    Getting to Know Glart

    May 16, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Here’s a fun fact for you: Glass has been around since around about 3000 BC (in the Bronze Age), and glassblowing was created in Syria, in the 1st century BC. You may be wondering what that has to do with the price of fish – well, let me explain. Glass is immensely important in our society. And, the fact that it was developed so early on in our history means that it has been incredibly important for our ancestors’ society, and their ancestors’ society… for thousands of years. Again, you may be asking what the point of this is. Well, fine you got me, I guess there isn’t a point…

    Viva the Tomboy!

    February 28, 2013 / 0 Comments

    Whilst Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is perhaps one of the most famous tomboys of her generation, and in no way likely to become BFF’s with Suri Cruise (if I am mistaken, I will sincerely apologise to everyone involved), it’s very likely that she’ll one day embrace a girlier side of herself. Brad and Angelina, watch out, she’s going to be a handful! Whilst I was no great girly-girl as a child, I was certainly no tomboy either… I left that to my sister.

    “Give a Girl the Right Shoes, and She Can Conquer the World.”

    January 22, 2013 / 0 Comments

    –          Marilyn Monroe* Shoes! Glorious Shoes! (If I may be as bold as to twist Oliver’s words a little…) As nearly every teenage girl and woman will tell you, shoes are fantastically important. Mainly, because they’re just fantastic. But think about it, the love of a good or pretty shoe (the best combine beauty and comfort) is reflected throughout history. For the purposes of this blog, history includes fairytales… Where would Cinderella be without her glass slipper? Where would Puss be without his boots? Hermes would have been a great deal less effective as a messenger god without his winged sandals. And the Old woman who lived in a shoe?…
