Incredible yacht design

So this yacht design is incredible. I have never seen anything like it. Of course you would expect nothing less than amazing from the collaborating duo of the director of Hermes and the director of Wally.

Check out the pictures on the site.

Take the Activia Challenge!!!! It actually sucks.

Anybody remember those annoying Activia yogurt commercials?? Where they tell you to eat the yogurt for 2 weeks and then you'll have an improved digestive system??

Well turns out thats not the case.

Trash Problems

With swine flu scares underway, I just wanted to post a unique story here.

Egypt, awhile back, thought it would be the greatest idea in the world to kill all the pigs in the country. No swine = no swine flu, but if you read the article this idea turned out to be nonsensical because swine flu does not even come from pigs.

Anyways give the article a read, it is a very interesting story about one country's social problem.

Amazing video about Urban Decay.

This is an amazing video about a tiny island in Japan. This island was the first place in the world to have a multistory cement residential building. It was also at one point in time the most densely populated place in the world.

Yo I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish...

So after Kanye West's incredibly stupid stage rush, he has now officially become an internet meme.

Here is a site dedicated to it.

I'mma Let You Finish

SNEAKS!



Shoes are my obsession. They are probably my biggest vice. I believe shoes are so great because they are small expressions of self that can be worn.

You can argue that t-shirts do the same thing, but all t-shirts have the same basic shape. Shoes on the other hand come in thousands of variations.

Complex online has posted their list of the top 100 shoes of the decade, 2000 - 2009, (not really a decade I know, but its close). Give the list a quick click through, its worth looking at.

The Sartorialist

So while I'm still in the early stages of this blog I want to introduce some of my influences in hopes that they become influential to you too.

One such influence is The Sartorialist. He started this blog just to show who he thought looked great.

So it's become more than that, he has a column for GQ, and now recently came out with a book. I think what makes him influential is that his photography is top notch and his observations about people and their style aren't simple. He delves deeper than most.

ex: It is great to find a DB sportcoat that actually feels sporty.

Usually they are too long, too square, and too boring.

The big trick to why this jacket looks so cool is how slim the sleeve is in the upper arm.

If there is one alteration that guys don't do enough it is having the sleeves slimmed down on a suit. That separation between upper arm and chest drops ten pounds on the look of an average guy - try it you'll see.

So give his blog a read or a look, its worth it.

A Collection Saved

If anyone has been following Anne Leibovitz's financial troubles, then you'll be happy to know that her assets have not been taken over by Art Capital.

In light of this I will post my favorite photos from her famed Disney shoot. Try to spot all the stars.

Back to Blog

So I'm starting to blog again.

I just want to start my first post by saying that the Blueprint III might be the rap album of the year. Go Listen to it if you haven't.

Also Kid Cudi is back on a roll with The Pursuit of Happiness. The features on this song is something out of the ordinary.

Also seeing Calvin Harris tonight.
