I hate to be stereotypical and post about the MET Gala, but I came across these candid shots and just wanted to share. These are much better than the entire range of posed shots seen around the place [bends the elbow, puts hand to waist]. Random note, Rihanna's dress is insane. And not in a good way.

Florals & Fashion
There have been great things coming out of Australia these days - admittedly, I get a little flutter of excitement whenever I see that something's from Australia. Call it pride or perhaps surprise, I'm not sure which. Being so far away from the rest of the world with a relatively small population (Shanghai has the same population as the whole of Australia), we don't normally have much news coming . . .
Parkour with Flour
Have always been fascinated by parkour - their ability to run, jump and flip across urban spaces fuelled by adrenaline, giving the cities a life different to that of the normal bustle of crowds and traffic.

Masked Beauty
"Dia de Los Muertos" was typed in my Google search bar for many days leading up to Halloween, and ideas swirled around...but nothing like this. You may have heard of the Mexican Day of the Dead festival with their masks and way too much facepaint - Rankin and Hunger’s Beauty Editor-At-Large Andrew Gallimore used it as an inspiration to create this absolutely stunning beauty editorial.

VS 2012: A Sneak Peak
I love Victoria's Secret fashion shows. Yes, so does the rest of the world. Quite impressive how the lingerie brand has created quite the following despite the fact that the store is leaning on the edge of the tacky and the pieces are actually quite mid-range. But throw in some incredibly hot women, blown kisses, wings and sparkles in the mix and they successfully manage to put together quite the . . .
