HoodLambs Fashion Show at "A Night for the Oceans in Amsterdam", a Charity Event to raise funds for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (known from Whale Wars on Animal Planet).
Talith and Vera, two surfer babes on a mission; to drive 6000 kilometers through eastern Europe, Turkey, Syria and eventually end up and take a dip in the Red Sea in Jordan …for charity. This is the synopsis for one of the teams at the Red Sea Challenge 2009. HoodLamb powered the babes with survival gear for the chilly desert nights…
This Saturday, Aloha is organising a Fancy Dress Surf competition at Hollands' best surf spot Wijk aan Zee. All surfers are invited to join the competition! This is a benefit event of which all proceeds will be donated to the cancer foundation. HoodLamb is sponsoring the event and hopes to see you there tomorrow!
With all this Pope talk, we almost forget the nicest fact: Even the Pope wore Dope!
It's a fact that traditionnally Bishops, Monsignors and Priests all wore Cassocks made of bast fibers woven from Hemp, Flax or Ramie. Therefore even the Popes wore Hemp. Characteristics of hemp fiber are its superior strength and durability, resistance to ultraviolet light and mold, comfort and good absorbency.
Check out the beautiful new video from The Kyteman Orchestra directed by Gijs Kerbosch from 100% Halal Productions.
The Kyteman Orchestra is a project founded by Colin Benders aka Kyteman. The orchestra consists of eighteen musicians, opera singers and a choir. The Mushroom Cloud is the opening track of their album “The Kyteman Orchestra”.
The album is a collection of sounds, somewhere between opera, hip-hop, drum
& bass, electro, minimalism and all kinds of other genres. All
the instrumentals for this record were done in one take, with
practically no edits whatsoever. They played everything exactly as you
hear it on the album. Read more and listen on the Kyteman website.
