John Butler arrived in Canberra on Saturday night, to present his new Trio. Performing to a packed house, he again proved why he is a shining beacon for musicians all around the world.

As well as the main event, audiences were treated to the affable and care-free Brett Dennen. With a few shakes of his loosely connected hips, North-Californian Dennen quickly garnered the audience’s attention with quirky Acoustic/Pop tunes.

The media has given celebs computer screens of flak for this season’s biggest do/don’t: visible shoulder pads.

Made big by Balmain’s Spring/Summer 09 collection, the visible shoulder pad has been seen sported by the likes of Rhiannon, Kim Kardashian and Kristen Cavallari, with none of them actually doing this tricky look any justice.

Shoulder pads hail from the 80’s, so keep the rest of your look polished and modern (go easy on the jewellery) to avoid looking like an unfortunate blast from the past.

Re-shape your brows
So you’ve had a few eyebrow waxes, but plucking is so much easier right? Have a look in the mirror, study your eyebrows – is there shape and symmetry? Plucking for a long period of time impacts on your shape, and if you’re thinking ‘what shape?’ it’s time to put down the tweezers and go ‘bush’ for 6-8 weeks. Not plucking during this period is imperative to re-shaping from scratch.

Your best shape eyebrows will change over time too, as your weight and haircut does, so make sure you get an eyebrow re-shape with a beauty professional every 12 months.
