Come on straight-haired boys – break out a bit!
On our little trip to South East Asia, one thing that suprised us was how un-visionary so many of our straight-haired brothers are here in SA when it comes to hairdo’s. There is no longer an excuse really – the cultural embargo ended a long time ago and we have many sources from where to gain inspiration. We’re tired of the same old safe short back and sides, chinos and suits. This wee…k we encourage all straight-haired men to break out a bit and explore some funky hair-styles. This one is a typical one as seen in South East Asia – our model Ming just added some colour to give it his own twist… come on ou’s – let’s get the hairdo revolution started – we’re tired of the conservative...
GreenPeace goes VIRTUAL – make your mark online
Are you a tree hugger or a collector of Dolphin memorabalia…? Well it doesn’t matter if you are or aren’t – Greenpeace needs as much support as it can to SAVE THE WHALES and it doesn’t matter if you can’t make the boat either – they have a new innovative concept in PROTESTING – A Virtual March! All you have to do is place your photo on the site and your voice is… heard… I mean seen…...well…COUNTED. All the images will then be projected onto buildings at the march, making a virtual crowd – BRILLIANT. Lee, our resident ECO WARRIOR spreads the word: Despite an international moratorium on whaling, thousands of whales will be hunted this year due to a loophole in the provisions of the ban. In addition, the Japanese and Korean governments are aggressively campaigning to lift the ban on commercial whaling. Many whale species are endangered and hunting methods are exceptionally cruel, so the international environmental movement wants to ensure that this doesn’t happen. Greenpeace has developed a new concept to ensure that the voices of ordinary people are felt in international matters such as these. It is organizing a massive “virtual” photo protest against the lifting on the ban on whaling, the first of its kind. The idea is that thousands of photographs of people from all over the world will be projected onto the front of the building where delegates from hundreds of governments will meet on June 20 to decide whether or not to lift the ban. The meeting will be in Ulsan, South Korea. I’ve sent my picture to Greenpeace to add my voice to the No Whaling Virtual March and I’m asking you to do the same. It just takes a minute and the more pictures we have, the better the chances are that the ban will stay in place. On the first day of this campaign, over a thousand people uploaded their photographs onto the site and more are being added all the time. To upload your picture, go to http://whales.greenpeace.org and follow the easy steps. If you don’t have a digital camera, just send an existing photograph, preferably with a slogan chosen from the Greenpeace site typed onto it as a title....
