The usually classic brand, went a little more contemporary with this one, offering it in a silver colorway with a narrow strap going over the laces. Thanks to hypebeast for the story.

Love in 2 Dimensions

A Japanese man has been rallying people to sign petitions and petition courts to allow for marriage between cartoon characters and humans stating:

"I am no longer interested in three dimensions. I would even like to become a resident of the two-dimensional world"..."However, that seems impossible with present-day technology. Therefore, at the very least, would it be possible to legally authorise marriage with a two-dimensional character?"

The man has received over 1000 signatures to his petition, although he hasn't given out his own name or contact information, he seems very dedicated to his cause. And, considering marriage is on the decline in Japan as well as being redefined worldwide, maybe this isn't such a bad idea, I mean Super Man is Hot...

Philip Michael Wolfson DeSIGn

Philip Michael Wolfson combines a unique approach to design, as informed by the dynamics of fracture and fragmentation - layering and manipulating his materials into fluid shapes and forms, where shadow and reflection are an integral part of the seduction of the work.

Trick or Treat

Just a little something really sick to get you in the Halloween spirit....

Giving a whole new meaning to Trick or Treat, a man who lured his wife into his garage saying it was a haunted house he was setting up, will be getting 12 years in prison for attempted murder. 

Almost a year ago, Sean A Jennings told his unsuspecting wife that he wanted to show her the haunted house he was setting up in their garage. When she entered the dark room he blindfolded her and walked her up a ladder where he placed a noose around her neck. Once he saw her losing consciousness he decided he couldn't go through with it and let her down. He later told police he thought it was easier to hang her than to get a divorce. I guess he's going to be wear an orange jumpsuit this year. That's what I call...a gag ;)

What an EXPERIENCE

I was pretty offended when Chris Martin and Bono covered Whats Going On? by Marvin Gaye and even more offended when Limp Bizkit covered Behind Blue Eyes by The Who, but nothing truly kills that spirit of a legend like attaching their name to an energy drink. Liquid Experience is the new energy drink claiming...


    "With impossible riffs, mystical lyrics and outrageous amp-torturing innovations, Jimi shattered musical convention, while uniting the world in an electrified celebration of peace, love and purpose. This new energy drink is a tribute to Jimi's legacy, the Jimi Hendrix Experience and their everlasting influence on music and those who play an create it. So pop one open, turn up your favorite Hendrix tune and toast the legend whose genius still inspires people all around the world."

-hendrixliquidexperience.com

Personally the only experience I'm getting from this drink is a slight twitch. I'm pretty sure there's only one drink Jimi would consider endorsing and it goes by the name of JACK.

Food for Thought

Art collective People Food, made up of an artist, musician, poet, writer, DJ and a creative mind, (which are accurate descriptions of one and all of its members). Daniel Stessen as well as The Gray Kid, Gary Guntlove, David Stokes and Weity, have been churning out interesting commentaries on pop culture and creating their own culture since People Food was created over the course of 2006, right about the time I met them.


Their website is intriguing, their initiative is ingenious and the parties they throw are intoxicating (OK that was cheesy but you get it)

just a taste.....


 
WHO ELSE IS DOING THIS?


Also check out the newest video by Dan Stessen, its for the band Illinois. The song is called Hang On. Check it out, its making its debut on spin.com

Hilarious New Durex Ads

Tesla S

The Model S is an all-new 4-door 5-passenger zero-emissions luxury sedan powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. Unlike the Tesla Roadster, which is built in partnership with Lotus in the U.K. and based on a stretched Elise platform, the Model S will ride on a platform developed by Tesla. Tesla says the Model S will get about 240 miles per charge while still offering "exceptional performance." Numbers being bandied about include 0–60 mph in less than 6 seconds. Do the Electric Slide and get your lease on!
