It Was Only a Matter of Time... the Moustache Mask

A few years back pirates were all the rage - no doubt thanks to Johnny Depp and 'Talk Like a Pirate Day'. Penguins soon found stardom... we'll blame it on Happy Feet. Ice Cream soon took centre stage thanks to artists like Muscles and labels like Vanguard. Then last year things got even funnier when the moustache reigned as the king of cool.

People tattooed them on their fingers, girls drew on fake ones and ponytails doubled as them in indie-style photos.

So it comes as no surprise that American Apparel has released the Moustache Mask - this winter's ultimate fashion accessory.

High Five

For Color Me Katie's (blog) Improv Everywhere mission, their friend Rob gave out over 2,000 high fives by standing next to a subway escalator during the morning rush.

Five additional people spread out along the adjacent stairs, holding signs to prepare commuters for high five fun!

What a way to brighten people's day.

Isn't she lovely...

Some days we breathe the dream of every young filly with a passion for fashion and all things pretty - to run away to Paris, sip red wine, adhere to Vogue as if it's the Bible, wander aimlessly through the streets, and fall madly in love. Like us, people covet this faraway land, thinking it represents a romance and beauty that cannot be found in Australia. Then occassionally we stumble across something that glimmers like a gem of hope - This week hope lies with Kelly Smith's Birdy & Me collection.
