The Animal Print Shop by Sharon Montrose.

August 20th, 2010 · 1 Comment

The Animal Print Shop makes me think of the segment on The Tonight Show when Jay Leno features animal experts. It’s my favorite thing ever. No one ever really knows how the baby lemur will act — will he eat his banana or pretend to pick bugs from Jay’s hair. The unexpectedness of the whole thing draws me in. I imagine while Ms. Montrose [...]

When, I saw these ads by Allan Peters for Proximity Minneapolis, I immediately thought of [...]

mullen’s 80 Penguins campaign.

July 19th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Have you noticed the cheeky penguins popping up around Boston’s subway stations? If you’re not Boston-based, let me fill you in. There’s Roast Beef, the ladies man who won’t mate for life; Plum Pudding, the bad boy who stands his ground when it comes to fish; Lillico, the petite female whose people insist she’s not a diva [...]

glitsh: j’adore krink.

July 13th, 2010 · No Comments

Last night I got home from work and spent the first hour peering over Ryan’s shoulder as he introduced me to Glitsh — a Swedish artist who dabbles in subversive art. He’s sent artwork to Paris Hilton and Jeffrey Deitch, replaced domino cookies with domino pieces, and modified a Taschen book on Luciano Fontana. Glitsh, [...]

sometimes you need to tag that hide . . .

July 7th, 2010 · 1 Comment

Unless you live in Texas that is. According to Snapple Real Fact #909, it’s illegal graffiti someone’s cow! Well, it is Texas after all, beef is no joke! (Remember Oprah’s law suit?) Anyway, Ryan tried his hand at tagging the cow’s hide — Moo!  Now, it’s your turn!

June 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment

I am really excited to tell you about Trephin, a new salon that our friends (and stylists) Brian Rand and Moe Smith are opening in Boston in July. The inspiration behind the salon’s name comes from a trephine, which is a drill used to perform a trephination — a procedure in which a doctor drills [...]

  Over the weekend I received the July issue of Architectural Digest – if you’re a Cher fan, you’ll want to pick up this copy, she gives a tour through her new LA duplex apartment, which overlooks the city and was designed by Martin Lawrence-Bullard. However, it actually wasn’t the intimate look inside the diva’s new Buddhist [...]

evian lives young with more dancing babies.

June 19th, 2009 · No Comments

Do you remember the Evian campaign a few year’s ago that parodied the film Bathing Beauty and featured more than 60 babies performing aqua aerobics while singing “Bye-Bye Baby?” No? Well, that’s OK, because you can watch it again here. Pretty cute huh? Since the original ads were such a huge success, Evian decided to [...]
