a little bit of love goes a long way

Do you want to give back? Then what are you waiting for -  get yourself a Mudlove Charity Band.

A Mudlove band is made of clay, is waterproof, adjustable and totally cute. But most importantly, each band bought gives an African clean drinking water for a year. Buy yourself and your friends an armful as they come in a variety of colours and words and at only $5USD they are an inexpensive way to make a difference.

Check out the Mudlove website for more details.

Ever wonder what Barbie gets up to when your not around? Its seems that Barbie has a dark side....

Self-taught photographer Mariel Clayton features Barbie, her plastic sidekicks and detailed miniatures in her art. Mariel presents Barbie and friends in all manner of situations - sometimes the outcome is humorous, sometimes grisly, sometimes both.

Stop by her website to decide for yourself. Its not to everyones taste, but we think her art is marvelous and thought provoking!
