For those of you who loved Cadbury’s Gorilla video on YouTube, check out this sequel made by the same London ad agency, intruigingly named Eyebrows.
I think it’s just awesome. How cute is the balloon bit at the end?

On the topic of fake a*vertising, I’m working on a story at the moment for my magazine about ethics and a*vertising. It’s an interesting topic and I’m enjoying getting stuck into it. The three areas I’m focussing on are tobacco, gambling and politics.
I’m excited because this is the first story which I’ve pitched and been commissioned to [...]

Mia Freedman gets stuck into gossip magazines and the Sun Herald for pressuring women to lose weight after they’ve had a baby.

After a weekend of furious packing, moving and cleaning, we are finally settled into our new flat. Joy! As a bonus, my triceps and legs are feeling taut and terrific. Incidental exercise and a new place to live. God is good.

When the video was unmasked as an elaborate [...]

It has a arrived for your drinking pleasure.
Over the last 4 months or so, Mattt, guthers and myself have been working hard to become ‘less novice’ coffee roasters. It’s good fun. We think our beans are now at a quality that is worth sharing, and so we’ve set up a little shopfront where you [...]

The place charmed me and won me over, as only an inner west art-deco flat can. I was so in love that I didn’t see any of the problems.
Even though there were plenty.
First, we discovered the gas outlet was fixed on [...]
