THE tabloid Sun newspaper in the
UK has launched its very own
celebrity perfume, which claims to
provide readers with the smell of
show business.
‘Buzz’ is being marketed as the
“essence of pure entertainment”
and is claimed to combine
essential elements of TV and
movie star Sarah-Jessica Parker
(“style”), Italian film doyenne
Sophia Loren (“charisma”),
English songstress Cheryl Cole
(“girl-next-door charm”) and
singing superstar Beyonce
Knowles (“intoxicating sass”).
It’s been created by parfumier
Roja Dove, who said he hopes the
scent “will make every woman
feel she’s as glamorous as the
people she sees on the television,
on the pages of the newspaper”.
NO numb bums here!
A ski resort in Utah, USA has
announced plans for America’s
first chairlift with seat warmers.
The Canyons ski area in Park
City near state capital Salt Lake
City says the high speed lift will
also feature a special ‘bubble
shield’ to keep the wind off skiers
as it whisks them to the summit in
nine minutes - all the while
electrically keeping their
backsides at a comfortable 12°C.
A similar butt-warming system
was installed at an Austrian
skifield in 2004.
ENTERPRISING New Zealanders
have already begun making the
most of last weekend’s
Christchurch earthquake, with
charities set to benefit from the
online sale of building debris.
Auction site Trade Me is
carrying a number of listings,
including a piece of red brick
from an historic building, broken
plates and dishes being auctioned
for use in mosaics, pieces of
rubble and overturned road
asphalt, and even “earthquake
sand” which is being billed as
ideal for use in sandpits.
Most of the sellers say the
proceeds will go to the Red Cross
for use in disaster relief in the
aftermath of the quake.
