Tomorrow, blogs might even drive print magazines
The ‘Insider’ section has now been facelifted for the first time, bringing it in line with the new pages on the Lucire website. It has also dawned on us that this blog celebrates its second anniversary. Lucire was a late convert to blogging, even though I had been blogging away—on a very irregular basis—since […]

Walter Cronkite deserves today’s praise
[Cross-posted] It’s quite sad to learn of the passing of former CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite today. Although Cronkite had not been on the nightly news since his retirement from that show in the early 1980s, his job taken over by Dan Rather, he remained in the public eye with occasional documentaries and interviews. Even young […]

Where have all the chat rooms gone?
[Cross-posted] One of the topics raised by Summer Rayne Oakes, author of Style, Naturally and a scientist and strategist in her own right—not to mention Lucire’s editor-at-large—was why chat rooms fell out of favour this century. During the last week, Summer Rayne and I had plenty of good chats, but this is probably one […]
Cassius Eyewear gets plenty of attention
I was chatting to Cassius Eyewear’s Jason Ng, who has seen his company grow very quickly in a short space of time. Not surprising to see why: Cassius’s range has some cool oversized styles, plus the campaign has been very nicely shot. The interesting thing is that Cassius is getting more press outside New Zealand […]
