You might remember the Apple Pie that was featured awhile ago. Well, there has been yet another Apple occurrence, this time created by an unnamed Japanese Fuji apple orchard owner. This is it... How did he do this? The Fuji apple man designed special 'tan-toos' that prevented the stencilled areas from ripening as fast as the rest of the apple, thus creating the Apple-ised apples. Sometimes I . . .
Red Bull Spacejump
"Red Bull gives you wings" - in this case, it most certainly does. Forget football games or NASCAR races, Red Bull decides to sponsor a skydive...from space. To think that I was excited when I found out Virgin was giving out a trip to space as part of their frequent flyers program (actually, that's still quite exciting). This seems like insanity. Last Sunday, over 8 million people tuned into . . .
Google Me
We all know that Google processes huge amounts of data, including three billion search queries a day and 72 hours of YouTube videos a minute. Ever wonder where all the magic is done? The Internet giant just recently shared these previously-unseen images of its data centres around the . . .
Naked Vodka
There are many brands that are clearly owned by men. G-Spirits liquor company is definitely one of them, evident through the release of their most recent limited edition collection: The Naked Vodka. Okay, I actually made up that name in all entirely. It's called the 'G-Spirits Collection No. 1' but I thought it was quite dull considering its selling point. THE FOREMENTIONED SELLING POINT: This . . .
Facial Hairstyling
Let me just make you all aware of this event they call the 2012 European Beard and Moustache Championships held in Wittersdorf, France. Over 100 men with the wildest whiskers entered the competition with curled moustaches, brushed beards and faces adorned with eccentric designs obtained through some intense primping, styling and blow drying. I thought that the poodles were bad, this is . . .
Space Conservation
We are constantly hearing about the serious lack of space for housing in all the major cities. Jakub Szczesny of Centrala decides to work around it by building the (ridiculously skinny) Keret House in Warsaw, Poland: Wedged in a passageway between two city buildings, the house will be used as an artist's residence and art installation space. Measuring just 47 inches wide at the front and 27 . . .
Scary Beautiful
Came across something that it reminded me of Alexander McQueen's (RIP, fashion genius) amazing yet crazy shoes. How anyone even walks in them astounds me... "Scary Beautiful": a pair of shoes created by Leanie van der Vyver (artist) and Rene van den Berg (shoe designer). Perhaps more scary than beautiful, this pair of reverse stilettos requires the wearer to rest on their shins rather than their . . .
Panda Love
Too cute. We all know that Chinese people love their pandas but this seriously takes things to the next level. Perhaps if you took a little sneak peek below, you would've seen some unusual looking pandas. Look again. They are not pandas. *all gasp* For the past two years, researchers at China's Wolong National Nature Reserve have been working to reintroduce giant panda Caocao and her cub Taotao . . .
Happy Bubble
The last few days have been a burst of excitement for three primary reasons: 1. My first week-long public holiday - bliss! There seemed to be a China swap where all the city-dwellers went travelling and the country-folk all came to Shanghai. Masses and masses of them. Yes, it was a myriad of colours, patterns and smelly toilets with long lines. 2. Endless eating, nougat, coffee, pineapple . . .
Train: Chateau de Versailles
This is one train I would not mind travelling on. Despite the uncomfortable looking orange-brown seats, I am sold. In this Ambient Marketing project by Encore Eux Agency, a train in Paris was transformed into a moving replica of the Chateau de Versailles - think ornate paintings, golden sculptures and intricately designed ceilings. It even includes a mock library, Hall of Mirrors . . .
