We really like the sound of Rachel Burke’s new fundraising venture. I Make. You Wear It is a project which encourages people to donate to NAPCAN, an organisation dedicated to preventing child abuse. Rachel will make one dress in 2-3 hours every Saturday evening for one of her friends to wear, from August 7th until January 1st. Once made, the dresses are uploaded for all to see in the hope people will post comments and make donations. Head over to help Rachel raise her goal of $25,000 for NAPCAN.

Wow. Check out these paintings by Mark Alsweiler. Pretty-freaking-nice. If you're in Brissie this Thursday head over to Nine Lives Gallery in The Valley to see his work up-close and in the flesh.

Find your nerd boyfriend. This one is just for a little laugh. But who knows, maybe you'll get a some nice inspiration from it, as well as a cheeky giggle.

To celebrate the release of their new album, The Suburbs, Arcade fire is putting on a live show in Madison Square Garden in NYC this Thursday.
