summer is coming… and Cape Town should be stressed.

I am having major mixed emotions towards this weather. On the one hand – I cannot wait for Summer: beaches, tans, smoothies, iced coffees and so on… but with the current dam level average across the province on 17 October being 35.9%, my current excitement comes with much stress.  Continue reading summer is coming… and Cape Town should be stressed.

the baseball cap.

The first baseball hats were made out of straw and were first worn by the New York Knickerbockers on the 24th of April 1849. After a few years of straw, the cap transformed and started being made out of merino wool. During the 1940’s, latex rubber was used to stiffen the material inside the hat. This was when the modern baseball cap was first born! Continue reading the baseball cap.

The BodyCon dress, otherwise known as the bandage dress, was first designed by  Hervé Leroux in the early 90s. “I didn’t want to launch until I truly understood the whole idea. A bandage dress isn’t a woven, it’s all knitted on a knitting machine and is a completely different concept…” Continue reading The BodyCon or the Con of the body?

Who am I?

This is my productive procrastination… at least that’s what I tell myself.

My name is Charlie, I own a Harley. I write about anything and everything. I also have an unhealthy obsession with chocolate and coffee.

My pet peeves include people who misuse ‘a’ and ‘an’ or ‘there’ or ‘their’ or ‘to’ and ‘too’ and so on!

Otherwise I am pretty much always happy and love to be ignorantly optimistic :)
