Oooooh, this is a low blow from the Huffington Post. Turns out Elizabeth & Jessica Wakefield dressed just like every Assembly-goer today, 20 years ago. I think we can all just cringe walke away from the hipster topic now, there really is nothing more to say.
Spotted at The Fringe Arts pop-up store at the V&A. Not in the main building but outside in the Alfred Mall. It’s filled with gorgeously pretty things including handmade ceramics, jewellery, notebooks, decor goodies, paintings and loads more. Definitely worth swinging by there for your Christmas shopping.
“Turning goth will work. The ANC will be all like “What music are you listening to?” and the entire country will be like “SHUTUP YOU’RE NOT EVEN MY REAL DAD!” and we’ll run to our room and slam the door shut.” -@pleasefindthis
Are you wearing black today to show that you oppose the protection of informationprotection of corrupt government officials act? Do you think it will help? Will journos end up being no more than ‘repressed mouthpieces for a corrupt regime’?
WILL BLOGGERS HAVE TO SAVE THE DAY VIA NOT BEING OFFICIALLY JOURNOS?
If you are called…WILL YOU BE READY?????
Seriously though… let’s do some breathing exercises to ‘get through Black Tuesday’:
Let us have a moment now for the Bvlgari Lions.So huge and dangerous, tamed only by the most beautiful of women. And only the most beautiful of women can handle their cubs. Are you a Bvlgari woman? Do you possess a beauty that can tame a beast so savagely powerful? They are so awesome.
Tear out my heart and eat it in front of me you devastatingly cute little cub faces.
And then I found this, the new range of Bvlgari shades at Sunglass Hut, also part of the Lion story. If you look closely you will see I am actually hunting the shades. Like a lion in the Sunglass Hut store, through the glassy plains.
I laughed a lot at this article on Jezebel, about how, at recent Grace Hopper Conference on Women in Computing, a female venture capitalist on one of the panels advised women to take their natural talents into account when conceiving their startup, ’such as shopping’. As Jezebel put it, ‘because lady-bizniz should be about lady-skillz’. Click to read their other tongue-in-cheek ideas for female startups, including a chit-chat service for girl friend gossip, and a consultancy for men that helps you ‘understand your wife better’.
Apparently the goodie bags included nail polish and lipstick and manicure sets, and everyone felt very appropriately patronised. Agreed – where are the free branded notebooks??? Where are the samples of cappuccino coffee? And the lanyards???? What a travesty.
“The reality for women who want to work in PR is that they are going to be working with 24 catty [women] who will backstab and compete with them. No one will say thank you. You will eat lunch at 5 p.m. It sucks and it’s hard work.”
