Stephen Merchant, British comedic actor and co-creator of The Office, has recently created and starred on another hit TV show called Hello Ladies, where his character Stuart lives in Los Angeles hoping to meet the woman of his dreams, provided she’s a gorgeous supermodel who by proxy makes him the cool dude he only wishes he could be. I didn’t get into this show straight away, but after a few episodes, I got sucked in.
In a girl’s life, there are few things that will compare to her love for shoes. Chocolate and puppies will come close, but they cannot compare to matching your new shoes to your outfit. Love with a man is somewhere way down the list. This is one of the reasons why, no matter how much pain you are in, girls will wear heels.
This weekend, thousands of fake tanned, waxed and barely clothed boys and girls (Yes! Boys AND girls) will compare selfies while popping pills and checking out each others’ muscle tone. That’s right! It’s Stereosonic!
Many of Melbourne’s bar and media people gathered at the new South Yarra bar The Emerson for the first Time Out Melbourne Bar Awards on Monday November 25th. Happening on The Emerson’s rooftop bar with its gorgeous view of Commercial Road (expect for the construction happening across the road), with many complimentary Rekorderlig ciders, Sail & Anchor beers, Havana rum cocktails and Tempus Two wines flowing (score!).
Bouncers are that one person standing between you and your night out. Six-foot or taller and complete muscle, bouncers have the responsibility of selecting nightclubs patrons. Therefore, it is your duty to prove to these apes as to why you should be guaranteed entry.
The Big Bang Theory has to be just about the most popular sitcom on TV at the moment, if not the most popular TV show in general, with 20 million viewers who tuned in to see the current season’s opening episode. Who’d thought that the simple premise of a hot blonde having to deal with four nerds’ social awkwardness could churn out season after season and get people laughing hysterically?
Apart from that whole straight edge schlock, metalheads generally make great party animals. They enjoy pretty much any alcoholic beverage imaginable as long as it’s strong, plentiful and preferably straight. They love loud music, have a great knowledge of music venues and have crafted their very own version of a dance floor – think of your typical nightclub but add more body odour, hair, sweat and fists.
With so many different dance moves trending, it’s hard to know what moves you should keep in your pocket for that special night of flowing alcohol, allowable groping and anticipated beat drops. Twerking, Jerking, Shuffling, Yiking, to Dougie or to Gabber? Sometimes the classics are your best bet. They’re simple, take little effort and are do-able in heels. Not everyone can shake it like a rednose.
Other than 17 year old sticker artists and people who slurp ‘Go-gurt’ out of used enema bags, is there anyone as perennially cool as a DJ? These guys have somehow managed to monetise a job that used to be done for free by drunken uncles at weddings, turning an artform that started as a unique mode of expression for African-Americans in the urban jungle into a tool for meeting barely legals at schoolies and embarking on wild ‘finerbangathons’ that us non-DJs can only dream about.
Another year, another lot of kids graduating high school, which means it’s bucks galore for Gold Coast nightclubs thanks to Schoolies. In fact, all of the Gold Coast’s businesses will be making a packet, and considering how much money Gold Coast businesses like its theme parks and resorts make thanks to the ridiculous amount of tourists that go there all year round, that’s saying something.
