They’re vegan-friendly so you’re know you’re not washing yourself with distilled animal parts. The soaps are made in America and in the UK Firebox are the only […]

The sexy My Little Pony Transformer cosplay body paint mashup

May 31, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood 5 Comments

Yup. This is body paint except for the wings, helmet and decorations. That means this is probably a NSFW cosplay. Why are you looking at it? The design was created by Roustan Bodypaint who kindly drew the attention of Reddit.

May 30, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

In my review of Eureka Seven AO p1 I mentioned I hadn’t seen the first series, liked the anime but struggled to get into the characters. Part two is different for the obvious reason – I know the characters better now. It’s also different for the less obvious reason – the great big gun that […]

The Star Wars theme played by just one man and his band

May 30, 2014 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I can’t play any musical instruments at all. Nothing. That’s why I’ve every reason to be jealous and impressed by this Swedish street musician. He’s playing a whole band worth of instruments at once. He’s playing Star Wars. One-man bands are pretty rare these days, I think it’s been an age since I’ve seen one […]
