Ok Mag has done a sexy photo shoot with the hottest male winter Olympians, and in true athlete style it's awkward as hell. Kinda cute and wholesome though. Perez has it here

The Olympics in general desperately need a new stylist and have done so pretty much since they did it in the nud back in Greece. Bring back those oily Greco-Roman days says me.

Coco for stylist London 2012!

M-Alice

I will try very hard to forget Depp's Chocolate Factory overacting, but assume I'm in for more of the same in the Alice remake. I'm sure it will still be amazing. Here are some of John Tenniel's original illustrations for the book that scared the bejaysus out of me as a child. dARK

ps - is chronic hollywood overuse ruining depp and carter for anyone else

NME

Club NME has finally made it's way downunder, and you'll see "Philadelphia Grand Jury, the Yacht Club DJs, Purple Sneakers DJs and legendary bassist for The Smiths, Andy Rourke (DJ set), on board the Club NME tour, which is set to make stops in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne." (Why write when you can cut/paste)

The Greatest Cereal on Earth?

All signs point to yes. In three weeks I have gone through 4 large boxes and I think about eating them in bed at night. And on the way to work. I once chewed so enthusiastically I got a sore jaw. They are like a mixture between prawn crackers and Coco Pops. But less chocolately. and more awesome.

Wild thing

Another day another fashion week, this time its London's turn. How Pixie Geldof passes for a model is beyond me. Ugly is the new black I guess? any way.. Top Shop's Unique collection has excited the animal lover, headwear enthusiast and lack of hygiene fan in me. Knitwear, layers, sock, gloves, t-shirts. The whole look was a bit bag lady in the woods which I totally dig, it just wasn't anything new or amazing, but it was the horns and animal heads stuffed into huge ratty hair that really tickled my fancy. Fact, fancy is one letter away from being fanny. I HATE washing or brushing my hair and will do anything to avoid it. I once didn't own a brush or comb for a few weeks and used a kitchen fork instead. So next time I leave the house with knotted bed hair I just need some part of a dead animal or even better an alive one peaking out of there and not only am I cutting edge, I'm avante garde. And mysterious. Like the homeless man that sits outside my house with a deep tan listening to a walkman. What's he listening to? Van Halen? The Bangles? Is that tan real and does he actively work on it? Is he a time traveller or some sort of wizard from 1986? We may never know

Vocab Flashback

Not! is a grammatical construction in the English language that became a sarcastic catchphrase in North America in the 1990s. A declarative statement is made, followed by a pause and then an emphatic "not!" is postfixed. The result is a negation of the original declarative statement. Popularized in North America in the 1990s by the Saturday Night Live skit and subsequent movie Wayne's World, it can be found earliest in print in an 1893 Princeton Tiger (March 30) 103: "An Historical Parallel-- Not." Most often used jocularly, but also be used to express annoyance, it was such a popular catch phrase that it was selected as the 1992 Word of the Year by the American Dialect Society.

1992 Word of the Year. Impressive

Film Review

Love The Beatles? And films? Then don't see Across the Universe its shithouse.

Ok, so I wrote off rock a long time ago when Nickelback and Matchbox 20 were filed under the catagory. A little too early it would seem. AC/DC last night shook me all night long and totally restored my faith in live music and showed Rock n Roll isn't dead, and neither is chicks on shoulders flashing titties. Last night Olympic Park was full of 80,000 hard living hard drinking scary as fuck bogans. More then I will ever likely or hopefully ever be around again. Me and my man wholikesothermen date tried to blend in with our xxxx schooners and tough attitudes but we were one as AC/DC belted out 2 hours of mind blowing totally awesome rock. I'm pretty sure Angus Young has some sort of mental disabilty, but dear lord can he play guitar. His 20 minute guitar solo is probably the greatest thing i've ever seen. One hand guitar on head riff with confetti raining on the crowd. As was bogan #67,235 being dragged out by police with no pants on. The music, the haircuts, the strong smell of urine, the fireworks. For those about to rock, we salute you.

Head On

The gorgeous Head On photography fest is to take place once more from April 29 to June 5. You know those big printed photo's they put up in Hyde Park? Yep, that's part of the Head On festival, but it is so much more than that. It's basically centered around 'the portrait', and invites all photographers to get involved. Here is some blurb from the Head On website. And if you're a photog yourself, note that entries are open NOW

'This photo festival is an exciting initiative involving galleries, restaurants and cafes around Sydney exhibiting local and international photography. Public galleries, including the Museum of Sydney and the Manly Art Gallery will be taking part, as well as a large number of commercial galleries.

Keeping the same philosophy as Head On Portrait Prize, the festival aims to attract a wide range of excellent photography from Australia and overseas that speaks for itself, regardless of whether the photographer is well known or not.

Centring on the flagship Head On Portrait Photography Prize, the festival will feature numerous events for anyone interested in photography. These will include a retrospective of Oculi - one of Australia’s top photojournalists’ collectives - and a retrospective of the late Rennie Ellis.'

Not my words. tickets are a steep $42-$48 so get saving.

Sale To Miss of The Week - Bassike

Australian label Bassike has a sale on this weekend in Surry Hills. The brand is famous for their organic jersey and cotton basics. I just checked it out and verdict is don't even bother. Nothing is under $50, everything is creased, there are more skinny jeaned long hair scenesters than a Midnight Juggernaughts gig (P.S Sydney dudes, skinny leg jeans along with pointy shoes belong back in 2007, with Midnight Juggernaughts success) and more shades of army green then they human eye or mind can comprehend.

Cupid Ain't So Stupid

So after dissing Valentines Day and complaining and being all man hatin', I totally forgot that V day wasn't all failure. Yes I had a delightful smoothie in the rain with my better half, bought a totally fabulous gaudy gold House of Baulch chain and drunk beers while spying on a disevelled Sam Worthington. But cupid DID strike! and in my jadedness I didn't realise till the rain cleared. I feel in love with a gentleman by the name of Jeffrey Campbell. His catalogue laying forgotton and unloved on a overpriced boutique floor. Shoes is his game. His style is the chunky/booty/wedge/peeptoe amazingness that I am totally in love with. Be still my beating heart and throbbing cankles.. The best bit is they are all under $200. They are available here and if your order is over $200 international shipping is free!! FREEEEE! Did I say free? Excited.
