Yesterday was the last day of Vienna Fashion Week 2013 and I checked out a few shows. One among them was the show of ‘Magdalena Adriane’, a Vienna based fashion designer. The label focuses mainly on evening couture and demonstrated that a perfect cut for such robes is essential.

Where are my gnomes at?

Garden gnomes are a controversial topic: some consider them pure kitsch whereas others think they ornament a garden beautifully.

Whatever point of view you prefer, it is for sure that they often become the target of pranks. The so-called practice of ‘gnoming’ implies kidnapping gnomes for the purpose to return them ‘to the wild’. There are even ‘associations’ that have specialized in this practice (e.g. France’s Le Front de Liberation des Nains de Jardins and Italy’s Garden Gnome Liberation Front MALAG). Meanwhile some ‘liberated’ gnomes have already travelled the world.
