10. Clean Shaven Comeback

Clean Shaven Comeback

Facial hair became very, very common in the last few years, with almost every male who could grow it sporting some. It all began a few years back with shaped designer stubble, but pretty soon as this look became ubiquitous if not actually compulsory a facial-hair race developed in which male celebs and their followers sought to outdo each other in furriness. The stubble grew and grew, ending with Brad Pitt’s Mad Miner straggly nightmare and David Beckham’s patchy face-carpet. But now, inevitably, the beardy backlash has begun. Brad Pitt recently shaved his off, as had Russell Brand, Robbie Williams, Joaquim Phoenix, Keanu Reeves and Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley, to name but a few.

Using sun-block SPF 50+ in Thailand

Using sun-block SPF 50+ in Thailand

Joyce de Groot from Erasmus Coolhunt ‘08: The trend we are dealing with in Thailand is that all Thai want to be as ‘white’ as possible, in other words, they don’t want to get tanned.  In Bangkok (capital of Thailand) it is really hard to find a sun block which has a SPF of below 50. SPF is an indicator of the effectiveness of sunscreen – the higher the SPF the more protection a sunscreen offers against UV-B (the ultraviolet radiation that causes sunburn). Actors and other famous people are an example for the Thai and are also really ‘white’.
