The Uniform Project



I just read about Sheena Matheiken's Uniform Project on Good. I kind of want to adopt my own black dress uniform. It's like you get to decorate the cake every morning without having to bake it. She's doing it as “an exercise in sustainable fashion.” I'd be doing purely out of laziness.

Here's the premise..."There are 7 identical dresses, one for each day of the week. Every day I will reinvent the dress with layers, accessories and all kinds of accouterments, the majority of which will be vintage, hand-made, or hand-me-down goodies."

And she's really cute. I see her and want to be her.

BEANZAWAVE

I'd pay $120 for hot beans.

"The USB-powered gadget is the smallest, portable microwave oven all over the world which obtains energy from a computer. With a volume of 7.4″×2.6″×5.9″, the pocket-size device won’t take up too much space even on a workbench. What about hot puree during overtime? Yummy!
Selling Price:$160"

Andy is way resourceful.


So this "font" was just posted on Kitsune Noir. Andy at Reference Library created/swiped it from the balloon maniacs website. Those hokey balloons look really great all together. I'm using it on some party invitations right now. This Andy guy is my NBF (new best friend).

eye candy 6.11


Love this video.
The band: We Have Band
The track: "You Came Out"
It was created (not really sure what that means? Did they come up the concept? Were they the creative team on it? Anyway...) by the W+K creative team Ida Gronblom & Fabian Berglund.
The video was directed by David Wilson from Blinkink.
(I've already forgotten where I saw this.)

"So I'm not screwed by a bear"

I know these are all over, but When Isabella Rosellini says Vagina over and over, I laugh like a 8 year old on the school bus. Just in case you haven't seen them... check out all of the clips at green porno.

This might be the best one...

urbanerific.

Lets look inside my Urban Outfitter shopping cart, shall we...Bowling Pin Light
Hanging Glass Bottle Votive Holder
Marquee Alphabet Light

Fun stuff.
Cheap stuff.
Just trying to make sure my house doesn't get too grown up.
(Not that there was really any fear of that happening.)

Slide your mouse from Bart...
...to Lucy.Creepy cool. lucyandbart.com(via swissmiss)

Their work is even creepy cooler....
"LucyandBart is a collaboration between Lucy McRae and Bart Hess described as an instinctual stalking of fashion, architecture, performance and the body. They share a fascination with genetic manipulation and beauty expression. Unconsciously their work touches upon these themes, however it is not their intention to communicate this. They work in a primitive and limitless way creating future human shapes, blindly discovering low – tech prosthetic ways for human enhancement."
