Egypt Tourism Sponsors Naked Pole Vaulter


Ah, a good cause. Romain Mesnil, a silver medalist at the Osaka games has been stripped from his sponsorship deal. In protest he ran around Paris, butt naked. Thanks to the crisis, BBC has put some sponsored links throughout their website; and in this instance it's Egypt Tourism. Quiet the change of heart since December when they wouldn't air some relief ads for Palestinian Relief.

Naked Men = Good Arab Sponsorship
War Relief = Bad Arab Sponsorship

Just saying....

Do It Yourself Dress


Never found the right colour to your outfit? Well Berber Soepboer approached Michiel Schuurman in August 2008 to design the textile for a series of dresses. The COLOURING & the ASSEMBLY dresses were shown on the 7th of September in Bergeick in 'De Ploeg', a very famous textile factory. Although Michiel spent a lot of time to design over a 100 patterns and Berber worked around the clock to get the sewing and the hundreds of buttons done, the result proves the chemistry between them.
