Sounds like good, clean fun to me! I thought I’d take the liberty of drafting an FAQ section for MissTravel: Q: Gee, Miss Travel.com! Are you telling me that by joining your dating site I could find myself thousands of miles away from home on a luxury boat or perhaps a private island [isolated enough [...]
Sometimes we just want to get away from it all; make the great escape and reconnect with ourselves rather than our Facebook friends. But how far would go to get away from it all? Could you really switch off from the world? One woman did. And she found a few people to follow her too…. [...]
I often wonder how it’s possible to be both obsessed with things like puppies, french cheese, floral print vintage dresses AND zombies. (Still working on an explanation). So anyway, deep down, we all really want a zombie apocalypse to happen. Just for a day or something. You know, to put our zombie survival skills to [...]
… This is genius marketing. Pure genius.
In case you haven’t heard, a male member of Match.com recently woke up to his worst nightmare when an Excel spreadsheet he had made to ‘monitor’ the girls he was dating– went viral. I know, terrible thing to happen. Except, the thing is, genius actually sent the spreadsheet himself! To one of the girls he was dating!! [...]
I find it kind of fascinating to see the way men do the simplest of things; how they get on without a woman around. Not that men are in any way incapable of taking care of themselves– it’s just … different. I’ve come across this pleasing little video by Mr. Porter. They asked three well-travelled men [...]
Sorry to disappoint but there shall be no boobies in this post, although I did see more than my fair share of boobies this morning in my quest to find these vintage 50s & 60s playmate photos. If Playboy magazine still looked like this, I would probably subscribe. Look at these fabulous women … [...]
Hey there fellow text walker! We’re both part of an elite club of ass holes that text and walk at the same time. Some of our brethren have been making headlines recently for falling victim to the perils of text walking, such as this incident in Michigan when a woman walked off a pier and [...]
I found a very Hipster blog and I think it’s pretty genius. Hipsters have a knack for digging up old photos of screen icons and past legends, but this one has gone a step further and added a “get the look” shopping section for each retro photo. It’s called Nerd Boyfriend but we all know [...]
It made me tear up this one so get your hanky ready. There’s something about the innocence of this little kid, his proud and unassuming father, and the kindness of the guy who made this film that gets the tear ducts flowing. Faith in humanity restored. A beautiful little film. Social media is pretty awesome [...]
