You’ve got to love when something practical as hell also becomes cool as shit. It’s like when “harem pants” made it ok to wear my stretchy ankled trackies to the office (with a blazer, ok?) or when Pam made all the Yanks think that uggies were outdoors-y footwear (and coordinated perfectly with denim minis). They must have been so grateful. For anything we could say about Pam An, uggies are freakin’ comfy. So the fact that every celeb worth her Manolos are this winter once more rocking the oversized beret-shaped beanie (maybe they should call them bea-rets?) for more than just cranial insulation, should have you giddy with practicality-induced excitement. Don’t believe me? Look how hot damn Nicole (and Harlow) and Vanessa my-boyfriend-spends-longer-on-his-hair-than-I-do
Hudgens look. Yes, ScarJo, yes.
Try it for your bad self with one of these bea-rets* from Lulu and Rose (which coincidentally, cost less than the price of a movie ticket these days, and have a
sweet-as-heck pom pom added to the top – handy for some kid sitting behind
you on the bus to flick at or to aid in the yanking it off).
*please note: Our word, not theirs.

Brenda. Kelly. Dylan.
The sweet, sweet smell of CK One.
Rollerblading down to the shops for a bag of Toobs.
Tom Cruise was cool, not coo-coo.
Your boombox was always pumping Keep The Faith and Nevermind,
But you’d turn it down when The Fresh Prince was on.
Your wardrobe was simple:
A flannelette shirt;
Acid-wash jeans;
And Volleys ‘cause Mum wouldn’t buy you the Reebok Pumps you were dying for.
It was the best of times (doing The Bartman)
It was the worst of times (doing The Macarena)
***
Maybe it’s because it’s 2009, but have you noticed?
The nineties are back!!!
This winter, step into your time machine and slip into a check shirt – we’re digging these ones
that are in store now Yep, a tiny touch of tartan and you’ll be hotter than
Take That and the Backstreet Boys put together.

Why is it that glasses only serve to make someone look intellectual? Shouldn’t they serve as a flag for visual impairment and therefore some kind of genetic glitch that we should try and modify out of the human race? If we were in the wild, the models who strutted the runway for Tracy Reese’s latest show at Bryant Park, we would have been left those poor babies to fend for themselves… While we could tell you all about their perfectly nude-y type lip or the brilliantly bookish hair do’s (both very true), we saw nothing but these cool as shit goggles. These ones have a Clark Kent-style sexiness to them and are just cute-as-a-button. A great, every-face shape thickness to the black and like Baby Bear’s porridge, they’re not too small (eek, late nineties) or too big (eeuww, 80s), but just right. Get thee to an optometrist. Fake the reading chart if you have to. Specs are next seasons equivalent of the aviator. Even your mum can wear them and look cool.
Hello and welcome to Buzz, Glue Store’s guide to the sweet things in life. No doubt you have urgent sartorial matters on your mind but let’s not rush this online relationship. Before you shoot off to admire One Teaspoon’s “Cowboys, Indians and Eskimos” inspired winter range or to squeeze your virtual toosh into Levi’s latest cigarette thin denim why not limber up with some flash points from the world of culture. Let’s start by acknowledging that the always well-dressed Kings of Leon (Tennessee brothers Caleb, Nathan, Jared, and cousin Mathew)
are the hottest band in the universe right now. Can we agree on that?

Only by Night was not only Australia’s biggest album of 2008 it helped the nation’s lagging CD sales surpass 2007 trade – a feat in the age of MP3. The album’s singles – Sex On Fire and Use Somebody - rocketed to first and third on the JJJ Top One Hundred and tickets for their up coming tour sold out before you could say “dang, I done missed out”. What is it about Australia and KOL? It’s an infatuation that has built with each album on the back of consistently pummelling live shows. Your only chance to see these sex-fuelled sons of a preacher man kick out the jams this March is to pay an exorbitant price on E-bay. Think of it as an investment.
Those Coldplay “wankers”(acording to Bono) are among a stellar line-up confirmed to play at Sound Relief, a benefit concert for the thousands of people who lives were razed by the Victorian bushfires. The stadium shows will be held simultaneously in Melbourne and Sydney on Saturday, March 14. Also appearing at the gigs will be Jack Johnson, Wolfmother, Kings of Leon (three songs, early afternoon, Melbourne only) and a reformed, Federal MP led Midnight Oil. Great music for a tragic and most deserving cause.
Tickets are $90 and are available through Ticketek.
