i ♥ Lamp

... No i seriously Love This Lamp!! Fuck a couch!



Korean designer Ji Young Shon has created the most perfect Lamp ever. You just place one of the simplistic designs- either larger or desk sized, in the corner & you have one sexy source of light.

I'm pretty obsessed with purchasing the taller of the lamps because it would fit perfectly in one of the many (low lit) corners of my house. And they're sick... too bad i can't find where to buy one but, I will. I will.

The Penguin Pops Up in NYC



Original Penguin has opened a 'pop up' store available now thru Dec. 31, 09 in SoHo. 103 Greene Street (bet. Spring St. & Prince St.) NY, NY 10012 to be exact.

Original Penguin's been around a looong time (c.1950's) and the clothes kinda reflect that in a cool, book-wormy, computer geek sorta way- Perfect for the classic Fall & Winter NYC look. Ex: Adam Brody (Seth from the OC) is a fan... that kinda look.

Seeing as how I usually order their super soft, comfy sweaters and the occasional bubble skirt that looks like wrapping paper (MISTAKE!) on-line, I am really excited about this. Im definitely heading there to scoop a few new (incredibly well made, luxurious) cardigans & to try on some of their pants & fitted tees so i wont be as surprised when I get them as I was with the effin skirt...










I'll stop raving about these quality sweaters now because I'm pretty sure you get the picture. And if you wanna be a part of the 'official' opening, here's the invite.
Go for superior sweaters, stay for the free Blue Moon.

Alice in Waterland



This. Is. Mind-blowing!!
To take a childrens story and set it underwater is fantastically innovative but, the way underwater photographer Elena Kalis executed this is just amazing.






I love how the Cheshire Cat was converted into a shark; how they incorporated the flamingos by using a balloon; the urgency of the Queen of Hearts leading Alice and how the model for Alice (Kalis' daughter Sasha) animates the character perfectly underwater. Perfection.







Eat ME!

I've always felt a special kinship to Wednesday Addams ☁...





... And I've never trusted Sarah Miller.

C'est FaFi!!!





Fafi, the French graffiti artist whose collaborated with errrr'1 from MAC to Le Sportsac and even on Lily Allen's "Oh My God" video, is at it again, teaming with upcoming NYC based girls graffiti tee designers Kweenz Destroy.

While there's only one design of a YFF (young, fresh, fLy) 'Fafinette' you can get it on either a tee shirt or tank top.

I really ♥ Fafi and even have a print of hers so you know I'm copping one. I think I'm going with the tee. Fafinettes are adorably whorish... and maaaaybe a good Halloween costume?! Hmmm..........

These Boots Are Made For....




Any guy with a dick errr heartbeat would let the chica wearing these walk all over them.... amongst other things. ;-)

Report (really?!) is going out on a (whole) limb with these deliciously avant-garde thigh high boots. And with a name like "Kane" these boots imply kink with every lil stud, spike, zipper and belt attachment. Unfortunately a real cane nor the belt (by Diesel) are included but im sure your sick little mind could come up with some other toys to use.




For Deviants Only.

♪♫ WuuuUuu WuuuUuu ♬

Being from 'Shaolin' you have to rep the Wu. Everyone has a story of how they met This member or smoked with That member. And who doesn't have at least 5 Method Man autographs? Chasing Meth around the mall for one is like a Staten Island teenager's right of passage!

It's been such a long time since a Wu member has come out with such a strong, anxiously awaited CD. I'm glad it's Rae- I couldn't take another "Pretty Tony"-like album. And after the success of the purple tape and how many MC's styles it inspired... I can't wait to see what happens with this go-round.

I am LOVING that Wu-Tang is back and has come together for the purpose of their brother Raekwon. The Chef explains what had to be done to cook this project up



Raekwon's eagerly anticipated Only Built 4 Cuban Linx II is set for release this Tuesday Sept. 8, 09. Swarm & get it kiiiddddd.

New Couch?

So I need a couch. Right now I'm working with beach chairs. That's right- Mother. Ufckin. Beach chairs!! I'm not going into debt or opening up a store card for a couch, and I lothe IKEA's couches- they're wack.

Well on my hunt, i've found a perfect (for me) couch. It's dark and macabre and customizable (♥!).



They're Coffin Couches! Made by a SoCal company that takes UNUSED caskets and turns them into gorgeous customized couches. This one's called Purple Haze (I had to!).

Kat Von D and Jesse James are proud owners and you can even find one in the LA County Coroners office.




