So while the whole world goes crazy with World Cup fever, I will quite happily admit that it doesn’t necessarily float my boat. Call me a killjoy but the incessant Facebook and Twitter updates that clog up my feed by revealing every play (mind you, from people who don’t usually follow the football), the riot [...]

This delightful video of a young man who is unable to locate his flip-flops on account of his being completely and utterly WASTED at last weekend’s Coachella has been doing the rounds. This drunken mess seems to have some serious depth perception issues, which all in all, makes for some truly cringe-worthy comedy. Watch it here: [...]

As the days heat up (in the southern hemisphere) and the calendar becomes more jam-packed it’s a sure-fire way of knowing that the onslaught of summer festivals is about to begin. In Australia, first up is Stereosonic, which recently attracted media attention when they banned shirtless men from attending the event in a move to make the [...]

A nightclub promoter is enforcing a strict dress code in an attempt to rid violence and dance floor melees. The promoter of Dorcia, a night at Melbourne’s Ding Dong says that their policy will eradicate the “sports jock mentality” that can be found at many club nights. There have been cries of outrage saying that the [...]

The big race has arrived: it’s the Melbourne Cup Carnival and we have our I Do Believe I Came with a Hat correspondents roaming the grounds of Flemington Racecourse to capture the crimes against fashion and good behaviour. We’ll be posting a live feed* of the worst offenders, so be sure to check back for [...]

On the eve of the Melbourne Spring Racing Carnival/carnage I was hoping to write a longer feature on the Dos and Don’ts of the horse racing season. However, my brief sojourn in hospital and severed right arm have precluded from me from doing so. Instead, I present Tramp Bingo: a game you can play with [...]

Last night was the premiere episode of the second season of Aussie Ladette to Lady; or quite simply, the best reality show ever invented. For the uninitiated, eight incredibly uncouth, brash and despicable young women, or ‘ladettes’ to which they are referred, descend upon a British finishing school to be whipped into shape by the militant [...]

Maybe it’s a particularly British notion, however, speaking from experience the discussion of money and all things fiscally associated (unless in a business context) is exceptionally vulgar. Being discreet about your wealth (or lack thereof) makes for a more rounded individual, creates a little intrigue and generally prevents jealously or repulsion from other parties. Sure, [...]

Okay, so The Nanny happens to be my favourite television show of all time and I still reference Grandma Yetta Rosenberg’s wardrobe before planning my outfit for a night on the tiles, however, an issue too startling has come to my attention: pet intimacy. Recently, Fran Drescher posted a video on her YouTube channel informing her subscribers of [...]

During a recent performance of the Broadway play, A Steady Rain starring Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig, an audience member’s mobile phone rang in the middle of dialogue, disrupting the performance to the clear chagrin of both the audience and the performers. It goes without saying that the audience member was clearly in the wrong, [...]
