The latest in Phiadon's acclaimed 'Cream' series has arrived on our shores, and it's far grander than the past four installations. Currently the most in-depth and original resource for anyone interested in emerging contemporary artists, 'Creamier: Contemporary Art In Culture' is a literary depiction of a roundtable discussion between 10 prominent international curators and their pick of the 100 most influential up-and-coming contemporary artists. Presented in a quirky newspaper-inspired layout, every page is brimming with artist profiles, accompanied by full coloured images of their globally scattered exhibitions. Not just another coffee table book with pretty pictures, 'Creamier' takes a look at all modern day influences affecting the artistic practice, from global recession to changing technologies, while exploring the idea that there are no limitations on age, geography or medium.

From the outside, the Hyundai i20 looks compact and smart but on the inside it's spacious and even smarter. For a small hatch (on paper at least), the leg, head and shoulder room are very generous. There's also 295 litres of luggage space out the back, with foldable back seats for when you need more. Even the glove box is generously deep, and - voila - has a cooling function to keep drinks crisp on hot summer days.
But space alone isn't what makes the i20 so special. Cream took the vehicle for a test-drive from Walsh Bay to Whale Beach, just 45 minutes from the Sydney CBD. Though I'd been to Whale Beach several times before, I'd never driven there myself, but the i20 made the drive easy thanks to a bright back-lit instrument display that's nice and clear to read, with power steering and tight-turning diameter - the latter make it most easy to move in and out of small spaces. Steering wheel audio controls allow you to navigate music on your iPod (or the radio or CD) with the touch of your fingertips.
You might have seen the television ad / Youtube clip for the i20, which uses for its soundtrack The Ting Tings' fabulous 'Shut Up And Let Me Go'. It's a song that's robust from the start, but bright, accessible, with room to groove and all about easy moving - all qualities that can be applied to the i20, even its bonnet looking like it wants to growl.
The auto is available in four models - 3-door Active, 5-door Active, Elite, and Premium - with the range kicking off at a very affordable $14,990 (plus on-road costs). At this price and due to its small hatch status, the i20 is already being put in the same category as Hyundai's previous popular small car, the Getz, and other brands' vehicles like Toyota's Yaris, Honda's Jazz, Ford's Fiesta and Mazda's more recent 2, but really this is a cool car all on its own. Though it may not have the utter retro appeal of, say, a Volkswagen Polo, it has just as much going for it in the functionality department.
Available in seven colours ('electric' red and green amongst the more popular 'sleek silver' and 'crystal white'), there's an i20 to suit most forward-thinking, spunky, young - and perhaps mostly new-to-the-road - drivers. |

According to studies undertaken to reveal what men harbour as a main physical concern, 70% name “hair mass” as a worry. It seems as though they may now rest easy with the new Kerastase Homme creation, a complete range of luxury haircare designed specifically for men, targeting the reinforcement of existing hair mass. Kerastase Homme Capital Force consists of three daily programs, complete with daily treatment shampoo and leave-in care, specifically targeting certain scalp issues with opposing actions - anti-oiliness, anti-dandruff and densifying. How, you may ask? By combating the two key factors for men’s hair loss - hormonal and aggravating - with a smorgasbord of new technologies called Systeme Taurine. Yes, we know it might sound like all the other products on the market, but trust us when we say a couple of lads in the office have only started using the product and already their locks are looking more textured. Oh, and did we mention it smells amazing?
