From Japan 05/08/09Migh-T Pillow Bag permalinkHow many times have we been stuck in a plane, train or automobile and wished we had a cushy pillow for our head? Too many too count. Maybe we should just buy the Migh-T Dream Pillow Bag, and never have to worry about it again. |
From Japan 05/06/09Diet Butcher Slim Skin permalinkWhy shop at metalburger.com? Because they have “famous people in the forest” print hoodies, that’s why. |

From Japan 02/18/09Yuken Teruya permalinkTo create his ”Notice Forest” series, artist Yuken Teruya cuts out one side of a disposable paper bag to create a tree, which he then stands inside it. The result is the most beautiful thing to ever—inadvertently—come out of McDonald’s. Catch them currently at the Museum of Arts and Design‘s Second Lives exhibition. |

From Japan 11/19/08Cosmic Wonder Light Source and Kim Gordon permalinkThe fashion arm of nebulous spiritual entity Cosmic Wonder, Cosmic Wonder Light Source, created Mind/Body Training with Gordon for their AW collection, which was spotlit in a deliberately austere and beautiful portfolio in Purple. |
From Japan 11/13/08BlueNotch Leather Pants permalinkWith the cold months rapidly approaching I’ve been searching the out best leather pants and short of sewing up my own, I think this pair I came across from BlueNotch are exactly what I’m looking for.

From Japan 06/26/08“Reversible Destiny” Lofts permalinkBuilt by a pair of artist/architects who believe that “It’s immoral that people have to die”, these reversible destiny lofts are intended to outlaw aging and it’s consequences.
