Nope, you're not hallucinating
This is Karl Lagerfeld's interpretation of SpongeBob. Yup.
Hype
Dunno which has gotten more attention, this t-shirt and it's mystical powers of attracting the opposite sex or...that vampire/werewolf movie.
Someone was having a good time
A sports memorabilia collector has gathered over 5,000 (unused) condoms left over from the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and is auctioning them off. Each condom has been stamped with the slogan, "faster, higher, stronger. The starting price is equivalent to $.15. The condoms are the remainder of a 100,000 production run that were distributed free to the athletes who competed in the games.
Ok, so let's do the math: only 5,000 left out of 100,000. Thats a lot of sex. Especially in the time-span of the olympic games!
Be happy you're not homeless in Russia
A news report is claiming that a group of homeless men have killed, dismembered, and ate parts of a 25-year old man, and then sold the rest of his body parts to a nearby fast food stand.According to the official site of the local Investigative Committee of the Prosecutor's office, three homeless men killed the victim out of "personal enmity."
"They stabbed him several times with a knife and a hit him with a hammer. The victim died at the scene of the crime," the site reports.
All three of the perpetrators, who have previous criminal records, have been detained. If convicted, they face up to 15 years in prison.
Leave it to Philly....
In local news, two local college students, Leslie Pope & John Wagner, were arrested for refusing to pay a $16.35 gratuity after they claimed they received horrible service.Pope is quoted as saying, "You can't give us terrible, terrible service and expect a tip", a 22-year-old Pottsville Native and Moravian College senior.
The two culprits were there with a group of friends and claim that they had to get their own napkins and silverware.
Keep in mind that it clearly says "an 18% gratuity will be added to the check of parties six or more", on the menus and receipts of the Lehigh Valley Pub.
The two pleaded not guilty and a court date is scheduled for next month.
What do I think? I'm sure they're exaggerating on how poor the service really was. Stop being spoiled brats and pay your gratuities. If, as they claim, they ordered, "Only a salad and chicken wings, and were drinking soda", how does your check get to $73?? Yea, right.
Homoerotic furniture
I think they threw the girl in at the end as that last defensive "I'm not gay" plea.

LeicaHermes
I love it when 2 supercool brands come together for a holy crap, that's amazing moment. Altho, their partnership is way passed honeymoon, the results are so beautiful, it's exactly like new news, except old.This is their latest offering set at a whopping $15K
The original was only $10K back in 2003.
p.s. I hope this is the picture of the right camera. regardless, i'll take it.
Bacon is so uber omniscient
I swear I called the trend (waaaaay) more than a year ago (even tho oureditor-in-chief says Bacon has been hot for years - I think he's just jealous of my seer like abilities in calling incredibly unimportant trends).
Bacon flovored envelopes. This is just smart thinking. Smart. Savory. Practical. Thinking.
They're called Mmmvelopes.
Smizzy in the HOUSE...

Trend Spotting: When Trends Go Bad
Fashion designers can find inspiration in the most obscure of places, and sometimes it's a masterpiece. However, sometimes they leave you scratching your head, wondering, who the f*ck would ever wear that? Is there ever a good time to dress like Chewbacca or a strawberrry? Even on Halloween, the answer is no. Here are the best of the worst.
Muppet Babies
From Animal & Fozzie Bear inspired hats & shirts, to just plain wrong Skittle-colored fur, Kermit, Miss Piggy, & the whole crew have invaded the runways. Just don't do it people. Its not cute, as a matter of fact, its ridiculous.
(All looks by Jean-Charles de Castelbajac)
(Zac Posen, Valentino, Sonia Rykel)
Breast Appeal
I know that women all over the world were just waiting for the moment where they could walk around with their titties out, and have the excuse that some sort of flimsy fabric is draped over them to say they are dressed appropriately. Actually, the only proper occasion to be rockin' this in the privacy of your own bedroom with your man, or the strip club.
(Vena Cava, Salvatore Ferragamo, Preen)
(VPL, Michael Kors, House of Holland)
Star Wars
Ok, so Futurism & space inspired gear can be cool... as long as you don't end up looking like Darth Vader or a Jedi Knight. Unless you're a closet Trekkie, we wouldn't suggest going on in public like this.
(AF Vandevorst, Narciso Rodriguez, VPL)
(Gareth Pugh, Johnathan Saunders , David Elfin)
(Givenchy, Christian Siriano, Christian Dior)
Grandma's Couch
Prints like this should have died in the 70s. Maybe we should burn them at the stake to keep them from resurrecting again?
(Charlotte Ronson, Balenciaga, Aquascutum)
Strawberry Fields
Well, it should go without saying that dressing up as a strawberry in a top hat is not a good look. Do we even have to tell you not to wear this "trend"? (We hope not.)
(Antoni & Alison ,YSL)
ok, one more
from the same website. i'm feeling guilty, but i'm still not telling!A branded alphabet with a computer theme..kinda funny? maybe? ok, maybe.
pretty things
yes, yes, i just saw some pretty pix of odd things and stole them from another website.so what?
this is an LED dress, yo! Wonder if this will also shut down Boston? Sam.
and a mona lisa motherboard.
Totally worth stealing. and isn't that what blogging is all about anyway?
Piggly Wiggly Super Markets (best name ever!)
I didn't realize that there were actual comebacks to cheesy pick up lines...
barcodes can be pretty.
Japanese firm, d-barcode, make bar codes pretty (or insert adjective of choice).if you're into that sorta thing.
and have money.
Swiffer spoof
from the Big Gay Sketch Show who takes it to the only logical place...swiffer as stalker.Watch Gay Video & Lesbian Movies
There's a whole Beatles/Apple/Comme Des Garcons thing going on
It's kinda old news by now, but here is what Rei Kawakubo came up with for Comme Des Garcons collaboration with The Beatles, released today.
I want to like this so badly. I really do. I'm gonna sleep on it.
Kissing Gum
Only the latin people...and, note the grotesque difference between the guy and the girl. Why, why, why?
ummm, what?
Jimmy Choo is going to have a collection for H&M? and clothes? Only available in 200 stores worldwide. DAMN.
Viagra turns 10
awwwwwww....And for any of you who can't recognize in-your-face subtlety. The candle represents a penis.
This is a sneaker commercial
It incorporates smooth moves, a dj and washing dishes. Of course it's a sneaker commercial. And how much money would I pay to say party like these dudes?For a seriously odd campaign, click here.
Mrs O The Face of Fashion Democracy
Dunno about this. Altho, the most interesting part (?) is that this book results from a blog.Of particular note... the reading rainbow soundtrack.
