what is flagrance?

Fla´gran`cy . The condition or quality of being flagrant; atrocity; heinousness; enormity; excess.

Flagrance is good! Once upon a time Barra and David decided that if we were to create our own fragrance, we would call it 'Flagrance'. The idea being that it would be flagrantly expensive and flagrantly nice smelling. Well, we don't know how to develop, manufacture, and market a fragrance, so we have made a blog instead. Deal with it!

Flagrant Advertising

Recently I found a really cool blog called Dark Roasted Blend. As its own motto says, it is a collection of "All Sorts of Weird and Wonderful Things". Basically, it has collections of really cool photographs on (what I think) are some really interesting subjects. For instance, the pictures shown here are taken from one of Dark Roasted Blend's posts about creative advertisements. There are lots more advertisements which can be seen at this page, and theres 5 more pages of them if you look around the site. But cool advertisements are just one of an array of subjects covered on the site. There is a very wide variety of picture sets, but nearly all of them are interesting. Some of the good ones are Moscow: Futuristic Concepts from 1900, Strange Towers of the Third Reich and The Most Dangerous Roads in the World.

I seriously recommend you check out the site, it's just so good!

That is a seriously cool site.

Dave, get this....on the most dangerous roads page...

''Apparently some companies make business on the road's dubious fame by selling the extreme bike tours down that road.''

my older bro Sam did this. He said it was the most extreme thing he's ever done in his life. You have to stay on one side of the road or else the trucks will just run you over(this is the cliff edge side too!) you're sometimes left with inches of space to cycle past beside them. also because there is no traffic control whatsoever(obviously) - the trucks that get stuck just have to reverse back down the mountain for sometimes miles!

In retrospect it's easy to applaud my brother for such a daring feat. but i can't believe he did it! absolutely insane
