I Dare You to NOT Feel Something

Sometimes the advertising we see on a day to day basis can really make you mad. It is irritating, blunt (in the worst possible way), badly written and badly art-directed. Basically, you either switch the radio/tv channel, flip the page, or roll your eyes.

And then there are adverts like this that shake your core a little...
Try not to feel something.




I found it on copyranter.

Food, Wine, Design- Divine

Did you go to the Food, Wine and Design fair?
I spotted it on a few blogs last week, and thought it looked quite interesting.
Luckily, the rest of my office also thought it looked cool so we made it into an Office Field Trip.

Here are some of the things I liked, tried, bought, snapped, tasted. :)
Click on the pics for more info on each product.

Idiom -Wines of Character. Our first stop!

The sunny eating, drinking, resting area.

The other resting area.

toni glass tea. I bought the Taste the Tropics flavour. Yum!

the awesome JHB building legs for the table above

There were a few other shops I liked, and tried, but didn't have hands or camera stability (there was a lot of wine, ok!) to snap, like Pesto Princess, Salvation Cafe, Missibaba and an amazing olive stand whose name I have forgotten, but whose Tangy Olives I have at home. 

Mostly, I just wondered around in awe at the incredible creativity on display, feeling like I was meeting celebrities after seeing all these products on the blogosphere for so long, and, while I didn't manage to do any productive Christmas shopping, I did manage to get a few snacks. 

SO, I went back on Saturday for more!

Yip, this just happened

Wear Black

There is always one fool who wants to help the cause, but looks at the pile of black laundry and thinks, "Meh, I'll do it tomorrow."

Yip, today, that fool is me. And I didn't even think to wear navy blue, or gray. No no no, I wore white.

So to make up for it, and to try co-ordinate with the black bow on my shoes, I am going to carry my laptop bag around ALL DAY, possible attaching it to my chest so I can use these arms for doodling, tea drinking and other Extremely Important Things.

Wear black today people! Even if it is just a little.

P.s. We're protesting to protect Media Freedom... In case you were confused.
