Justin Bieber and his Beaver Fever

If any one reads this and says Justin who? I love you. I seriously just want to kiss you.

16 year old “pop singing sensation” Bieber caused absolute havoc whilst in Australia.
I thought girls being crushed, hyperventilating and being sent to hospital at one of your shows was reserved for rock and roll royalty.
Apparently not.

Bieber looks not a day older than 12 but has still managed to have his performance called off by police because of tweens going wild. I think we’ve just entered an alternate universe.
Unfortunately, Bieber fever has hit Australia.

Backtracking a bit, this VERY young boy was discovered on Youtube, and since then, Bieber has turned into a world sensation. Oh dear, that very concept hurts my head.

Now back to Monday morning- The free performance, which was set up by channel seven’s Sunrise, was forced to be called off when police couldn’t contain thousands of teen girls. I don’t doubt this for a second- Have you seen teen girls recently!? Every second one thinks they’re going to be the next Lindsey or Paris (okay yes, not every teen girl is like this, but for the purpose of imagining what happened let’s pretend they are). The police where pretty quick to ask where these thousands of girls’ parents were, and I completely agree. Where were they are? If so many travelled from inter-state to see him, surely their parents did not let them travel alone? Surely parents did not let their kids go out at 12.30am the night before, to line up and get the best spot to see Bieber perform, by themselves?

The ‘tragedy’ (Youtube Bieber Sydney and watch how some of the girls react to the news that performance had been cancelled…) of the event did bring with it some ‘funniness’, provided mainly by the, ahem, ‘older’ generation.
My Dad, in particular, always asks whenever Bieber comes up on the news or radio ‘Jason Beaver and his Beaver Fever!!’
Yeah Dad, JUSTIN BIEBER did come to Australia, and certainly spread the Fever.

And I for one am glad he’s gone. New Zealand, I hope you’re ready for a case of the Beaver Fever.

Has everyone gone barking mad?

It really baffles me as to how this became an overnight sensation.

Okay, yes, I get that it's funny.
BUT what were people typing into youtube and search engines to find this video, that's what has me utterly confused.
Apparently numerous facebook group and fan pages have been set up for Ray Graham (the man in the clip) as well.
The video (first seen on A Current Affair) has even found air time in America.

Why do you think this has become so popular?

Mama Mia

I just finished reading Mama Mia by Mia Freedman. Apart from the fact it is absolutely hilarious that it had me nearly wetting myself at some points, it is an honest portrayal of the "glamorous" aspects of the magazine industry. Freedman's style of writing is refreshing and down to earth, as is her candidness about many personal experiences- including a bad relationship and the loss of an unborn baby.

Freedman is a popular blogger, but would most likely be mostly known for her work as Editor of Cosmopoliton Magazine. She is also an advocate for body image.

Definately a must read for anyone looking to break into the world of magazines. I'd also recomend it to any woman who struggles to balance career, family and everything in between.

A massive two thumbs up!
