Known for her sexually explicit artworks Australian artist Hazel Dooney has teamed up with Legends Rubbers to create a limited edition series of condom tins.

Dooney, who has often faced censorship over her controversial art works including her Sex Tourist installation at Art Melbourne in 2007, regards the collaboration a form of cultural enhancement. " It's a great way to distribute and increase awareness of art to people who may not otherwise be able to afford it or who have yet to become really interested in it."

The co-founder of Legends Rubbers, Daniel Moeschinger, approached Dooney due to the fact, "her women are strong, sexy, and unembarrassed, just like her, and they perfectly express Legend's brand values." www.hazeldooney.com

4real is a television series which sees prolific music producer Sol Guy take artists like Joaquin Pheonix, Eva Mendes and MIA to areas of the world where young leaders are, often under extreme circumstances, working for change on some of the most pressing issues of our times. The latest installment of this great series is 4Real Kibera; Kibera being the capital of Kenya and the largest slum in Africa. In late 2008 Raila Odinga became Prime Minister in a power share deal with President Mwai Kibaki; the fallout of the election saw political violence that left 1200 dead, 300,000 displaced and the city of Kibera in tatters. Although things seem to have settled now, Kenya is still a struggling country. This Wednesday, QLD artist network, Bandwagon, is presenting the Australian launch of 4Real Kibera. Head down to oxford Arts from 8pm for screenings of 4REAL episodes as well as an exhibition from 20 of Australia's most respected underground artists. Entry is by donation or $10 after 9pm.

Mike owned a beat-up old white Honda Civic Hatchback that looked just like the million other boring-ass white hatchbacks out there. One day he decided he wanted to have a donkey painted on it. Not just any donkey, but the one from his favourite book, Platero y Yo. Mike eventually persuaded a muralist to turn his car into this moving pastoral scene. It cost him $1000. Mike was onto something, but there were just a few problems. It was expensive. It was permanent. It was a donkey. Infectious car art have changed all that they have taken all the creativity of Mike's moving canvas and removed all the negatives with removable car art from artists such as Dalek, Junko Mizuno, Emil Kozak and many more.

While it may have taken a beating by association this week thanks to the new "four middies = binge drinking" rule, the humble beer will never go out of fashion. And with personalisation becoming increasingly craved in a wash of mass-marketed products, what could be cooler this summer than having your own brew? The clever kiwi trio behind OurBrew have but one aim: to create the world’s first crowd produced beer. Recognising the influence a group of like-minded people can wield (particularly when it comes to consumer products) Danis Roberts, Dan Phillips and Tim Tregonning devised a wee experiment; let the public decide on their own product - in this case, a case of beer. Using the most powerful modern tool there is - the internet - the three have recruited over 500 people; all of whom will vote on each stage of the beer's development from the style and taste to the name and packaging. The finished product will then be shopped around to NZ breweries and eventually launched at a special OurBrew tasting party - where its democracy of makers will get the first opportunity to taste the fruits of their labour. I think this is a bloody wonderful idea and if you do too then be sure to get on board!

The classy numbers you see above are "Heelarious" heels. Heels for babies. Here is a direct quote from the company website on how this important innovation came to be:

“Britta Bacon & Hayden Porter are childhood friends turned business partners. While Hayden was completely obsessed with high heels, Britta wasn't even sure if she owned a pair. On her way to her daughter Kayla's 4th birthday party, Britta was reminiscing about when Kayla was a baby and Hayden's shoe obsession crossed her mind. She thought to herself "That would have been hilarious if I could have brought Kayla to a party in high heels when she was a baby". It was at that moment that Heelarious was born”

Wow, see what they did there with the name?! Call me Miranda Devine but I would argue that any parent who finds hilarity in sticking their baby in leopard-print heels does not deserve to be a parent.

Like an ID mag editorial come to life, BBC's Class of 2008 showcases the cream of LDN's Shoreditch-dwelling, mad ligging, SuperSuper reading beautiful young hipsters. Centered around the current GF of Mark Ronson and - in my opinion one of the most gorgeous women in the world - model, Daisy Lowe, Class of 2008 follows her and five equally beautiful friends as they try to make it big in '08. Kesh Kumar is known world-wide as a stylist, fashion designer and DJ; Will blondelle sings in rock and roll band Blondelle and is also the on/off boyf of Daisy (with whom she did a rather saucy shoot for ID magazine not too long ago); Flash Louie is a DJ and narrator of the show; Portia Freeman is an up-and-coming model and the rather dim Daryl is a boxer-turned-model-turned aspiring actor. I know it all sounds rather shallow and Hills-like but, trust me, the characters are all just really sweet, aspirational and normal 20/21-year-olds. It's quite interesting to see these supposedly too-cool-for-school kids lugging clothing samples on the bus, checking MySpace pages at internet cafes, going to the pub and cooking dinner in their pokey Hoxton flats. You can watch all the episodes of Class of 2008 at the BBC website.

Seattle has quite the illustrious history when it comes to indie music. Let us not forget the 90's grunge movement's alternate tag of "The Seattle Sound"? And that particular era birthed Subpop Records, i.e, indie lifestyle brand and rasion de'etre for iPods of alt-kids around the world. More recently, the port city has layed claim to two more wonderful music exports; Tiny Vipers and Fleet foxes. The stage name of singer/songwriter Jesy Fortino, Tiny Vipers relies on minimal guitar chords and Fortino's remarkable voice (one with a slight Beth Orton quality) to create the most melodic, emotive and quietly epic music your likely to ever cry to after a bad break-up. Tiny Vipers released her first full length album, Hands Across the Void, through - you guessed it - Subpop late last year. Another sweet sweet Subpop signing is Fleet Foxes. With three out of five band members sporting the shaggy hair and Jesus beard combo and all exhibiting a penchant for plaid. Fleet Foxes are begging for a hippie tag but instead play the most wonderful brand of harmonic pop that's reminiscent of the Beach Boys or Crosby, Stills and Nash. Fleet Foxes released their debut album earlier this month.
