Runway Africa

Runway Africa: I movement dedicated to showcasing, promoting and exposing African designers to the masses. According to their site,

“Runway Africa believes strongly that by exposing African designers to the global market, Africa (as a whole) will begin to see a change in each country's economic and social agendas. By stimulating growth in the textile and garment industries, Africa can begin to see some economic stability in those areas. In essence, this kind of mass exposure puts the continent's talent and creativity in global markets and increases the ability to manufacture apparel deriving from Africa.”

Sounds good so far but how do they plan on doing it? Well, they hold a series of events, mainly on the east coast, to highlight specific designers and raise money for a cause. Their next event is being held tonight at Posh in DC and presents Harreit’s Alter Ego designer and creator, Ngozi Odita. The event is in celebration of African Women’s Day and the money raised will go towards Keep A Child Alive.

The main event takes place this September. Runway Africa 2007 will be held in D.C. at the Embassy of France. Designers Ruby (South Africa), Sika Designs (Ghana), Bezeymailan (Togo), Blokes ‘n’ Divas (Nigeria) and Harriet’s Alter Ego (Nigeria) will all showcase their “Africhic” lines at what will be one of the events of the year.

2006 Phillip Island Bartercard Miss V8 Supercar Bikini Competition Part 1

Well I figured its finally time I posted my last lot of old pics. These come from late last year when me and a group of mates decided to do a road trip the the last round of the V8 supercars at Phillip Island. What a great time we had and what a great swag load of pics I took. One of the highlights of the trip was the Bartercard Miss V8 Supercar Bikini Competition. This was the final with all the best girls from all of the other events from around Australia.

It took place on the Saturday night down the end of the main street in Cowes and as you would imagine got a bumper crowd. This was a bit of a baptism of fire for my brand new camera as light conditions where pretty ordinary but it did the job where many others failed. w00t! Here is my first lot of pics:
