I am super pumped about Target’s new Go International line by Rogan that is coming out tomorrow. I think I am going to trek my ass out to the Target in the middle of Brooklyn, the one no one goes to on Saturday to pick me up some animal print miniskirts and rompers. Don’t judge me.

These wheatpasted ads are apparently going up all over Canada. I think they’re rad.

Red Hook + Ikea = better chance of a real couch for me!  Opens June 18th.  I don’t care if I’m supposed to be annoyed at commercialism - I’ve never been to IKEA and it is a tragedy, I’m sorry.

This post is totally all Nora’s, but I’m helping.

it’s from the library of congress

My sister alerted me to this store that is full of awesomeness: Poketo. One area of awesomeness that they specialize in is wallets, which I think Emily should definitely look into. Examples below, as well as examples of their sweetass mofo art prints…becky, notice use of bikes…

Also, those are all just $20

now on to prints

Does anyone else think that there are a lot of hot guys on top chef? Namely Spike and Ryan??t

I really want these for Meetzers so we can take her on walks in our nabe.. (there is too much glass on the sidewalk otherwise).

.. just like this.

examples:

omg x100

I need everything in the new line of Corion by Missoni. Jesus, it’s like someone raided my mind grapes for ideas and then designed some bathrooms. Oh god, I don’t think I’ve ever seen something more aesthetically pleasing for a bathroom in my life.

ADORABLE

Defamer brings up a new Lost Mystery

My vote is for island Jack.

Ok, so this awesome man designed all the subway signs you see (yes, in helvetica) for NYC. He also designed the holy grail of subway maps, which the City rejected originally because he didn’t make the water blue and the land green, or from something stupid like that (no joke, I read it in NY Mag recently and when I have time, I’ll find it again and add a link). Anyway, Vignelli updated his map, thus making all my dreams come true.

Now Men’s Vogue is selling the prints and I’m totally considering buying one. Here’s from their website:

“Before New York’s familiar convoluted subway map was introduced in 1979, the city relied on the sleek modernist vision of Massimo Vignelli’s indelible 1972 design: each train line represented by a color, each stop by a dot. The plan was as visually utopian as it was elegant — paths running on 45- and 90-degree angles, an understated gray square marking Central Park, and type set in clear Helvetica. It was hailed as an instant classic of graphic design. But it left many feeling stranded. “People expected a map instead of a diagram,” Vignelli, 77, says. “But diagrammatic representation is common practice around the world since the London Underground map of the thirties.” Now, with some urging from Men’s Vogue, Vignelli (along with his team of Yoshiki Waterhouse and Beatriz Cifuentes-Caballero) has updated his famous, ultra-collectible plan, taking into account more than 30 years’ worth of changes. He’s still unwilling to play tour guide: “On purpose we rejected any visual reference to nature or landmarks.” Vignelli released 500 signed limited-edition art prints of the never-before-seen update — available exclusively for Men’s Vogue — with proceeds to benefit Omar Freilla’s nonprofit Green Worker Cooperatives. (The prints sold out on May 1, 2008.) The hope is to get the daily commutes — and aesthetic sensibilities — of New Yorkers back on the right track.”

the ink gradually fills in this sheet of paper with the days…it’s awesome

whatever they are, I like them a lot

and I really like this…wish we had this

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.

I sent this to Nora a while ago (before i became the intern) and she never posted it. So this is my first crap that i’m posting. There isnt much more to anything here than what’s in the title.

And here is a guy whos really good at the theremin:

Oh my god.. this is a little tempting.  Especially because I actually have experience in a) moderating user content b) cats c) a 3 person office and d) unconventional work hours.. I mean, how much does this sound like my job??

Moderators screen all submissions, moderate comments and help our users with the dangerous world of lolcats. This is a paid part-time (or possibly full-time position). Due to the nature of the site, moderators work non-standard office hours. You will be joining our team of 3 moderators in enjoying all the fun the Web can offer.

We’re looking for someone who lives in Seattle with a great sense of humor, a deep understanding and love of the Internets and a strong work ethic. Cat ownership is not required.

Crap, it’s in Seattle.  Application info here.. if you want to beat me to the punch.  Thanks to Dan for headhunting for ICHC.

I went last year at the very end and I wished I had gone both days. How can you go wrong with a pool full of arts and crafts? I totally recommend going but I’ll probably miss it because I’ll be home that weekend for medical tests. Feel sorry for me and enjoy the oodles of cuteness June 14th +15th.

Looks comfy.

How cool is this shit? It’s really cool. It’s a sink that also has a removable cutting board you can put right on top. Apparently, it’s good for cutting scallions.

they’re bracelets made from camera lenses!!

Read up on the Grilled Cheese Invitational

The Sound and the Fury is going to be showing Off Broadway.  I will DEFINITELY go to this.. (You know I love Faulkner).. who’s in??  I have no clue how it’s possible to effectively translate that novel to the stage, but I just listened to a really interesting interview about it on NPR.

Jim, a trip to NYC maybe??

More info here.

If only Meetzers had one too!  I’ll put it on her Christmas list.. er Hanukkah list.

In case I have not told you already, I’m in love with this new poster from Blue Art Studio:

It’s my dream to one day buy Dan a card catalogue for personal use, and I definitely like how this person uses one as a coffee table.

Thanks pops!

Too bad I didn’t know about this last night (Junior, I’m looking at you). This place apparently has free PBR on Tuesdays and $1 well drinks from 10-11pm. Also free hot dog with every drink everyday and cheapo pitchers. woa. Check their menu here and their myspace here.

It’s in that eastern part of Williamsburg (not actually Bushwick- for serious). I haven’t been yet but im totes interested. Who’s down? Did I mention they have ms.pac man?

I think this is cool

 Look at the wittle puggle! It’s name is Juliette. Anyway, this site popped up on my gmail today. How can a dog be Amish? And more importantly, aren’t the Amish not supposed to be using the internet to sell their goods?? And one more thing, puggles are kind of the cool new breed (they’re like the iPods of the dog world), so I’m suprised that the Amish are up on this shit.

From this guy.

That is a real lion!!  It is not stuffed. I want to snuggle it immediately.

This one would be nice. 

ORLA KIELY PAPER GOODS ARE THE ANSWER TO MY PRAYERS OH GOD I WANT THEM SO BADLY

“features a black felt faceplate, chrome keys, and a polished brass frame left unvarnished so it will develop a deep, rich patina as it ages”

Sooo great!!!

Oh my god I just want to marry it

I like these tshirts.

This is silly, but I like it.  If you want one, go here.
