The Life Sized Pin Toy.


Bag designer Lulu Guinness created this human-sized pin toy as part of Clerkenwell Design Week in the UK and placed the interactive sculpture for passers-by to have fun with. Passers-by were encouraged to step up to the screen and press their bodies against the pins to set an image of themselves. Inevitably, many cheeky ideas, like the one above, were floated.

A House Keeper’s 50′s Photography.


After spending decades collecting dust the work of an unlikely artist has finally been uncovered.  To the outside world Vivian Maier was just a nanny and housekeeper working in Chicago. But she also had a hidden talent was not recognised until after her death in 2009.  Maier spent her life wandering the streets of Chicago with a Rolleflex camera strapped to her neck taking remarkable black and white pictures of a different side of the city, and a different side of life in America.  Now some 100,000 pictures have been unearthed by John Maloof a real estate agent who bought the negatives as part of a storage locker at a Chicago auction house.

The Most Expensive Penthouse In S.F.


A two-floor, $28 million penthouse in my new hometown of San Francisco has made history as the most expensive condo sold in the city’s history.  The 20,000-square-foot condo features floor-to-ceiling glass windows, six bedrooms, seven full baths, four powder rooms; 2,500 square foot master suite, thirteen-seat home cinema and four terraces, four fireplaces and six car parking.  The penthouse was originally asking $70 million in 2008 by Victor MacFarlane, a real-estate developer who bought three apartment shells and combined them.

Disrupting Urination Norms.


In Mumbai there is a custom of putting wall tiles of gods from different religions along street facades that most would deem “strange”. They’re positioned at pissing height – and act as a perfect deterrent in a reverent nation.  Long story short, when your drunk and on the street, you wouldn’t piss on Jesus’s face… Clever.

Office Supplies Art Installations.


I enjoy the show the Office, and everyone needs supplies, plus I’m an art lover, so when I saw this display of ‘office supply art’ I was triply thrilled.  Built in the Lower East Side Bridgegallery, CHROMAtex.me was constructed of 4,416 panels of high gloss photo paper. Each panel is a specific color and geometry to fit its unique placement within the larger form. The entire structure was held together with 17,000 standard office supply binder clips. If you live in NYC, or you’re coming here sometime soon, make sure to check it out.

Lindsay Lohan vs. Marilyn Monroe – Leaked Nude Photos.


Click the pic for the unedited photo.

I know before they even read this, all the males said “he’s got to be joking with these censored photos.”, so let me explain.  About a week ago, I came across a source who dropped a couple photos on one of my hard drives and told me that they were the leaked pictures from February’s upcoming Playboy Magazine issue.  The spread is supposed to be a recreation of the ever famous Marilyn Monroe Playboy spread of yesteryear.  Oddly enough they chose Lindsay Lohan as the one to bring back this priceless collection of photos, and weather or not you think she was up to task is all a matter of personal opinion.  When putting these photos up, I was reminded that my sponsors (the people who pay this blog’s bills) tend to go ape-sh*t when there’s too much nudity on the front page.  SO, all you have to do is click the photo to see the bare-skin Miss Lohan in all her glory.  Enjoy.

The Official ‘Dark Knight Rises Trailer’.


As an avid movie-goer, I have to admit that I participated quite a bit in the madness of this opening weekend.  With ‘Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows’, and ‘Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol’ both being released with different tastes of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ before each, tons of people were out trying to soak up a sneak peek.  Luckily for anyone who didn’t pay $11.50 to see Sherlock just for Bruce Wayne, or those who held off paying $18.50 to see a 6 minute look at Bane… some DKR stuff just popped up on iTunes.  The second trailer was released earlier today, and when my phone blew up with emails about it, I knew I had to share.

The Deglon Meeting Knife Set.


I’m an avid fan of cooking, I love the concept of mixing and matching ingredients and tastes, and coming up with something that no one else can reproduce.  That might sound a little weird coming from a male Disk Jockey… however, in the words of Drizzy Drake “but the b*tches love it”.  But regardless of why you may enjoy cooking, everyone should take a look at these awesome kitchen knives.  Designed by Mia Schmallenbach, the Deglon Meeting Knife Set won first prize in the 5th European Cutlery Design Awards. This set of sculptural, nested knives is practical, durable and a work of art. The set is made of high quality stainless steel and seemingly appears to be created from a single block of stainless steel. To remove each knife, simply press down near the tip of the blade and lift knife away by the handle. The set includes 4 knifes, a paring knife, a utility knife, a chef knife and a slicer. You can buy it here.

