Fashion is something that can’t defend itself. When somebody out there commits crimes against fashion there’s no investigation, no justice and certainly nobody out there defending fashion’s rights. Over the years Brynne Edelsten has brought us some of the most horrendous crimes against fashion ever heard of. Like a bull rampaging up and down a [...]
If you appeared on Australian television with a mountain of unbelievable claims, spent the next few months watching these claims unravel one by one as they were publicly debunked and then found yourself exposed online and then on national television, what would your natural reaction be? I’d imagine you’d probably accept that you were caught [...]
A few days ago I wrote about Taiwanese girls and lensless glasses, one of the biggest fashion crimes I’ve seen in Taiwan so far. After reading the write up reader Yi left a comment suggesting that perhaps the reason Taiwanese girls were flocking to lensless glasses was for the same reason girls were ‘getting bracers [...]
I’d had the same bank account in Australia for donkey’s years and subsequently both my bank account and ATM card pin numbers were burned into my memory. When I came to Taiwan I had to apply for a new bank account and along with that came a brand new pin number. Ohoh. My new pin [...]
I’ve kind of given up trying to rationalise the fashion sense of girls in Taiwan. Part of me absolutely loves some of the outfits they come up with but then there’s the cringe worthy stuff too. Don’t get me wrong, the girls are still hot it’s just they appear to have no idea what works [...]
There’s a pretty big stereotype in third world countries regarding people just going to the toilet anywhere they can. To be fair, I kind of understand it. A lot of these places are underdeveloped and unless you’re in a touristy location, public toilets are non-existent. Meanwhile you’re absolutely busting and miles away from home. Sure [...]
A Russian court in Sergut, Eastern Siberia has today ruled that Scientology books and recordings authored by L. Ron Hubbard have “have been found extremist and will be banned from distribution in Russia“. To me this ban seems a little strange. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no fan of Scient0logy but I can’t decide what [...]
On one side of Islam you have peaceful, patient and rational Muslims like Gad Amr. On the other, you have crazies like the people over at Revolution Muslim. Last week’s South Park episode was a 200th blockbuster that featured a mish mash of some of the more prominent storylines that have appeared on the show. [...]
I’ve stayed in quite a few hotels since coming to Taiwan. I’ve avoided the typical 5 star catering for homesick tourist type ones mostly due to seeing it as a waste of money but have seen my share of good to bad. Well at least I thought I had. What I thought was bad when [...]
It was late last night when I spotted a story on Victoria Police confirming that they’d fronted $8000 in taxpayers money in school fees for Carl William’s daughter. Not really fussed about it, it was still a little intriguing to read that nobody was prepared to give up any information as to why. Williams was [...]
