Socially media influenced by Webworm's David Farrier!

Recently Substacker (Webworm), Podcaster (Flightless Bird), Director (Tickled, Dark Tourist, Mr Organ), former TV3 Journalist, David Farrier posted about dyeing his hair... (Quote from subscriber locked post used with permission) WEBWORM WITH DAVID FARRIER - The Origins of Rage I dyed my hair pink - then the angry comments began. DAVID FARRIER | MAR 30, 2024 | PAID Hi, I dyed my hair pink* this week. If I was being pretentious I’d say it was an art project. I’d used a pink-hair filter on social media earlier this month, which had people evenly split between “Oh my God you dyed... Read more →

Ridelabelz laundering instructions for an Abarth

When AHBART was detailed by Final Touch it included ceramic paint protection. That came with very specific hand wash instructions so, although I never use car washes, when I saw this amusing accessory on an Abarth Group had to get one. Seems appropriate for the car and summarises those car care instructions :) I ordered it a couple of months ago and had almost forgotten when, thanks to COVID-19 mail timelines, it arrived last Friday. It is printed on heavy duty vinyl and Velcro attached; take a look at ridelabelz.nl for details. Read more →

Pup-cake?

Took a friend, and Alfie, for a walk around Hobsonville Point recently. We stumbled upon the Farmers Market (now in the old flying boat hangers by the boat ramp) and k9-doggy-deli’s “Bone Appetite” stall. I must say I didn’t buy this. My American ‘cuz'sis’ treated Alfie to a puppy cup-cake: a Pup-cake. Maybe it was because I lugged her a bag of Butterfingers (not sold in NZ) all the way from the USA. How is that fair? Pup-cakes are, to quote the website, “especially suited to your dog, made of 100% fresh ingredients” and it was packed in a cute... Read more →
