Spectacular Maldives Hotel



Sleeping underwater amongst marine life is something many of us could only dream about. For some lucky travelers, this dream has now turned into a reality. 



To celebrate their anniversary, the restaurant offered guests the chance to not only eat under the sea, but sleep under it as well. The 12-seat restaurant, which sits 16 feet below sea level of the Indian Ocean, was…

So You Wanna Hire a Millennial?- Fluxtrends Presentation

Last night I was fortunate enough to attend a Flux Trends presentation, by Dion Chang, at the I-Store headquarters in Sandton.  The presentation was started off with a startling statement by Dion, "the millennial will change jobs 29 times in his/her career, working out to a new job every 18 months."

The presentation provided valuable insights for companies who are either dealing with the different mindsets their young employees have or are bracing themselves for the next generation…

In this day and age, if you're selling a product, it's unbelievably difficult to stand out from the crowd. So what's a company to do? You can spend a lot of money and see if something sticks or you can work with some highly creative people to see what they can do.



Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg, the duo behind those beautiful…

Kate Moss-Wedding

             Kate Moss in John Galliano with Jamie Hince in YSL.

As expected, Kate's bias cut slip dress is signature Galliano and totally Moss-like. It's slinky, vintage-inspired and heavily embellished with sparkling details that collect at the ruffled hemline. The sheer material shows a sexy-but-subtle flash of leg while the veil floats down…

Kate Moss has never been one to follow rules and yesterday was no exception when she ignored the ban - and No Smoking Day - and lit up on the catwalk.

Walking for Louis Vuitton at Paris Fashion Week, Kate indulged her bad habit and proved she's still got it in a pair of tight hot pants and bondage-style lace-up boots.

Moss, who…

Fictional Cape Town

"Cape Town has a surprisingly large film industry," says Cecila Mella on her website. "It’s not like Bollywood or Nollywood (Nigeria), where homegrown feature-stories dominate. Most shoots are in fact advertisements for foreign companies selling everything from chewing gum to yoghurt (the favourable exchange rate and sunny climate make it worth the long trip to the tip of Africa). What is…

Expansion-Sculpture

                  Expansion by Paige Bradley

"From the moment we are born,the world tends to have a container already built for us to fit inside: A social security number, a gender, a race, a profession or an I.Q. I ponder if we are more defined by the container we are in, rather than what we are inside. Would we recognize ourselves if we…

Get A Life. Buy My Porsche

One of the most creative classified ads I have ever seen. This video became a hit on-line, brainchild of Peter Bohus. "I was expecting some hype but not to this overwhelming extent in such a short period of time," he shares. "It's quite tiring to reply all kinds of inquiries and praises. On a more serious note, I feel like I could be doing this for a living now."

Bohus worked as a…

Unusual Portraits

I have chosen 20 portraits that really stood out to me for their originality and creativity. What these artists have done is take everyday materials like screws, maps, CDs or junk mail and turn them into incredibly cool and unusual works of art. We appreciate these artists not just for their unique style but also because we know that it takes a seemingly endless amount of time and patience to create… Continue
