All that’s missing is the sea, But don’t worry, you can suntan! WHITE HOUSE - Wham! At On Magazine, we like a good theme party. We tend to think of each issue as a theme party on paper. This edition is no different. We’re channeling George Michael at the apex of his career: lolling on a lilo in speedos and shades at Tony Pike’s swimming pool, Ibiza ‘83. Think popping fashion, Balearic beats and overt hedonism on a sensuous Mediterranean island. Check out our delectable fashion shoot on page 12 with innovative photographer/ longtime Wanaka summersider Kirsty Swan, and be sure to listen to our music man MAL’s sultry mix to indulge in the Club Tropicana vibe. Bliss! There are plenty of big parties to get amped about this season, which is why we’re compiled our Summer Festival Lowdown. From page 6, you’ll find the insider’s word on Summerdaze, Rhythm and Alps, Summerlands, Rippon and the Catlins River Festival. Each of these gigs will be epic in their own right, and the On crew aim to make it to each one. We’ll be there in our jandals, ready to jive outside way into the night.
