Dirt Poster

Genius! How much do I love this! The Dirt Poster is simply a work of art. The back side of the poster is covered with a layer of ink, which you need to smudge on to the front side the poster, to reveal the message that has been spot-varnished onto the paper.

The future belongs to the few of us still willing to get our hands dirty.

So get your hands dirty...

You Go Girl!

Yes folks, times are tough, but as always, women are tougher! The New York Times recently published an article stating that eventually more women than men would be employed in the US. The reason is that, in more than 8 out of 10 layoffs, it's men who are getting the boot. That's because the steepest downturns have been in male-heavy sectors like construction.
