    Cozy B&B in London?

    Dear Loungers. Will be repeating last years London Extravaganza with yet another dip into our beloved London. Only thing that was a tad disappointing last time around, was the brutally overpriced and utterly charmless hotel we stayed in. So; we are currently looking for a nice B&B/hotel...

    This is the cover of the album "The Nightly Disease" by the Norwegian band "Madrugada". Does anyone know who the actress in the picture is? I am told that the picture is from a movie, possibly during the silent-era.

    Sophiatown comes out of the closet.

    Found this commercial at Youtube. Most people have a very limited knowledge about the impact North-American culture had on street-life, not to mention street-style, in pre-apartheid South Africa. Good to see this heritage alive & kicking... :p <object width="425" height="344"><param...
