After a good 6 months of inactivity by the one and only, he has returned with a vengeance.

Without further ado...

Skanks-a-plenty!

The weekend is upon us, and its time for another round of the 'skanks-a-plenty' shot!

What is this 'skanks-a-plenty' shot, and where can I get it?

Well, lets start of with what is in the content of this deadly and in high supply (but possibly not demanded), shot.

From top-down:

1. It contains a crazy concoction of chemicals, otherwise known as 'make-up'.

2. An eye-catching/piercing evolution of what is known as a 'dress' - or lack of a dress...

3. A very angular, unstable piece of equipment, more commonly known as 'stilettos a.k.a. high heels' - with a twist; ridiculously fat sole and high arching pair of stilettos.

Now to where this shot can be found.

As the clock strikes 5pm on a Friday evening, you will be able to see spicks and specks of this shot being supplied along George St and its adjacent watering-holes during the period happily known as...'happy hour'.

As the evening, leading to night progresses, more and more of these shots appear out of nowhere, unrequested but happily provided by Mr Justin Hemmes.

Now to the effect of this shot.

A night to forget.

halfbaked idea no.1

For the people who do not know the new season of Entourage is out...well its out.
*Spoiler alert* Turtle is now working, or to be more precise he is his own boss.

What is his business?
Well, it is essentially a 'Limousine service' with a, twist.
A rather nice twist.
Hot women drivers.


This got me thinking a bit.

I have been told that I am very good at cleaning, but more appropriately I have been known to disappear from the world due to my cleaning commitments.

Therefore, putting my cleaning prowess to one side, so that the world can see me, plus adding the ingenious of turtle's business plan together, I think I should start a cleaning service.

The twist?

With hot women cleaners.

Just like this video:

the crib (minus many things)

dudes and dudelettes (i really hate these words)

its time to display some of my possessions.

Two Words : Mad Men

While Australians are meant to be 'moving forward', i propose a mind blowing proposition...maybe its time to 'move backwards'?

It time for a time-warp. A time warp back into the 60's. A time where men are king, women were...a rank below.

Let the riot of the advertising business begin! (Without the need of Wil Anderson)

the highly anticipated post

Rumours a plenty this week folks! With the finale of the World Cup upon us in a day, Mad Men returning in just over 2 weeks (i only wish there would be a 3D version), and the apparent partay of the year that was planned 3 months ahead by the one and only benis - the question beckons, what would be worthy of your literacy sensation mention?

I shall begin the quest to answer this by a modern day riddle:

Sup Ya'll?!?!
ZOMG!! he not just do that!!!!
That's an EPICCCCCCCCCCC FAIL!!!
LOL!!
Where's all the peeps at?!
Say whaT?!Doooooood, TMI!
KTHNXBYE!
TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODS!!!!

Solved the riddle?

Clue 1, this is definitely not something Don Draper would say to Betty Draper.
Clue 2, there would be no such niceties between Mr. Sneijder, Van Persie and Robben.

Henri Cartier-Bresson

So apparently I have some followers on this blog. Kudos to them for having good taste.
To thank the loyal fan base, I would like to introduce you to one of my favourite photo of all time by Henri Cartier-Bresson. (PARIS—Brasserie Lipp on St.-Germain-des-Prés, 1969. © Henri Cartier-Bresson / Magnum Photos)

She's effortlessly chic in only the way stylish girls can pull off, thoughtful and with those slightly splayed legs, just naughty enough to keep our eyes glued. And we're right with her in ignoring the scolding disapproval of her neighbor. Scold, on, lady. This girl's with us. In our dreams.

inside scoop.

Watch this space. The most awesomeness triple team photo blog is on its way. Can't reveal identities of secret photographers, however I can provide three clues:

1. This person is knighted.
2. This person really enjoys breakfast.
3. This person is a world renowned traveller.

One common trait between them all - part of team awesomeness.

list 1: most awesomeness tv shows.

With the growing popularity of people watching TV shows from downloads or streaming sites, and request from friends on what shows to watch, I have decided to compile a list of TV shows that deserves the claim to be on the most awesomeness list.

Dramas:
1. Mad Men - simply the best. + January Jones, life can't get any better.
2. Friday Night Lights - Texas, football, high school. Epic.
3. The Wire - Baltimore, drug dealers, its true.
4. Justified - an US Marshall with a Kentucky accent + shooting people. Not your typical drama.

Comedies:
1. Arrested Development - if you do not enjoy this comedy, comedy is not your thing.
2. Curb Your Enthusiasm - Two words, Larry David.
3. Community - Best duo ever, Troy and Abed(watch ending credits).
4. Modern Family - Best children actors period, even Lily.
5. The Office (US) - all I need is one awesome line from Michael or Dwight each episode and I'm satisfied.

Notable Omissions:
The Sopranos - I need to watch it all.
30 Rock - less guest appearance please! Unless its Elizabeth Banks or Jon Hamm.
In Treatment - Ridiculously intense, and this is 3 episodes into the whole series. Can't wait to watch more.
Scrubs - Love it, yet not compelled to put it on the list...

I will try to post photos of my favourite scenes/characters of these shows later.

lack of umbrella etiquette.

Rain. I like rain. I like it when girls dress really nice to complement the rainy weather. I dig it if they have nice stylish gumboots, but nothing too splashy (sorry about the pun, but its true). But I am not a fan of the lack of umbrella etiquette people tend to have, and I must say women are the biggest culprit - definitely not awesomeness. Please don't use those cheap little brollis with sharp metal bits sticking out. It is hard enough to maneuver and weave in and out of the city rush, but add a brolli to your possession when it is raining, it is a weapon of mass destruction to our suits and more importantly our eyes.

Girls, in particular short girls, please don't use a brolli when it is clearly not raining, it is not a good look, and you are not awesome. Your hair won't get wet, likewise with your makeup, blouse, shirt, dress, stockings. Instead use it as a walking companion (wooden handle umbrella preferably), now that is an awesome look.

accessory awesomeness.

Boredom at work can lead to a whole host of randomness. Such as this lil beauty. I know girls have their obsession with bags, but I have a new obsession to the accessory to these bags. With photos like these, I'm rooting for this company (jenny was here) to continue rocking some new lookbooks, especially summer 10.

stumbling onto a console.

Continuing on the awesome theme, I have stumbled upon (literally, thanks to stumbleupon add-on for Firefox) to consellection. A site that shows all the consoles that have ever graced the face of earth.

Those who loved gaming, and even those who did not (but watched others play) will surely enjoy or have memories of the amount of hours spent sitting infront of the TV, button bashing the controller (or watching others whilst eating).

Side note - a Pokemon N64? wtf?!

who oozes awesomeness?

The current executive creative director of J.Crew Mr. Drexler is literally in one word, awesome. With his leadership and direction, he has managed to make J.Crew an awesome place to shop. WSJ mag has a feature on him.

Just look at that image - riding his bike around the office + a Gary Fisher Simple City bike - awesomeness.

N.B. I have J.Crew clothes and personally ride a Gary Fisher Simple City bicycle - therefore I am like Mr Drexler, awesomeness.