50 Cent – ‘Off and On’ Official Video.


A little while ago, I put up a post about 50 Cent’s “The Big 10″ mixtape, for which he’d be shooting a music video for every song.  ‘Off and On’ is the first video to drop from the mixtape, directed by Jackson Smith which features some pretty tight body paint.  Check the method.

The City Limits.


Different video styles have a unique way of reflecting different concepts both visually and mentally.  One of the most beautiful ways to demonstrate the passing of time, is with a tool called a time lapse.  I came across a clip by Dominic Boudreault, who used the time lapse to demonstrate a duality between the city and nature.  Regardless of the original intent, the video is downright beautiful, and capture city sights beautifully.

Locations include :

- Montreal, Quebec, Canada
- Quebec city, Quebec, Canada
- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- Manhattan, New York, USA
- Chicago, Illinois, USA

Rob Dyrdek Kickflips A Car.


Following GM’s publicity stunt, which dropped a 2012 Chevy Sonic out of a plane, MTV-reality and action sports-star Rob Dyrdek recently performed a kick flip in the Chevy Sonic. For those of us that didn’t grow up riding skateboards, a kick flip is a 360-degree rotation in mid-air.  “A kick flip with a Chevy Sonic was a no-brainer,” said Dyrdek. “I am a Chevy guy from my ’69 Camaro to the Tahoe I drive every day. The Sonic’s power and sportiness made it the perfect vehicle for this awesome stunt.”

 

 

The stunt was performed at Six Flags Magic Mountain, while MTV filmed the feat for the Season 5 premiere of Fantasy Factory. Dyrdek executed the kick flip over the world’s-largest skateboard that he created for a previous stunt.

The Prada LG 3.0 Phone.


LG and fashion label Prada are collaborating for the third time to release the first LG Prada smartphone, the Prada phone by LG 3.0.  The phone combines Prada’s style with LG’s innovative technology, including one of the biggest and brightest screens in the world with 4.3inch and 800-nit screen.  Menus and the user interface are also influenced by Prada with black, grey and white menu and icons.  The Prada Phone by LG 3.0 adopts LG’s “tri-dual” design meaning it has a dual-core 1GHz processor and 512MB of RAM per core, bringing a total of 1GB.  The 8 mega-pixel camera is a real highlight because it can record 1080p video at a smooth 30fps.  The PRADA Phone also supports  WiFi , 3G and Bluetooth.  On-board memory weighs in at 8GB, which is upgradable through the use of microSD cards.  The phone runs Android’s Gingerbread OS. It is planned that the handset will update to Ice Cream Sandwich in the future.

The first LG Prada, also known as LG KE850, was the world’s first mobile phone to use a touchscreen display.  Dr. Jong-seok Park, CEO of LG Eletronics Mobile Communications Company, said, “Our working relationship with PRADA is unique in its longevity and success, something no other phone company and luxury brand have been able to replicate.”  Designer labels attached to phones is not a novelty these days considering the Hugo Boss Samsung Galaxy Ace or the BlackBerry Porsche Design P’9981 devices.

Storm Freerun.


No, this has nothing to do with me trying to jump off buildings, or attempting any death defying stunts.  The Storm Team is a Parkour (Free Running) group that just released their first team video.  Check out all the high flying ridiculousness in the video below… and don’t try that at home.

The Skeleton Pocket Watch.


For each of the past few years at the SIHH show in Geneva, Cartier has unveiled a “grande complication” wristwatch featuring a tourbillon, perpetual calendar and monopusher chronograph.  This year, Cartier has drawn inspiration from Cartier pocket watches produced in the 1930′s to produce the eye-catching piece you see here.  The watch is crafted in white gold, with skeletonized Roman numerals, something that we have also seen the past few years in some of Cartier’s higher end pieces.

Getting Back To Nature.


We will never tire of the positive effects of nature. Its calming, soothing and inspiring influence will never go out of style. The more we rush, the more time we spend indoors staring at our screens and devices, the more urban our lifestyles become, the more we crave and need time away from it all.  Nothing represents that point better than this photo collection.
