Katy Perry ft. Juicy J – Dark Horse (Official Video).


70111374049834Katy Perry’s newest video ‘Dark Horse’ (aside from being well put together, and just all around interesting to watch) is being criticized by some members of the Muslim community.  Apparently there is some symbolism surrounding a certain necklace in the video, and it’s destruction.  Criticisms aside, we think the video is just fine. But if you can pick out what all the fuss is about, let us know what you think.

Heroes: Reborn.

For anyone who remembers “Save the cheerleader, save the world.” we all have a new surprise to look forward to.  Heroes will be back in 2015 as a 13 episode event titled ‘Heroes: Reborn’.  There’s no word as to who (if anyone) from the original cast will be returning, but I’m sure with the massive fanbase the show had, that news will spread quickly when it’s released.

The Most Interesting Haircut You’ll Ever See.

Its rare that simple hair styles will catch our eye, but Pauline Darley and Maxime Stange managed to do an incredible job of creating eye popping (literally) hairstyles out of tooth pics.

“Through this concept, we can get a double interpretation of the picture. A photo inspired from the English haircut style that is to say traditional, strong and graphic, combining structure and texture, without using only the hair. The toothpicks have a regular, strong and “slender” shape similar to the texture of hair. Thanks to their small and fine size, the y give effects of lightness and accentuate the texture. 2000 toothpicks are used for each headdress. First, they are painted one by one with some diluted gouache in order to see the “veins” of wood showing through. The mixture of at least 6 colours emphasize effects of depth and “dynamic”.

The Ferrari 750 Monza Spider.


IW-Ferrari-750-Monza-Scaglietti-1955-22

The Ferrari 750 Monza Spider is one of the wonders created by an artist who according to legend was able, in just a few minutes, to turn a sheet of aluminum into a perfectly smooth egg.  Modena-born Sergio Scaglietti (1920-2011) – who in his youth had repaired countless car bumpers working as a tinsmith – used his hammer with the lightness and precision of a surgeon with a scalpel.  In 1939, Enzo Ferrari – the founder of the world-renowned automobile company in Maranello – met Scaglietti and was immediately struck by his talent. A long collaboration and friendship began, with the artist-tinsmith creating some of Ferrari’s most beautiful cars throughout the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s (including the iconic “Testa Rossa”).  The 750 Monza was designed by Dino Ferrari; only thirty-one were made, between 1954 and 1955.  The model was one of the works of art forged by a genius.  Check the method.

The New Standard In Movie Theaters.


multikino
It seems that Poland is the midst of an economic up-swing, and what better time to launch a brand new entertainment multi-plex space than now. “Multikino” theaters in Warsaw, Poland is being billed as the “most spectacular and stylish CINEMA IN EUROPE” I’m not sure if I know anyone who’s been to every single theater in Europe so we’ll just have to take their word for it. Brimming with lush velvet, shiny chrome, rich colors and just screaming bling, this cinematic show stopper was designed by Robert Majkut’s Design Studio.
multikino4
The Premiere Hall has an air of splendid theater and opera auditoria. It features numerous decorative elements, ornaments, and wall lighting details. For convenience, special comfortable seats have been placed in the hall, upholstered with cozy fabrics, and in the VIP-zone they are covered with genuine purple leather. The entire hall, although very modern, alludes by its color scheme to the tradition of grand theater and opera auditoria, which is exemplified by an impressive 9 foot chandelier made using a state-of-the-art LED technology.
multikino3
Both in the upper part of the Premiere Hall and in the first story connected to the Premiere Hall, there is a VIP-zone called the ‘Velvet Bar’. It includes a distinctive long bar and a separate stage – to be used both for music performances and as a separate bay with mobile seats. For a total convenience, the VIP zone has its own cloakroom and toilets. The monochromatic black and purple interior, walls covered in a quilted plush fabric, mirrors, black stone, and spectacular lighting determine the extraordinary, luxury and stylish climate of the place, which is designed in a special way and takes the reception of film art to the highest global standards. This place aspires to be a meeting venue not just for sophisticated film lovers, but also for the creators and participants of film art.

The top level, with a bar and 4 auditoriums, is the so-called “35 mm” music club, with a separate DJ booth, a bar and a restaurant zone. It is a place to rest, relax or organize invitation-only events. Its design is different than that of the whole complex. It is strongly illuminated by a giant window and a huge oval skylight in the ceiling. It surrenders to sunlight with its light-colored, almost white decor, white furniture, sofas and armchairs. This place is special in its dissimilarity to the remaining part of the design, being in opposition to it – a fresh breath. Owing to its functional identity and rearrangement possibilities, it is a perfect place to hold private events, meetings, or – in combination with the auditoriums – reviews, private showings, or film marathons.

Professional stuntman Damien Walters is used to putting his body in harm’s way to get some great shots but his latest stunt may be the most impressive yet. After seeing countless people perform a loop the loop on a bike or skateboard, Walters thought he could do one better: tackle the loop the loop on foot. Working with MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, Walters was able to figure out exactly what kind of speed he needed and when he needed it in order to complete the feet.

The Last Drop Dunny by Sket And Huck Gee


01 04

While both Sket and Huck Gee have stellar reputations for their high-end custom editions, they’ve never collaborated on a custom Dunny, well until now.  A decade of work has lead to their first collaboration – The Last Drop Dunny. Last Drop is a seductively dangerous concoction, blending Huck’s Skullhead character with Sket’s signature bottle aesthetic from his long-running Dunny condiment series.  With a mix of clear and purple translucent materials and tight graphics, this poisonous piece has quite the visual sting.  As you’d expect from Huck and Sket, they’ve gone all out on the details including a real cork stopper and a laser etched cherry wood tag.  Additionally, the signed/numbered  8″ Dunny comes with a  custom screen printed shot glass, and a velour traveling bag.
