The Adelaide Fringe 2011

September 30th 2010 06:17
Original Creative Writing:  
Last year a guy with bad hair, a jar of olives and an office chair came to the Adelaide Fringe. He did some stuff on stage that was often hilarious, a bit confronting and sometimes just confusing.

That guy was visual and surreal comedy absurdist Dr Brown and his super low budget, super high imagination shows sold out throughout the festival.

Backstage at CIBELES MADRID FASHION

September 30th 2010 02:53
Original Creative Writing:  
Madrid Fashion Week is going great - some amazing style on the cat walk, and here are a couple of backstage shots with some very nice work being worn by some of the top models on show. Check out more at the links here or click on the images.

Have not seen corsets like these for some time, unless worn on stage by pop divas, or in legitimate historical theatre and film. They do not look as harsh and difficult to wear as the bad old days - actually if you are interested in the move towards this type of stuff a great place to go and look is the V&A Museum website. I have embedded the link through to them in the BOLD heading below.
