Eat Drink Tea Bioactive Puer Essence

The Volkswagen XL1 Concept is the car of the future. It looks futuristic enough, with its lack of a rear view mirror and sleeky design, complete with hidden rear wheels. Heck, it even looks like the Jetsons' family car. But what truly makes it the car of the future isn't its fancy gulf wing doors or Bugatti-like body kit. What makes it the car of the future is its outrageously green mileage. With just 0.9 litres of diesel, the machine will take you a whole 100 kilometres. That's about 10 times the average car.

Remember that song that goes "girls don't like boys/ girls like cars and money"? Well usually this isn't true. Usually... This might be an exception though; sexy, functional and environmentally-friendly.

Tomorrow will be the first anniversary of Lee McQueen's tragic passing. Fashion house Alexander McQueen's driving force was a visionary and his bold designs drew the likes of Hollywood and beyond.

So as a little tribute to the designer, here's a snippet of To Lee, With Love, Nick, a short film by photographer Nick Knight, featuring Bjork.

La Blogotheque

If you're stuck on indie music, then you probably worship La Blogotheque. The French site and main man Vincent Moon have revolutionized the idea of the music video, by bringing bands into the streets and out of their comfort zones for stripped down performances, all caught by the La Blogotheque team's talented bunch of sound and camera folk.

One of their recent features is Southern California band Local Natives.

A bunch of good-looking guys, sleek camera work, amazing music and a stunning view of the streets of Paris; what more could you ask for?

2011 Superbowl Ads

09:34 Reporter: bloggergeek 0 Responses

The Superbowl was this past weekend, and although Green Bay brought home the gold, there's a wealth of laughs in the Superbowl commercials.

These 30 second to a minute spots sell for at least US$ 3 million, but regulars like Doritos, Budweiser and E-Trade come back every year with bigger and better ads aimed at your funny bone, and commercial time during the big game has become the Holy Grail of comedic and marketing genius.

My favourite this year is Volkswagen's Darth Vader commercial.

Spoiler alert! The idea is simple: kid dressed as Darth Vader tries out 'the force' but can't seem to work his jedi powers. Dad comes home in the new Volkswagen Passat, and just for kicks, humours the kid, who can't believe that he just used his mind to power the Passat. It's great; very very funny.

Lanvin puts a modern twist on the cowboy look in their latest Fall/Winter collection. Wide-brimmed hats, interesting outerwear and turtlenecks worn under collared shirts all contribute to the 'wild wild west' feel of the collection, and intricate tailoring is perfectly paired with rugged elements like boots and leather gloves for the sexy, dangerous James Bond vibe.

Despite having undergone balloon angioplasty surgery recently, Chua Lam maintains that his diet will still remain the same. This is especially so given the coming of Chinese New Year.

According to Chua Lam, the only way to consume oily food healthily is to drink highly concentrated Pu'er tea concurrently. And for this, he recommends Eat Drink Tea^® bioactive Pu'er essence. With eight times more polyphenols than normal Pu'er tea, Eat Drink Tea^® bioactive Pu'er essence is healthier. The maintaining of healthy eating habits will also not be difficult with this convenient packaging.

Given this brilliant solution to easing and neutralizing oil consumption, Chua Lam can now continue with his eating habits. The renowned food critic, whom from young had developed the habit of cooking with pork lard has been advocating the " eoirh" theory, when translated means tasty pig oil.

He also joked that in the heart of every food enthusiast, there is a piece of lard. Moreover with the coming Chinese New Year, there will be no lack of pork lard since it symbolizes a good start.

Even though his friends have fervently urged him to cut down on pork lard, Chua Lam says that there will definitely be a high level of difficulty.

Part of every girl's Teenage Dream is to always have a great manicure. Having pretty fingers makes us feel like Fireworks and although we might be stuck at work, one glance at our nails and it's almost like we are California Girls Waking Up in Vegas.

Her five-colour collection is exactly what you'd expect from the vivacious singer, who's known to heat up the red carpet with outrageous outfits covered in anything from sequins to feathers to lace.

Teenage Dream is a bright glittery pink, sure to match your cherry chapstick, Not Like the Movies is an alluring silver, and Last Friday Night is an electric blue with electrifying glitter. There's also The One That Got Away, which is a dark magenta, perfect for those dress-up nights, and Black Shatter, a revolutionary new top coat that creates a cracked pattern resembling a wild leopard print.
