Mr Blobby costume sells for £62,000 on eBay

Mr Blobby costume sells for £62,000 on eBay

An anonymous buyer has given Mr Blobby a new lease of life by shelling out over £60,000 for the character’s iconic costume.

The clumsy pink creature covered in yellow spots first attracted eyeballs starting in the early 1990s on various BBC shows.

He first made an appearance in the “Gotcha” segment of the hit BBC show Noel’s House Party, where celebrities would had to endure pranks.

Last week a seller started an online auction on eBay to find a new home for the Mr Blobby costume in their possession.

The costume, which was originally listed last week by the seller with a low starting price of just £39, was made in the 1990s.

This means this incredible piece of TV memorability is more than 25 years old.

It has now sold for an incredible £62, 101.

It was made for an overseas version of the BBC TV show Noel’s House Party that was ultimately cancelled, meaning the costume had been gathering dust for decades after missing out on a chance to have its big TV studio debut.

The seller said they got the costume because of quite a sad and shocking reason – nobody wanted to take it home with them.

Can you believe no one would want such a distinguished individual – with a bow tie and a wide smile – in their house?

The seller was left to take care of the costume and it lived in their office and then their home for years.

Gwen Stefani — singer, TV personality, beauty entrepreneur and noted cultural appropriator — seems to be a bit confused about her ethnicity.

This became clear in a recent interview with Allure‘s Senior Editor Jesa Marie Calaor, which began as an opportunity for Stefani to discuss her existing color cosmetics brand GXVE Beauty, but quickly devolved into a confusing string of comments from the star seeming to claim that she’s Japanese.

On the morning of January 16, SEVENTEEN Jeonghan was spotted at the Incheon International Airport, leaving for the Paris Fashion Week that is set to begin on January 17. Jeonghan was directly invited by the global headquarters of Yves Saint Laurent to attend Paris Fashion Week and is expected to be dressed in the luxury fashion brand’s clothing as he sits in the front row of the show.

Jeonghan was dressed in a sophisticated black silver-striped suit and brown Chelsea boots with a black leather cross-body bag. The K-pop idol looked chic in his simple yet classy look with his long black hair perfectly accentuating his appearance.

As a representative of Yves Saint Laurent, the idol will most likely be dressed in clothes from the brand’s latest Fall/Winter Men’s Wear 2023 collection. Given that this is YSL’s first time attending Paris Fashion Week after their long pause of six years, fans of the brand as well as SEVENTEEN Jeonghan are excited to see what the show has in store for them.

Africa: How ‘Fast Fashion’ Causes Environmental Havoc #AfricaClimateCrisis

“Who are you wearing?” is the catchphrase at most red carpet events. But how often do we take the time to consider the clothing industry’s impact on sustainability and human rights? To answer that question, we need to ask: “Where does all that clothing go after you’re done using it?”

Shopping is one of our favourite guilty pleasures, but it comes with a lot of hidden problems, which can be summarised in the phrase “fast fashion”.

What is fast fashion? The environmental news and data platform, Earth.org, defines fast fashion as “cheaply produced and priced items that copy the latest catwalk styles and trends and get pushed through stores in order to maximise sales.”

Why is Fast Fashion so harmful to the environment?

The result of more and more clothes being manufactured every year, and worn for shorter and shorter periods, is that the industry accounts for more than 1.2 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually. “That’s one-tenth of all emissions – more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined,” says the Future Investment Initiative Institute, which is head-quartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Not only does fashion culture’s obsession with updating your wardrobe for the newest look generate a tremendous amount of pollution; as well as the environmental cost, there’s a human cost.

Behind that hot fashion statement is often an overworked person living in extreme poverty and working in appalling conditions that can be classified as modern…

SA20 aims to bring light to dark times to South African cricket

, , , , , 0 Comments

, 2023-01-07 18:45:24,

When the lights come back on after a power cut in South Africa – and they happen as often as four times a day – people cheer. They don’t do it because they’re particularly pleased (who would be, given that the country is into its 16th year of rolling blackouts?), or even with a sense of irony – they do it because they’re relieved that their two-and-a-half hour outage has ended on time, and in the light.

