Shanti eats an ostrich egg topped with caviar at Maison Boulud, Beijing, China.

Shanti is special indeed. A lady with a massive passion for food and family, she champions the ShowShanti project - a grand website (and soon to come cookbook) that explores the creation of cuisine in the homes of families around China. Travelling all across the country she investigates the favourite recipes of families in their own homes, cataloguing the intricacies of each dish and photographing the families themselves. I can’t wait to see the final collection!

Of Filipino and Danish-American descent, Shanti was born in Guam, raised in California, and has been exploring China from her base in Beijing over the last three years. She also hosts inspirational food events and is sure to update her blog with amazing reviews and recipes from around the world as her ShowShanti travels continue.

I love her list of things she loves.

and her favorite eat is bruschetta on a sunny italian day.

the bold ‘hoe-ner’ of the iSCREAMgarbage collective, zebek also gets up to multi-hued make-up shenanigans amongst the work done with her collective.

iSCREAMgarbage has shot up some alluring photoshoots, bootyshaken together a music video, screenprinted a few flamingos, and encapsulated the life of an octopus.

a team of multi-talented individuals, zebek’s collective is a large cast of females and a selection of hand picked males in the fields of art, film, photography, music and hair, with a model slotted in for added measure.

their website is a time of an online experience. and we certainly hope to see more of zebek and her team of creative ‘garbage’mongers writhe across their colorful corners of interwebs.

could we request an iSCREAMgarbage collective ice cream eating shot? :)

More on the lady here.

cindy gallop eats a candied lemon and lemon tart, petit pot coulis crunch and strawberry chantilly at mr and mrs bund, shanghai, china.

aah, there has been much cast out about this lady all over the interwebs - and rightly so. cindy is of amazing clarity in all that she stands for and she acts on it in glorious ways. take ifwerantheworld.com where she’s enabled a platform where the world can make things that matter happen in simple ‘microaction’ ways; or makelovenotporn.com where she champions her passion of real world sex in a forum to address porn world representations. plus there’s that encouragement of her’s regarding my belief in ordering more desserts than people present at the table…

cindy has achieved so much, in addition to these amazing initiatives she has had an advertising career that spans two decades; achieved the position of chairman and president of the bbh advertising agency; won the 2003 advertising woman of the year award; shared her makelovenotporn story on the ted stage; and is currently a board advisor for behance.

also a true campaigner for #change[ing]the ratio, cindy curates links to a wealth of women of action across her social media profiles. and takes this mantra wherever she goes, which is a lot of places. conferences, events, travel - her #changetheratio message is with her everywhere.

did we mention she also has made sure to create for herself an amazing home?

an inspiration!
