This week’s issue of YOU lands on my desk. With the predictable cover and interview with Amor van der Westhuizen. Post-Joost. A heartbroken tell-all, which in an ideal world, we would all be spared. But, I suppose she is human, nonetheless. But, along with the interview …some very odd pictures. Could it be, that not [...]
If you are one of the season’s hottest new stars, you must wear one of the season’s hottest new looks. And if it happens to be blue hair….then so be it. Even if the final result, (though very beautiful in parts,) looks a little …Tavi Gevinson. Via Fashion gone rogue. Tweet
Please welcome the Boob scarf. A great …erm, statement, for chilly winter days. And for a good cause: They are by Lourdesoftheflies and are for sale on Etsy. A large portion of which is donated to a US breast cancer charity. For just $25 you can keep warm, look ridiculous and make a charitable donation. [...]
News in this weekend of a controversy at a polo match at the Franschoek Polo estate, Val de Vie. Normally, this event, would have as much national significance as a cat-fight in the parking lot, amongst the mothers at a Bishop’s U13 Rugby match, but it made headlines. Why? The Times reported that a 10 [...]
That an average-sized woman like Crystal Renn is labeled “plus-sized,” is, as we all know, nothing but evidence of the insanity of the modeling world. Her weight, after all, fluctuates only between an American Size 10 and a size 14. But, credited as she is, with much of the new success of “Plus-sized” models, it [...]
Joe from Book of Joe, discovered The Wedding Ring Coffin Store. I am not sure why I was surprised by it’s existence. After all, there are already plenty of “joy of divorce” books. A coffin for your wedding ring, is a natural next step after divorce parties and cakes, isn’t it? After you’ve “closed the [...]
COSMO is a magazine which succeeds in pretty much every market where it is launched. But some markets are more tricky than others. And Indonesia may on its way to be being the trickiest of all. The AP reports that: “Authorities in a devoutly Islamic district of Indonesia’s Aceh province have distributed 20,000 long skirts [...]
Naturally, we in Cape Town are just a little more …how do we say this politely….? Um …relaxed, about showing the love. In JHB it’s another thing altogether. Craziness. And yet, how to do it. There’s no option. Bravo! Swiped from Cherryflava. Tweet
The American Photographer, Jason Lewis, has shot a collection of Atlanta hipsters, along with the contents of their backpacks and satchels. (Naturally hipsters do not carry Mommy bags.) What he discovered is fascinating and voyeuristic. And surprising. Lots of weapons! There are not many bags filled with Soccer Homies, emergency dummies, decapitated Lego figures, tatty [...]
