Elizabeth: i need more chuck and less serena crying

PS - GG totally stressed me out this week.   I can’t deal with Dan and Serena drama right now, it’s heartbreaking.

This pic cracks me up for some reason.   Lionel Richie looks like he might drop Harlow and his shirt is hilarious considering this is a shoot for Harpers Bazaar.

I kind of want this, but am now realizing what a terrible idea it would be.  Mostly because it’s called “figure skating dress” and is actually a cross between a bathing suit and dress-up.  And a lot of spandex.  Forget you, American Apparel!

Defamer brings up a new Lost Mystery

My vote is for island Jack.

This is what comes up first when you Google Image Search ‘coolest shit ever’.

is anyone else excited about American Apparel selling their used shit online besides me?

Their ‘line’ or curated ebay collection or whatever is called California Select. The name is a little lame bit hopefully the clothes will be cooler.

totally confused. I’ve watched this about 100 times…what happens to my brain when it makes the assumption?

I love the NY Times House & Home section. It’s the best thing about Thursdays, and it’s easily my favorite resource for all things design-related and all things just plain awesome. Here’s an example of why:

That’s an audio slideshow about a new home (pictured above) built by architects Madeline Gins and Arakawa. Gins and Arakawa sound certifiably insane. They build houses and apartments that try to extend life and reverse “destiny” (aka, avoid death) through architecture. The homes don’t have normal floors, they have playground terrains that are hilly and covered in wort-like bumps.

I really want to write these people off and say they’re nuts, but I find myself totally drawn to their work. While I would want to put in more conventional flooring, the house’s fluid lines, bright colors and playfulness are outstanding, and definitely inspiring. I love the exterior paint.

I do love how the reporter interviewing Gins and Arakawa remains skeptical throughout the interview. She does explain the merit of their work, but I like how she still conveys that “still smells a little like bullshit in here” message. I agree. It’s a pretty cool thing these architects are doing, but man do they sound like a bunch of busters. And that picture of the dog looking terrified as he tries to walk along the weirdo floor? Absolutely worth 1000 words.

FYI, all the images in this post are from Gins’ and Arakawa’s website, ReversibleDestiny.org

And yes, I know this is a lot more text that I usually include in my posts, but I’m at work right now and feeling pretty inspired by these psychos.

Um, you make jeans.. obvs! But, not so fast, fools.. Damien Hirst pants go for $80,00.
