| 'Flesh Air': Sydney artist takes bodies of art mainstream Posted: 21 Jun 2011 02:20 AM PDT Ever noticed the maidens that decorate the front of Virgin's fleet? The man who painted them, Wayne Harrison, has a much larger body of work than airplanes. He has started a trend of painting women's bodies. Rather than tattoos, models can look pretty and then wash it off straight away. Harrison caused a stir at the Cannes Film Festival last year when he plagiarized a local artist's work on a model's body. His hobby of painting nude women forms a calender that's just been released.      |
| Weird Japanese food #743: Spam, poop burgers Posted: 21 Jun 2011 01:16 AM PDT Outside of World War II newsreel, that stretch of the Pacific occupied by Good Ship Hawaii and all who sail in her, there's really only one other place or time the legendary "mystery meat" known as Spam is even close to acceptable and that's in modern-day Japan.

| Ash cloud travel chaos returns to Australia Posted: 20 Jun 2011 09:07 PM PDT  An ash cloud drifting around the world for a second time after spewing from a Chilean volcano more than two weeks ago is once again grounding commercial jets and stranding thousands of passengers in Australia.

| 5 historic Singapore restaurants Posted: 20 Jun 2011 06:27 PM PDT Singapore diners have seen a fair share of boom and busts. But a clutch of restaurants has quietly endured the cycles. Through good times and bad, they continue to dish out their signature plates to the baby boomers and their children -- and grand children. While a handful, such as Shashlik and Pete's Place, have retained their old-school ambiance, others, like Gordon Grill and Ristorante Bologna, have spruced up their menus and interior to keep abreast of the times.    |
| Listen to Selcuk Artut's trip from Turkey to Hong Kong Posted: 20 Jun 2011 03:00 PM PDT  Plane passengers, street markets, train stations, the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong -- all form part of Turkish contemporary artist Selcuk Artut's rather unusual spontaneous sound installation based on his journey from Istanbul to Hong Kong. He started recording sounds while in Istanbul before he flew out to Hong Kong. Then he recorded his plane journey. Once he arrived, he recorded various sounds of Wan Chai, Mong Kok, Hong Kong Park, the MTR stations, his hotel room and within the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre -- where he attended and exhibited at the Hong Kong International Art Fair (ART HK).    |
| Tarini Awatramani: My skepticism of pop spirituality Posted: 20 Jun 2011 02:58 PM PDT As in any big city, common afflictions found in seasoned Mumbaikars include chronic dissatisfaction, boredom, identity troubles, economic and existential anxiety and attention spans the length of YouTube videos. To cope we have the standard pacifiers -- new gadgets, weekends in Goa, coconut-oil head rubs, a good drink, occasional gigs, recycled gossip, venting on Facebook, etc. Lately, however, I find that my friends and acquaintances are trying something different, an old Indian alternative: meditation. I have always been wary of meditation, or perhaps just meditators. Love the band, loathe the fans, that sort of thing.    |
| 7 top southern Thai dishes and where to eat them in Bangkok Posted: 20 Jun 2011 02:57 PM PDT Highly underrated due to a lack of exposure, southern Thai food in Bangkok is often overshadowed by the city's obsession with northeast Thai cuisine. Nevertheless, southern Thailand has a few culinary heavyweights that could put up a fight in any Thai food battle. In the south, Thai food collides with intensity. When cooked to code it should be deeply spicy. Not that sharp bite of chili that burns for a few seconds and then dissipates, but that internal inferno, like a fireplace lit in your stomach. But heat is not the only prominent flavor of southern Thai food. Dishes are marked by a natural abundance of herbs, local provisions of coconut cream and the ever present rich spice blends of turmeric, galangal, garlic, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaves.    |
| Gallery: Eugene on how you can look like 'the most beautiful woman in Korea' Posted: 20 Jun 2011 02:55 PM PDT The pop icon spills makeup and hotness tips in her new beauty bible "Until the day all women become prettier." That's the ambitious motto set forth in Eugene's new beauty book, "Eugene's Get it Beauty." And who is more fit to impart beauty wisdom than former S.E.S. member Eugene? Since her debut in 1997, the idol singer-turned-actress-turned-talk-show-host has held fast to the title of the most beautiful woman in Korea. She nevertheless modestly credits a great deal of her looks to her makeup skills.    |
