BEERGARDEN.

Ok, the Wintergarden is about to undergo severe and much needed renovation. Management over the years desperate for tenants turned the place into Mongkok Markets. With class leaking out of it from all sides, the Wintergarden turned into nothing but an aging montrosity that even Lisa Ho and Wayne Cooper could'nt fix.

Carla Zampatti mixed it with Telstra and Aussie Post, Gant downsized and then closed it's doors, Jag had a revival (can you call it that) and the foodcourt become a haven for the homeless, I just pray that the 'all new' Wintergarden will have some level of exclusivity.

Here are some suggestions.

1. If Managment want any Government/Medical/Communication Companies in there, put them where no-one can see them.

2. Keep Georg Jensen, Carla Zampatti, Wayne Cooper, Lisa Ho, even Kookai!

3. Secure respected retailers such as Jayson Brunsdon, Calibre, Farage, AG Women and Men, Armani Exchange, Christensen Copenhagen, Cactus Jam, Lacoste, American Apparell, Acne, Fleur Wood, Joh Bailey and the list goes on.

4. Put all service stores like newsgents, hairdressers, chemists, beauty salons together.

5. Put all less expensive stores together. Don't mix and match. No-one is going to by a cocktail dress from Carla Zampatti and then buy the shoes from Williams the Shoeman!! Eeek!

6. You'll no doubt put in a Foodcourt, so make it decent. Business men may like a Portugasm from Nando's but let them go someone else to eat it, say Loganholme!

7. Infiltrate strict NO SMOKING LAWS for customer and staff. I hate seeing the person who's just sold me my $1000 suit sucking back a bad one. Not good, not pretty. I don't care if you work at Jil Sander.

8. Don't be scared to approach BIG International labels. Versace has kind of died in the arse in this country, but Hermes do well, so does Ferragamo, Burberry (Perth's getting one in July), Prada or Gucci. High street labels like H&M and Top Shop won't come here and if the stock in the Asian stores are anything to go by, thank God!

9. Invest in a good architect/interior designers (may be too late). Give us something to make our jaws drop. QueensPlaza is so 2006.

10. Don't demolish the Regent Theatre. That's just fucking ridiculous!

Ok, that's my bitch. The Wintergarden has been a eyesore outside and in for too many years, here's your chance to step it up and deliver. Do it, cos there's no going back.

11. NO NAFF ADVERTISING.
