Sweet. I'll probably be purchasing this gem:

Mail Me Art

MailmeART is a fun project from UK illustrator Darren Di Lieto. The aim is simple, too put on an exhibition in London of mail/packaging/post art sent to him. The artwork has to be on the outside and actually travelled through the postal system, on display like a proud peacock. 

With local DJ like precision I will now present what is a very tenious link from this to la Fraise women's week, ready, here goes:

I got girls to draw art. On an envelope. 

Thats it?

Pretty much. But I got them to draw something related to the female, either a woman or being a woman. Really just to try and make it fit to womens week a little more. So hopefully if your entry is deemed worthy, the girls behind la Fraise (and some of Spreadshirt) will have their artwork displayed in the exhibition. Here is a closer look what they came up with:

I'd say some of the creative juices were running dry by the time we made it to the back.

London here we come. Insert closing joke here. Thanks for reading

La Fraise Womens

 

We have our first Bimbette’s!

From adam, on 2007-03-20 at 12:17

Sophie and Camille, Bimbette's don't you know. 

We're there ever any doubters?

La Fraise's french blogger extraordinaire and marketing mogul are in infact Bimbette's. Scoring a measly 5 Sophie ranks as a Bimbette, an intelligent Bimbette but a Bimbette none the less. Camille achieved a slightly more measly 4.5 shes a better Bimbette. Rumours that this highlights faults in the french education system will be answered when I get a non Frenchie (Steffi) to take the test, which should be sometime after hell freezes over. Standby everyone, standby.

When asked for comment about their new found titles they responded:

Sophie: "Yay, Paris Hilton is my idol, I dont really careif I'm a Bimbette."

Camille: "F%&! you Adam, I hate you anyway."

Camille would also like mentioned that she

a) Thinks the test is rubbish

b) Disputes most of the questions.

c) Hates me anyway.

I'll talk about the disputed questions later in the week, after I've rounded up a few more willing victims to take the test. 

A warm welcome to Ladies Week

I wasn't sure what exactly i would write about for this week. But then the universe conspired to deliver an absolute gem. From there this post rights itself, co-incidence doesn't seem a strong enough word :)

Its not us celebrating the fairer sex this week, oh no. The Oxford English Dictionary has been kind enough to give up a little bit of space on its coveted pages for a particular type of female. Its really great that the OED is championing this type of under-appreciated girl. What is it?

The Bimbette.

Whats a bimbette ?

"Bimbette is used to describe a young woman or adolescent girl, especially one regarded as sexually attractive but thought to lack intelligence or distinctive personality." From Oxford English Dictionary

 

 

Chantelle - Uk Bimbette 
Awesome.
I cant wait to use that in scrabble. Now that this word is part of recognised language, I think its important than we have rules before we doll out this type of classification to just anyone who happens to be pretty but not quite the full picnic. Things to consider:
 
a) Can you be a temporary bimbette?
Its common knowledge that each time a woman reads a celebrity magazine, they lose 1% of their intelligence. Its been proved by scientists, somewhere, but I cant find the link right now. So if you take away a bimbette's celeb mags, daytime tv and replace with classic literature and late night chats about the big questions, can you cure the bimbette?
 
b) Is this a derogatory term?
As much as we might snigger or joke, there are a lot of advantages in dating very attractive, dumb people. It's like having a puppy, they would be really angry that you went out, but its too be busy being happy that your back.
 
c) How do you classify who is a bimbette?
I've devised a basic test to help in the classification of the bimbette.
 
The questions:
1) What colour is an invisible car?

.
.
3) What is the capital of the USA?
a) LA
b) NY
C) Washington DC

.
.
4) Can you see the great wall of china from space?
a) Yeah, totally.
b) Nah, space is really far away like.

.
.
5) How many F's are in the following sentence:
OFTEN, FISH FIND FOOD AFTER FIFTY YEARS OF SWIMMING THE CHANNEL OF RALPH.
a) Six
b) Seven
c) Eight
d) Nine
e) Ten

.
.
6) A farmer has 20 sheep, and all but 15 die. How many sheep are left?
a) 5
b) 19
c) 15
d) 20

.
.
7) A doctors tells you to take a pill every hour. You have 3 pills. How long before they are all gone?
a) 1 hour
b) 2 hours
c) 3 hours
d) 4 hours

a) A continent
b) A country
c) A supermarket

9) It's 3:15pm on a standard clock. How many degree's are between the hands?

c) 0
d) 20

.
.
10) Who was Winston Churchill (actually answered incorrectly by Miss GB on live TV last year ;)?
a) A rapper
b) A Prime Minister
c) A US president

 

Scoring :
9 - 10: Geekette
6 - 8: Averagette

0 - 2: Ultimate Bimbette

I'll test these on the female members of laFraise and let you know how they got on. Stay tuned for potentially less offensive content later in the week.
