Up There

Last night, BFD Productions hosted a series of documentary shorts. Among the many great ones, Up There was the one that personally touched me. It is about the diminishing industry of hand-painted advertising floating around the city. Sponsored by Stella Artois, filmmaker Malcolm Murray reveals the stories of these rare painters that live to perfect their love of artistry.

Please take a moment to watch this documentary.

Short and Brave

Guest Blogger: Tiffany C.

Growing up, long hair was the normal thing to do. Then a few years ago, Rihanna came out with the bob cut, looking bad -- bad and sexy. Not to mention, Victoria Beckham and herself as well. Okay, so not everybody can pull the short hair look. But I'm sure every girl has thought about it, and they've hesitated thinking "What if I don't look good with short hair?"

Well ladies, explore. I've gone for short hair 4 years ago, and I've been cutting it shorter and shorter since. Now I'm stuck in between: a really short back (due to shaving it), and a really long front. There are times I miss my long hair, but we're in 2010. We can look just as creative as art. From hair, to nails, to our curled lashes. And with creative celebrities such as Lady Gaga, I think different is in. Short hair can just be as sexy as long hair. No you can't twirl your hair as much, but it's easier to handle and if it doesn't look too good, your hair will grow...inevitably.
