dropped hints that he'll be stepping into Bond's shoes. The Marvel movie star, 34, recently signed a deal with Omega – the brand of watch the 007 spy wears. Omega has been supplying timepieces to the iconic movie character since the release of 1995's Golden Eye. When asked previously whether he would step into Bond's shoes, the Marvel star said: 'I find it charming and wonderful that people see me in that role. I take it as a great compliment.'
