Shoe Swap: Web Design vs. Singing Lessons

Following the passions of David Lim, Jade takes up singing lessons this week for an extra vocal Shoe Swap. The Diff'rent Strokes pair will also present a Guide To: Auto-Tune, exploring the pop music industry's fetish with pitch perfection.

(Dave's singer/songwriter idol, Natasha Bedingfield, enjoying some studio time)

Also on tonight's show, Dave takes a leaf out of Jade's online content work and skills up on good web design principles.

Tune in for another killer episode tonight:

Diff'rent Strokes Drive

Jade and Dave are filling in for Bridget on the Campervan this evening.

Join us for a Diff'rent Strokes Drive Home.

(Move over Tyra... our very own Jade The Model is coming for your crown!)

We'll be doing our signature Shoe Swap as always:

It's all in the strut, pout and knowing your angles as 'Jade learns to model'.

Meanwhile 'Dave Becomes a New Media Geek' gives you the low down on blogging and podcasting.

Have you ever had someone that, like, got all up in yo' grill?

Dave will give a Guide To: Personal Space and how to best assert your private boundaries.

On the flip side - it has become apparent that common sense not that common anymore!

Jade's Guide To: Common Sense will hopefully help define what should be general knowledge or understanding - and when you're just plain clueless!

(From Girls Aloud and Ben Lee to Madame Butterfly?)

We'll also be having the delightful Dan Vo, host of The Fool and The Opera in to introduce Jade and Dave to opera. We can be cultured, right?

And finally, we'll crack open a Diff'rent Strokes classic with Jade Journals - ever wonder what a typical conversation between Jade's parents are like? Oh! The things our parents say.

It's going to be a very Diff'rent Strokes Wednesday indeed!

On top of filling in for drive... Jade and Dave will be returning for their usual hour of power from 10pm-11pm tonight as well.
