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 . . .
Marathon Craziness
There really isn't very much that can make you feel lazier about lazing around in bed on a Tuesday afternoon than this: Say hello to Fauja Singh. He is currently 101 years old and is officially the world's oldest marathon runner. He has retired from marathons however, probably felt a little lost without the feel of the wind on his crazy long beard and decided to run in a 5k race last Sunday. . . .
