Katy Perry Collection by OPI

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.

Eat Drink Tea(R) bioactive Pu'er essence is the world's most powerful antioxidants infused tea





Given the fast-paced lifestyle that everyone leads in today's society, it is not hard to understand why people neglect the art of tea drinking. Tea packets are often used as a substitute to reduce tea preparation time. But a recent discovery, however, has shown that there is a much better alternative to such tea packets.

Eat Drink Tea® bioactive Pu'er essence contains more flavour than any other normal tea bags and also saves preparation time. The essence contains organic tea leaves from the best tea trees in Yunnan's prehistoric forest. After filtering and purification, these tea leaves are then transformed into Pu'er essence. With both cooked and uncooked versions, Eat Drink Tea® bioactive Pu'er essence can be conveniently consumed with the simple addition of water.

The most unique factor present in this tea, however, is that it contains 63% polyphenols. Unlike most teas which usually contain 8% to 10%, Eat Drink Tea® bioactive Pu'er essence manages to preserve most of these polyphenols during the production process. Being the tea with the highest amount of antioxidants in the current market, research studies done have shown that the polyphenols present in the tea helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases and cancer. In addition, it serves as a healthier alternative to normal tea bags.

While this tea may seem to only attract a younger target market, renowned food critic Chua Lam also sings full praise for Eat Drink Tea® bioactive Pu'er essence. Chua Lam feels that this tea is much more convenient especially when one is travelling without warm water. Since it can be drunk by mixing it with mineral water, Chua Lam also recommends it for the coming Chinese New Year season as a complimentary drink with snacks.

Urban Outfitters

Urban Outfitters seems to be the ultimate hipster clothing store. Shop assistants look like they hang out at Lower East Side hipster haunt Cake Shop 24/7, the shop is subtly decorated with vintage furnishings, and there's always good indie music playing at a UO store, and the website even gives out mp3s for free download on their site.

So, it's no surprise that She & Him lent their little ditty "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here" to UO's Spring 2008 video catalogue.

Check it out below.

Comic Sans Criminal

We've all been there - whether conjuring digital images on Microsoft Paint, writing emails to long-lost friends or grinding out 50-page thesis papers (gasp!) - at one point or another, we've all been guilty of misusing the Comic Sans font.

Hence, some clever fella with Internet access saw opportunity in this global misjudgment epidemic, and created Comic Sans Criminal, a tongue-in-cheek guide to using the correct use of typography, and more specifically, Comic Sans.

It's cleverly designed, colourful and very well typographied (duh!). A short little exercise than is fun for all, even if you're too hooked on the font to change your ways.

Gaga loves meat

The VMAs have always been one of the wildest red carpets. After all, it's MTV, home of outrageous shows like Jackass and Wildboyz. There's nothing the MTV audience hasn't seen that will shock us into speechlessness. Or at least we thought so...

Cue Lady Gaga and her meat dress. Yep, a dress made entirely out of dinner, with a matching headpiece and twine-tied fillet-shoes as the icing on (beef)cake.

Then, Gaga went onstage to receive her award for Video of the Year, presented by Cher, who was dressed like, well, Cher, in her beaded black leather leotard and stockings. That was probably the only time in the history of the universe that a Cher outfit had been upstaged by another piece of clothing (if the meat dress even qualifies as apparel).

I'm not too sure what to think about Lady Gaga's new venture in fashion. She's always been crazy with her outfits, but nothing so edible before. I mean, this is crazy, right?

What do you guys think?

GQ "Rock The Suit”

It's not everyday that Andrew and Ben from MGMT suit up, but when they do work the snappy dressing, the duo clean up very very well.

GQ gathered some of the best and up-coming musicians now and ever. The National, The Walkmen, The Drums and the aforementioned MGMT all appear in GQ's "Rock the Suit", looking super duper dapper. Also in the spread, legendary legend (what other word is there?) David Byrne was in the company of two gorgeous ladies, posing with Santigold and St.Vincent for the magazine.
