Hillary Lang permalink
These pincushions by Hillary Lang of Wee Wonderfuls are the epitome of cuteness. We want to eat them, even though we usually don’t snack on felt. (Via sfgirlbybay.)

We love this playground in the Cherry Creek Shopping Center. Who needs swings and monkey bars, when you can have bacon slides and giant fried eggs?

The Man Who Souled The World permalink
If you’re in any way offended by the above image, you’re going to have to take it up with Steve Rocco. The man behind World Industries/Big Brother Magazine, and the subject of the new documentary The Man Who Souled The World, Rocco singlehandedly wreaked havoc in -and re-ignited- the early 90s skateboarding industry.

The Silver Ages permalink
Lock up your grandmothers! It’s The Silver Ages, specializing in drinking and singing traditional close harmony men’s chorus tunes from the early 20th century. Um…yeah, we can’t even sorta explain this, but we love it a lot. Basically, a bunch of dudes from Philly indie bands thought it would be a good idea to form a glee club. Really. And it turns out they were right! Even Jens Lekman thinks so. Catch them before they get signed to a major and sell out like all the other glee clubs.

Stay Classy Philly - Part 2 permalink
A survey of more than 60,000 people at Travelandleisure.com determined Philadelphia home to the most unattractive people in the country. And it doesn’t end there: The people of Philly were then crowned least stylish, least active, least friendly and least worldly. Travel & Leisure editors try to soften the blow by adding, “We were asking people to vote on attractiveness, not unattractiveness. (We) believe there are a lot of attractive people in Philadelphia.”
