chinese knock off action figure toys

Knock offs are nothing new, everyones out to make a dime, see ebay. What makes these exceptional are the names they come up with as if somehow they elude copyright infringement. But even better, its as if they hired a low IQ koala to write up the names. Ill let the rest speak for itself.

This looks like it was shot on a 5d, I can almost spot these videos now, the colors always slightly oversaturated and high in contrast. The video looks informal yet very photographic at the same time, intimate even. For all these reasons, this filmmaking approach matches my perception of Norah Jones music to the T. I enjoy the way they edited and cropped the shots as well. Very fun. I always feel like she is the type of musician you listen to in a smokey room in the lower east side or echo park with 20 people drinking wine and whiskey, and I mean that in a good way. Very enjoyable.

puma-africa-lifestyle-collection: Really?

My main issue this this line is not the design surprisingly, I actually rather like the patterns and photo treatment, as well as the layouts and how they all fit together. I just get an uneasy, awkward and even offended vibe from all white models wearing very african inspired clothes patterned in black people. It seems very forced and kind of making fun and exploiting african culture as oppose to celebrating it by making a corporate driven fashion statement of it.  I feel like the models are a sneeze shy of wearing 90s african medallions. Not feeling it.

Super fresh Ooms solar birdhouse

I dont even know the last time I even noticed a bird minus the pigeon that stole my chicken leg from Daphnes a few months back. But, if I did, Id have much love for the birds and hook the lil homies up with one of these solar powered birdhouses so they could leave eco-friendly and long life styles as well as know where to land for night flights when coming home. Only thing is, wouldnt the glow in the dark stick let the racoons and predators know where they are? We wont worry about that just yet.

Anyone whos been to this part of Italy or even close can imagine how beautiful a visit here would be. Nothing like relatively restrained yet modern interior design to cushion an already cushiony vacation experience. This doesnt look entirely 5 star but very airy and comfortably chic, and I mean whats not to adore about the gulf of naples. Thx for the link matthew!

Im only sleeping on this release because Ive seen it on every major streetwear blog already, so by the time you get this the hype will have subsided a bit but be revamped because you are reading this. My point is it is worth the reminder. His motto a la Pac Div should be ‘go tell yer momma cuz im a mutha fuckin playerrrrrrrrr’.  Matt rocks his signature shapes no different than normal, but the context of them on these sunglasses are so amazing, intricate, vibrant and just right. I am going to get a pair as soon as you stop reading this, or may already have.

The possibilities are sooooo endless with this with jsut a basic understanding of physics and 3d modelling. Ive always wanted one of these to make vinyl toys but This could be equally useful for door knobs or hooks around the house. And all for under 500 bucks! A laser cutting home printer! Love it!

new iphone model

As my homey will put it, this was deliberately left at a bar for someone to find and post as an accidently leak that was not at all accidental. Or, its a fake. Either way, Im feeling it. The more box like shape is a bit 80s but very much to my liking. I was getting a little tired of the increasingly more rounded phone designs that suggest you sat on them for 5 hours in the heat of the desert drunk on the way to coachella after an Arbys pillaging.

Oh my god this dude blabs on in the article about god knows what architectural theory wise, but to make a long story very short this is the sickest gold design house in the desert somewhere EVER. All the staples of beautiful, minimal and elegant modern interior design are present, then at points a certain precision ornate touch is added, and topped with painting and covering the whole place gold. If you want to escape city life or simply want a compound to drink and drug yourself silly this is your spot, and with style.

This place looks like a bunker, then you go inside and its like bam! luxury. But not in that everthings new sort of way, but in the I hired a dude to design my spot that knows what he is doing and i need to trust him and stop micromanaging sort of way. Bra-fuckin-vo!!!!!

ferrari with a side car/motorcycle

by admin on April 18, 2010

…At least that is how I googled it. I dont think its a ferrari but that its shiny red is good enough for me. There is a fair amount that practically doesnt work so well but its such an eye catcher form wise that it well out does the lack of function.
