Has the milk gone sour?
The Vampire Diaries has returned in its third season with a second episode called “the Hybrid”, and even though (of course) i loved seeing Jeremy’s cute new haircut the episode, I felt that the show had a weaker opening than Season 2. And here’s why:
1. The Dynamics are EXACTLY the same as ever
This week’s episode saw Elena putting her life on the line to save...

RIP Aunt Jenna...
I hardly ever use this blog anymore, but hey, I might start again!
To wrap up a very distressing Friday, what with the chaos in the sewing room (trying to get a glimpse of Donna’s demonstration amongst an eager pile of first years) and the general bleakness of 3 assignments due in the next week and none finished, I took a few hours off to remind myself I’m human by watching the latest...

Once you’ve “made” it, you can change settings in Blend Options.
Can use a direct selection tool, pen tool to add anchor points which you can then manipulate.
At any stage you can go back to your blend options to change the number of shapes and even release the blend.

The Girls have gone wild... and the boys too!
Yesterday, I had the privilege to represent mecho in reviewing the work of quite a few memorable clothing labels associated with BAM Brands—an international brand management firm that recognizes emerging fashion talent and fresh ideas across the world. The intimate view-by-appointment showcase of the upcoming Autumn 2011 collections was held at the Boutwell Draper Gallery in Redfern—a venue as...
Sexy Chick Wings!
It’s that time of the year again, when the US lingerie giant Victoria’s Secret launches its annual stripper parade runway show that stars all of the world’s most famous, sexy, high-profile supermodels, hopping down a glittery runway and pass of air-kisses as poses.
NO, it’s not a real fashion show. Not since 2002. But that’s part of VS’s appeal- the ridiculous...
The power of hot female legs
After watching the Vampire Diaries again last night and seeing Katherine Pierce’s endless legs, I thought I’d dedicate a post to honour the best and worst leg moments in the 21st Century!
“A girl’s legs are her best friend, but the best of friends must part.”— Redd Foxx
“Legs are sexy because they suspensefully lead up to the p***y.”— my...
C'mon, move that bootie!
The warmth in summer means that rising hemlines will make it easier to make a statement with your shoes. So why not turn up the drama with some sexy short boots and enjoy some male attention to your legs?
In the top row, Christian Louboutin (Top left), Alexander McQueen (Top Centre) and Giuseppe Zanotti (Top right) pushed for tough, utilitarian styles with bold zips, military-style lacing and...
Scandalous Sandals!
It’s officially sunny again! So put away those smelley uggs you’ve worn all winter and show some leg, honey.
It’s my personal belief that strappy sandals with heels are the best way to keep your feet cool and still stay sexy and strong. Invest in the right pair and you’ll find that your entire look can be elevated to look like the pages of Vogue rather than Seventeen. They...

Gossip Girl S4E7: The Stylist is officially BLIND!
Continuing my half-a-star review of this week’s episode of Gossip Girl, I wanted to dissect the hideously boring fashion in “War at the Roses” from the best to the worst.
1. Chuck at Blair’s Party
Dear Stylists: I see a tinge of creativity in this unusual suit ensemble. Chuck is sadly, the ONLY character who knows how to accessorise and use colour to make a statement....
Gossip Girl S4E7: A Painful wait for a Painful...
I’m sure that when I ask people, “did you watch Gossip Girl last night?” every week, millions of hearts in the room not so secretly flutter.
Because regardless of our genders, occupations, sexual preferences and income levels, we all wish we could be as powerful, sexy, and spoiled as blue-blooded Blair Waldorf, walking all over the rest of the New York elite in Louboutins.
But...
