When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email.

The Pantsula Basics


Now you can practice the moves in the privacy of your own surroundings. Then hit the dance floor like a Pantsula Pro.

An Introduction to Pantsula


Pantsula became a popular dance form in the 1980s among the township youth. The Zulu word "pantsula" means to waddle like a duck or to walk with protruding buttocks - a colourful way of describing this flat-footed tap-and-glide style of African dancing.

Mondays Motto










What a Quiff.

Over the weekend there was a significant look among the beautiful people I wandered by in the streets. This look did not discriminate in any way shape or form. It was as though a memo was received by a selected few,

To Mikko With Love....

Last year we uploaded an image of Mikko.  It was a slightly blurred image from head to waist. This was a Work in Progress (and still is)


However this is another Mikko piece we created and a lovely family have fallen in love with her so she has left our nest.

The Tubular Vase Story 1.0



Okay so here's the story.

I was in the middle of a design when a vision of a horn like vase came into my head.  I am easily distracted by the numerous ideas that are running around my body. So I sketched the idea on paper and continued working....



So let's Jack (updated)

When I first saw this video I was thinking to myself  'is that a weave?'

Love the textures and colours in this video and the movement of the outfits makes the dancing seem hypnotic.

Can I get that in a 22" please?

Polite note - if you sing this song in public you may receive some funny looks.
You've been warned...

Reading is Fundamental!

Hello,


Things have been very quiet on the Ossie&Olga social media front (Apologies). We have been locked in a Time capsule for a few months, upon our exit we found out many things were the same and our main objective (to go back in time) was not a success....

Some funny/strange/weird stories



                                              

A Penny Saved...


A man was arrested in Providence, R.I, after allegedly knocking out an armored car driver and stealing the closest four bags of money. It turned out they contained $800 in PENNIES, weighed 30 pounds each,and slowed him to a stagger during his getaway so that police officers easily jumped him from behind.


Blue honey traced to M&Ms

Beekeepers in northeastern France were puzzled to find their hives were full of honey in strange blue and green tints. Although flowers bloom in colors, the nectar from them is usually colorless. The culprit turned out to be candy-coated M&Ms! A biogas plant near Ribeauville in Alsace had contracted with a Mars candy manufacturer to process the plant's waste products, which included the colored candy and food dye. The biogas company was red-faced when confronted with blue honey, and promised to rectify the situation by immediately covering the waste to prevent bees from eating it, and to process the materials as soon as possible. The blue and green honey will not be sold.



Police officer chased himself

In a story that was shared with a monthly police magazine, a police officer in Sussex, England, ended up chasing himself around for 20 minutes. A CCTV (closed circuit TV) operator saw a suspicious man on the streets, and called a plainclothes officer for help. The operator gave directions to the areas where the suspicious man was caught on camera, and the officer always seemed to be close, but could not see any evidence of the man. That is, until they realized that the "suspicious character" was actually the plainclothes officer! The date of the misadventure has been lost in the retelling, as all police officers involved were too busy laughing.
