Life is what 'chew' make of it.

Imagine being a piece of bubblegum. What an adventure! Not one for the faint hearted or germaphobic, but one for the curious and eager.

You start your colourful life in a safe paper-come-plastic wrapper, sitting in a large clear jar with your identical relatives all around you. Daily you watch as dozens of wide eyed, chubby fingered, little people shuffle in and out of the candy stor...

We are what we do...

Posted by Dalene on Tuesday, March 23, 2010

Some people have a soft (expensive) spot for handbags or shoes, but my addiction is one far more practical. Sunglasses. I’ve always justified my sunny collection on the fact that sunglasses have an SPF. That African sun, plus direct iris action, equals disaster. Sunglasses are essential, whereas handbags give you back problems and heels give you bunions (eew). So really when you look ...

We are afraid of the wrong things...

Posted by Dalene on Saturday, March 20, 2010

People are weird. We are. We’re complex creatures with insecurities and quirks on a journey to find out who we are. Embracing our individuality means acknowledging our hopes and fears. It's all very serious stuff until you hear what kind of fears some people genuinely have. I don’t mean to poke fun at other people’s fears… wait a minute, what am I saying? Yes I do!

Ever heard o...

Surf's Up!

Posted by Dalene on Saturday, March 20, 2010

I’m a surfer. Not in the conventional sense however. I surf in my tracksuit pants and Springleap t-shirt, not my wetsuit. I run a browser, not the length of a beach. I enjoy carpet under my toes, not sand. I’m the internet surfer. If you’re reading this blog post then you’re an internet surfer too. Awe’ bru.

There is nothing better going online for one thing and realising hours later that you’ve viewed profiles, watched videos, caught up on news; you now know who is dating who and ...

Bitch Please!

Posted by Dalene on Thursday, March 11, 2010

Pet fashion has just sky rocketed in the past few years! Paris Hilton went public with her latest, breathing fashion accessory… Tinkerbell, her Chihuahua pooch who is significantly smaller than any handbag Paris has ever owned!

Dog owners around the world enthusiastically bling out their furry friends with everything from feathers to diamonds! Can anyone say crazy? I’m all for dres...

Fish Falling from the Sky...

Posted by Dalene on Thursday, March 11, 2010

What are the odds of fish actually falling from the sky?. The chances of a pig flying? A cow jumping over the moon? Yeah, I thought so. Largely Impossible.

How sad. Our society is one that doesn’t believe that ~~ANYTHING~~ EVERYTHING is possible. If someone told you that a cow jumped over the moon you’d chalk it up to a gullibility prank. What you wouldn’t do is flash a grimace of ...

Which Fashion Rocker are You?

Posted by Dalene on Thursday, March 4, 2010 In : Fashion

For the world of fashion, rock, and gaming, the consecutive colours green, red, yellow, blue and orange will never be seen in the same way again! Rock Band has taken the world by storm with its smooth ability to make any Tom, Dick and Harry feel like a Tony (Royster), Cher, and Jimmy (Hendrix) in the comfort of their own home.

Rocker tees always make a statment, so when you’re getting your rock on with your top on, what brand best suits you? Here are a few totally awesome prints worthy of...

What is the Colour of the Wind?

Posted by Dalene on Thursday, March 4, 2010 In : Opinion

Any Disney fan would know that Pocahontas seems to know what the colour of the wind is. However, for those of us that aren’t moving 2D images, we have don’t see wind as having colour, unless you’re under the influence of narcotics.

Ask someone taking the ‘dye’ drug what colour they are and they’ll tell you that they are blue. Ask someone taking LSD what colour their submarine...

A Graphic Giggle

Posted by Dalene on Thursday, February 25, 2010

A generation of talented graphic designers and artists have created many an image accepted and loved by society. It is a new generation of designers and artists who have come along with the same appreciation for art, however, they view this art with a satirical eye, seeing potential in every piece. The Pieter Dirk Uys and Zapiro of the graphic parody world!

No work of art, no matter ...

If I were boss

Posted by Dalene on Thursday, February 25, 2010

I know what I would like to say. I know what you’d like to hear. I know that everyone’s inner child comes knocking when this question is posed. I want to say that if I was boss, I’d install free gumball machines around the office, and the common room would have a Nintendo Wii installed. I’d love to say that daily I would call random employees into my office to give them a cookie...