“People feel it’s a dark time right now,” Faf du Plessis, in his role as captain of the Joburg Super Kings said, and he wasn’t talking about the electricity.

Just like its power utility, South African cricket has not been switched on over the last few years, and their problems are worsening. The Test team is currently in Australia, facing the possibility of being swept 3-0 there for the first time since 2001. Less than two years ago, du Plessis was the most experienced batter in that side. Now, he is a T20 league specialist and part of the brigade that has promised to bring the light back into the country’s game through the SA20. “We need this competition for the game to grow,” du Plessis said. “Hopefully it will make people very optimistic about the future of South African cricket.”

It has already made people more interested in the game. The opening match between MI Cape Town and Paarl Royals on Tuesday – which is also the first match with fans at Newlands in the post-Covid-19 era, is a sell-out. More than 20,000 people have bought tickets to the game. Who knows if the same…

10 biggest trends of 2023, from woolly mammoths to daring denim

10 biggest trends of 2023, from woolly mammoths to daring denim

, , , , , , , , 0 Comments

, 2022-12-31 12:21:00,

If 2022 taught us anything, it’s that the things we take for granted today aren’t guaranteed tomorrow. Will next year bring the end of Twitter? The abolition of cryptocurrencies? Affordable Taylor Swift tickets? An entirely new form of democracy? We might not be able to predict what will evolve or even disappear in 2023, but we have a pretty good idea of the trends that could take the world by storm over the next 12 months. 

We consulted experts in a broad range of fields to get their take on the big changes that’ll make 2023 so memorable. Here’s what we can look forward to:

LAB-GROWN MEAT

Faux meat cultivated in a laboratory has come a long way since 2013, when Google co-founder Sergey Brin paid $330,000 for the first burger created from a living cow’s stem cells. But things took a big turn earlier this year, when the Food and Drug Administration completed a “pre-market consultation” of lab-grown chicken by California-based Upside Foods and had “no further questions” about the product’s safety, bringing the lab-grown meat one step closer to restaurant menus and grocery store shelves.

California-based Upside Foods had a big win in 2022 when the FDA completed initial reviews of their lab-grown meat products with no major concerns.
UPSIDE Foods
If all goes well, Upside "meat" (like this fried chicken patty) will soon appear on plates nationwide, one of many bio-engineered proteins now in development by competitors.

Korean Cosmetics Rise to Top of Japanese Market – The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition): Daily News from Korea

Korean Cosmetics Rise to Top of Japanese Market – The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition): Daily News from Korea

, , , 0 Comments

, 2022-12-28 03:05:00,

Korean cosmetics are selling like hot cakes in Japan despite the weak yen, which makes imports more expensive.

According to the Korea International Trade Association, Korea exported 66.5 billion yen worth of cosmetics to Japan in the first 10 months of this year, surpassing French makeup products to rank No. 1. Next came French, U.S. and Chinese cosmetics.

Top Korean brand Amore Pacific closed down high-end stores in Japan in 2014 because sales were failing, but Korean TV dramas and pop music became immensely popular in Japan during the coronavirus pandemic thanks to Netflix and sparked a craze for other Korean products.

Fourteen Korean cosmetics brands ranked among the top 20 bestselling makeup products on Tuesday on Japanese online shopping platform Qoo10, which has 20 million users.

Small and mid-sized brands like Bonajour and VT Cosmetics performed particularly well, accounting for 12 out of the 14 Korean brands. Health and beauty chain CJ Olive Young’s sales of small and mid-sized Korean cosmetics makers on Rakuten and Qoo10 surged 132 percent on-year.

A CJ Olive Young staffer said, “Cosmetics from small and mid-sized Korean companies are touted as being good quality and affordable on Japanese online communities.”

Nature Republic, which had been losing money, opened a Japanese…
