It’s no surprise perhaps that a rock star would be fond of champagne. Lenny Kravitz’s affinity for Dom Pérignon goes beyond the tour bus tipple however. The iconic musician, record producer and design guru, who was named Creative Director of the LVMH

The last five years have seen an emergence — technically, a re-emergence — of cannabis legalisation and decriminalisation in Australia. That’s reflected not necessarily in policy (although there’s definitely been some good steps forward) but more so

Tell us a bit about your shoot – where, when, the idea behind it, etc… I shot in my opinion, the most beautiful place on earth. I wanted to display who I am, which is a mix of country girl, some high fashion and a little bit rocker! Are there any

When it comes to private islands, well-heeled travellers to the Maldives are spoiled for choice. You can rent or purchase one with a beautiful house on it, but buying out an entire private island resort may be the most baller move of all. Essentially

Call it The Shot. Late 2019. A Friday night at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. The 3-1 Los Angeles Lakers, kicking off a gruelling three-game road trip, are facing the surprising 3-1 Mavericks. Dallas leads by three with 6.4 seconds left and

What can audiences expect from your upcoming shows? Jokes. And just jokes this time. I’ve done four years of emotional wank, where at one point in the show I go serious and play with tension in the room, cashing in on peoples awkwardness. And much l
