Half-socks are those socks youve never seen before until now. If you wear clogs and slip ons daily but want to keep them in top nick, then you need half-socks. I couldn’t find them anywhere in the UK and the only website I know of that sells them is Fetishize~Me. They are really cheap, soft on your tootsies and very cute. Mine arrived in the post today and Im thrilled to bits with them. Fetishize~Me socks are the yummiest!
Tired of your boring old bed? Dream of being that girl from the Exorcist? Now you can have your own Exorcist bed with Levitator option. “Our Exorcist Bed thrashes on a solid steel 360° simulator chassis. Your Actors can ride it or you may choose to add the Levitator option which safely and comfortably floats an Actor to a height of 5’0? up and down over the bed as it thrashes around.” (Found on Geisha Asobi)
The Exorcist Bed is made by The ScareFactory – a full service design and fabrication studio that specializes in creating haunted attractions and everything that goes into them. Check out their full catalog.
Went to see Pieter-Dirk Uys speak about Foreign Aids at the Theatre Royal in Brighton last night. He was dazzling to watch, and brilliantly witty and funny. You may know him as Evita Bezuidenhout – the most famous woman in South Africa.
For the last few years of his life, this man, without state funding and absolutely no corporate funding, goes around to every school in South Africa that invites him to talk to the kids and young adults about the seriousness of the AIDS pandemic in South Africa. He has visited every school imaginable, from Bishops High to schools with a cow and a tree for shelter. Uys is not very popular with many parents and teachers who don’t approve of the graphic language, humour and props he uses to get his message across to kids, some as young as 6. But the reality in South Africa is that kids are using graphic language when they talk to their friends about sex; showing them how to put a condom correctly on a banana is not as relevant as using a dildo, and children even younger than 6 in SA are exposed to the deadly threat of AIDS every day of their lives. The youth of SA love him because he is hilariously funny and they can ask him any question under the sun without feeling awkward or bad. Even though the government is trying to shut him up, he is arming South Africa’s children with condoms and knowledge and is saving countless lives. I have the greatest admiration and respect for this man.
An important issue he addressed last night was WHAT is South Africa doing spending R53 BILLION on a dodgy arms deal when we have no enemies? When the only enemy we have, is silent and invisible and more devastating than we have ever known before – the Southern African AIDS pandemic. There are almost 5 MILLION HIV sufferers in SA. Why is that money not being spent on more widespread use of anti-retroviral drugs – helping HIV positive people to stay healthy so they can LIVE WITH AIDS and die with dignity?
Yummy Wakame interviewed the sexy sock mistress from Fetishize~Me – sellers of the worlds finest and best socks. I buy my socks from Fetishize~Me!
These are my magic kitties: small, medium & large.
These three abandoned sisters were born in South Africa so we had to bring them with us to the UK. They were found a few weeks old covered in ticks and brown dreadlocks, with wobbly legs, skinny tummies and short straight kitten tails. We had no idea they would turn out to be so beautiful! Pieter and I occasionally see a ghost kitten who looks just like them and who likes to play with Medium a lot. It travelled all the way to the UK with us and is also part of the family, but so far we havent managed to take any photos of it.

Its the Brighton Circus Festival this weekend!!
“There are three circus acts at the Preston Park circus village until Saturday 24. This weekend the three shows will come together to offer a diverse mix of bizarre and incredible live entertainment.
Marvel at the the 2,000 year old tradition of acrobatics from the Chinese State Circus, relive the spirit of the traditional Thirties village circus with the magical Jerwood Award winning Gifford’s Circus, and prepare to laugh and be amazed by the innovative Circus Space Cabaret. And for those who dare, there’s a chance to discover hidden talents for tightrope walking and other skills at a variety of circus workshops throughout the weekend.”
1/2 price ticket vouchers for the Chinese State Circus can be found in shops all around Brighton. Hunt for them! All of the magic without the animals, although dont be surprised if you see a dragon or two.
A rope bridge has been built to help dormice safely cross a busy Sussex road.
“The unique crossing, 18ft in the air, was erected after fears a new relief road would sever a 20-strong community of the furry creatures living in Anscombe Wood. Dormice are a protected species after becoming extinct in as many as seven English counties during the last century. Dr Tony Whitbread, head of conservation at the Sussex Wildlife Trust, said: “Dormice live in trees. If you stick a road through a large woodland you divide a population in half so it becomes untenable.”
If you’re a new mum and struggling to find a weblog you can relate to, then Quinntillion could turn out to be a favourite hangout. It’s so new and fresh, the design squeaks when you lick it.
Protect the Western Arctic Reserve From Big Oil
The Western Arctic Reserve, also known as the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska, is the largest tract of unprotected, relatively pristine public land in the United States. The 23.5 million-acre reserve is home to imperiled polar bears, seabirds and one of the densest populations of nesting raptors in the world. Its shores and lagoons harbor beluga whales, seals, walruses and other marine mammals. The BLM is accepting comments on a planning document that sets the stage for oil and gas leasing in the western Arctic for decades to come. Help save this national treasure by telling the BLM to protect the Western Arctic Reserve from dirty fossil fuel development »
