I often look back at all the great people that once were. Their wisdom inspiring those who took the time to listen. They come from all walks of life: a politician; a nurse; a carpenter's son; an artist; a poet; and an uneducated daughter...these are just some that have been documented and only a fraction of what I stumbled upon.

Since the beginning of time there have been great…

This sturdy, vintage inspired piece of luggage would make any trip a stylish travel experience. Each piece is entirely hand-made using Vulcan fibre. What makes me truly appreciate these suitcases, is that they continue to be made in the same way since their invention in 1850. The original Victorian machinery is used to this day.…

Last night Lady Gaga on American Idol.

Lady Gaga greeted the American Idol's producers with her phallic heels. After their initial shock, and thoughts of the young audience that could be exposed to these outrageous heels, they reached a compromise with Gaga, covering them up with an Idols logo. These porno shoes cost around R30,000, yes thirty thousand Rands.…

How you know your jeans are perfect:

A: When you can button them with ease.

B: When you sit and there is no plumber in site...(see p.s. below)

C: After a meal they remain zipped and breathing is as it was before the burger.

D: When the low crotch new style jean still allows you to climb and…

May is my absolute favorite month of the year!! Not because its my beautiful son's birthday or that without fail there is always an amazing Greek concert at Emperor's Palace to quench my thirst for Greek music, but because....wait for it.... its Eurovision time!!!!

Every year without fail, (with the exception of the year that King Antonis Remos happened to be in South Africa), I gather anyone I can convince, to join me in watching this European tradition!!  My kids friends have been…

It's that time of the year again, when the French Riviera city of Cannes lights up with celebrity stars. Promoting their films and gracing the red carpet for the eleven day film festival. We highlight the looks that really impressed.

The Photos of Stephanie LaCava, were posted by Citizen Couture.

Shoelosophy notes: Kirkwood's trademark style always has a futuristic leaning, in this case Kirkwood has leant towards sophistication. The earthy colour and tassel ties gives this pair a balance of future and classic. The more I look at this pair, the more I like them. The tassel…

What is it about those brightly colored plastic blocks that always seems to conjure up fond memories of our childhood? Old Red Jalopy did an outstanding job of making them relevant by creating this summer's blockbuster movie posters all in Lego-style. They're so well done, they'll make you wish the movies were…

Hefner was gifted with an ironic stroke of fate when the original “Stag Club” name that was going to grace his new men’s magazine was legally blocked by Stag magazine. He needed a new handle, and the stag was soon converted to the now iconic bunny, one of the most renames in history.

In 1960, when the very first Playboy Club opened– the so-called icon of the sexual…

Maslow's Pyramid is a pretty accurate diagram of self discovery.  For me the only thing that’s missing is the importance of music.  He forgot to mention it in “Safety”, when a mother sings a lullaby to comfort a child. In “Love and Belonging” when a lover dedicates a song to express what he cannot. In “Esteem” when a song brings a smile to your day, and of course, in “Self Actualization” when the whole world vibrates in perfect harmony.…
