As if the Internet wasn’t already ablaze with talk of Tupac Shakur’s holographic resurrection (gotta love an estate prepared to pimp out their deceased loved ones) at Coachella, 90s hiphop hype is at fever pitch. But what about poor old Snoop? His co-performance of the egregiously-spelt ”2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted” (Though, this came from a [...]

A little-known fact: The Nutcracker wasn’t named after a dancing toy soldier who can free a brazil nut from its hard shell and leap through the air in a camp Christmassy dance production; no, it was named after the solid, muscular posteriors of ballet dancers who can free nuts and  sundry using their tight-as-Spandex rumps. I [...]

For lovers like passing ships in the night, or those who opt for the more clandestine of meet-ups in a room no bigger than a broom cupboard 30,000 feet in the sky, then this is your saviour. We Met on a Plane is the aviation industry’s answer to finding that one who caught your eye in your [...]

When I received the call from AFL Headquarters, at 12:41pm asking me to bake meatloaf for 30 journalists the following day, I asked, “When and how many?” The magic number was eight (kilograms, that is), and off I minced in search of mince.

It’s their night of nights and a great spectacle for those who line Oxford Street to gawp and gaze at leather-clad muscle-bound men and tattooed and pierced short-haired ladies; it’s the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. Flesh is the one the prevalent accessory, and while we wouldn’t normally recommend such a public display neither [...]

Death, by default is the [...]

So those burly and brawny men are about to run around the football field and best of all, there are going to be some incredibly expensive ads. That’s right: this weekend it’s Super Bowl Sunday! While bringing glamour to football is a challenge, here are a few speaking points to enable you to blend in while [...]

In an age of digital gift giving, sending an electronic gift has the ability to feel intangible and impersonal—kinda of like a visit to the proctologist without the aid of at least a water-based lubricant. An email or a gift voucher code just doesn’t have the same cachet or mystique of a gift-wrapped box topped [...]

The most civilised of summer sports is croquet, which, incidentally, is yet to be desecrated by hipsters then bogans respectively for sheer impracticality of carting metal hoops around on a fixie and planting them into the halfpipe at a local skate park. That and the lack of cheap and subsidised beer à la a bowls [...]