I've picked my colors already- a smokey white swirl on a black casket with robin's egg blue leather. Now I'm just waiting for someone to give me the $3,500 that it costs. Gramma, are you reading this?? (*Hint hint)

To order one (for me) it's CoffinCouches.com

Food Vs. CLothes





There are two things I spend a lot of money on- Clothes and Weed. And I love when I can mix the two together. In comes Married To The MOB (Money Over Bitches), the girly/ tough street-wear clothing line for chicas who don't take any bullshit.

I NEED these to satisfy both urges for bud and gear. The bathing suit would look banging on any MaryJane and it's reversible too! The way this season's turning out, I could probs wear the bathing suit well into October. And i can't even imagine how many ways I would rock that scarf!!
Okay, so maybe I will lay off the munchies so i can afford the clothes AND look tight in em.

And Look, they even have shirts for B in regards to her Stan!

Summer '09 Styles




I know flip flops have been the official summer shoe since forever but, in recent years they've been elevated to unescapable status. I have been pretty unimpressed with 'designer' flip flops from years past and usually opted to just get ones from Old Navy of Target but, this year changes that.

Since I'm a Kid Robot addict I check their site pretty often for new toy or clothes releases but, I Never would have expected these. Glow-in-the-Dark FLip FLops in colab with Havaianas! For $35 they're only slighty more expensive than regular HAvaianas flip flops and worth it because 1) They're probz the cheapest thing on the Kid Robot site & 2) THEY GLOW-IN-THE-DARK!!! That alone is worth the $35! You know that everyone's gonna be jealous when you're walking around & your flip flops are luminenscent.

I also Love these Marc Jacob's flip flops. The ♥ is mad cute and the lil girl on the platform would be adorable to see if walking behind someone. Im also biased because I have the glasses she's rocking but, for $59.95 they ain't cute enough.

OK- i've talked the hell outta flip flops so I'll stop.

Marshall Manners


The new issue, in actual paper is due May 5th- might as well buy it bc that's a rare luxury in this economy. Something ese hard to come by is an Eminem compliment, which is just what He gave Asher Roth, 

"Asher Roth, I haven't had a chance to, like, really get into everything, like, really get into what he's about, because I've only hear a couple songs. There was talk about people saying he sounded like me, and he was doing this and that and, you know, trying to take what I do and do it. You know, shit like that. I've heard things. But the stuff that I've heard from him honestly, which certainly isn't enough for me to make my own opinion and say, 'Yeah, he does sound like me' or 'No, he doesn't.' But the couple of songs I've head, I don't really think he does. You know what I mean? He's doing his own thing. I can respect it, too, because at the end of the day, I think he's dope."


Em Doesn't really appear to be saying much about anything. I dont see this "We arent gonna go into depth while commenting each other" lasting... even though they would have a lot to gain off of  each other. Em keeps coming out w/ OK shit  & Ash is no predecessor who everyone expects him be like since he already sounds like him. Ash rhymes about college times & drinking & fuckin& Weed! Eminem writes about what's going on in His world & We get to Listen in! Em has such an impeccable delivery method thats he's impossible to duplicate. Know anyone else who can rhyme the word Orange 3 Times ( Album: The Eminem Show Song: Business). To compare the two is like comparing Big & Pac- 2 different styles. 

OK im done rambling... Here's a funny Video w/ AsherRoth and RickRoss




Dunny Love




Now i know i'm creative, but this is on some original tip! Blubbel of Berlin makes these custom Dunny's of comic book characters. Personally, I'm loving these Dark Knight Dunny's, esp the Joker one (cliche, but whatevs) but it's because he's the most interesting out of the bunch an looks like it was the hardest character to 'capture'. The Watchmen ones are cool too, but i don't even know who they are, so for now i'll be a sheep. Baaaaa... me one- Please!! For my birthday? You can find these posted on the Kidrobot.com message boards... I don't know which one though.

What Year Is It?


Because when I saw this cover in CVS I thought for sure it was 1991. I can't place my finger on the reason why; maybe it's the hoop earings, or what looks like my dads shirt or the Tiffani Amber Thiessen hair that needs to go back into its banana clip, or the fact that it's on Allure & i thought that magazine died a while ago.

I mean who buys Allure anyway- all they offer are spa's & hairstylists in all the major cities, a 'Save vs. Splurge' with whack products like cerulean blue eyeshadow and that last page where they interview celebs. They ask these asinine questions, like "You look great tonight. What do you do to your hands to get ready for the evening?" and then ask 'stars' like Padma Lakshmi and Tinsley Mortimer who respond with "I scrub them with a vegetable cleaner and then slather them in baby placenta cream" or "Nothing. I only use a little bit of Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion right before bed." God I hate Allure magazine.

Anyfuckerey, Isla Fisher still looks hot on the cover. How the hell did Borat score that? Oh yea, he's got a big dick tall & funny.
