Flashmob of 200+ dance to Lady Gaga at Sydney’s Town Hall

'Little Monsters'

A ‘Project Dance’ flashmob of 200+ dancers appeared at the steps of Sydney Town Hall yesterday to pay homage to Lady Gaga and rehearse a Guinness Book of World Record attempt for the largest number of people singing and dancing to Lady Gagas hit track ‘Born The Way’.

Although the official world record attmpt will be made in September at The Australian Dance Festival the performers ranging between the ages of 4-25 hope to surprise Lady Gaga with the spectacle!

The festivals patron Jason Coleman  thought ‘Born This Way’ was a fitting  way to celebrate Lady Gaga’s arrival into Sydney for her Monster Tour and to promote The Australian Dance Festival‘s charity ‘The Butterfly Foundation’ as the song praises the diversity, and loving the body you were born with.

The 200+ ‘little monsters’ definatley caught the attention of Sydney being featured on Sunrise, The Morning Show, Channel 10 news and on the Daily Telegraph and 2dayfm website.

See for yourself…

Croquembouche Masterclass at Patisse

We FINALLY decided to try out Patisse’s infamous cooking classes on Tuesday evening! we walked in bright eyed and bushy tailed keen to learn ‘The Art of Pastry’ from none other than pastry chef Vincent Gadan.

Choux Pastry

Croquembouche consists of making choux pastry and piping 50 choux balls. You then make the creme patissiere and fill each ball. Then the tedious task of dipping each ball into VERY hot caramel toffee without burning your fingertips! Then the assembly of the tower and finished off with you own decoration.

Piped Choux Balls

Vincent is very charismatic and likeable and made the whole cooking experience easy and enjoyable

When you get to a certain age you look in the mirror and think wow gee look at those lines, don’t they age my face maybe i should invest in some botox!

Well my friends, im here to tell you to go against the botox unless you want to end up looking like THIS…

Well you might not look like this after one treatment, but Nicole (scary botox face) Kidman is a good example of way too much botox and how stiff and bat like you can look after countless botox injecting. My point is you don’t want to look like this… or end up ADDICTED, broke and having to attend botox anonymous once a week.

If you have a few lines and wrinkles here and there (i like to call it character) the best treatment is an eye serum! We recommend the Vitamin C Serum Eye by EmerginC to combat those fine lines & wrinkles and guess what? you will still be able to move your face!! woo hoo!

Introducing you to the newest and coolest tee brand to hit the market Folklands, the brainchild of Sydney based artist and hipster John Papagianopoulos. John started the label simply as a means to release creative energy and after some convincing from his friends decided to take the plunge into the design world. and luckily for us he did!

http://folklandsthelabel.com/home.html

Folklands debut collection is inspired by Tribal/Aztec designs and is titled ‘Speed Of Life’.

John’s frustration at the abundance of mass produced, screen printed tees that are in your face 24/7 is what pushed him to start Folklands and bring the love back into the humble T-shirt. Every Folklands Tee is handmade, hand drawn and designed by John himself and is limited to only 111 prints. John explains “The end creation is a unique garment, never truly identical to the other”.

Every Tee is made to order and all you have to do is visit the site, place your order, have a cup of tea and in no time your very own custom made Folklands will be at your doorstep.. or in your mail box.. or at the post office..
