UO Profiles: Crocodiles

UO Profiles: Crocodiles permalink

The fuzzy, lo-fi songs of San Diego duo Crocodiles are pure, catchy pop with surprising not-so-sunny side. Fortunately, they’re not nearly as angry as they (try to) look.

Iluchka Moon Safari

Iluchka Moon Safari permalink

Iluchka is the collection of designer Ilana Bronstein, who, season after season, creates something entirely new—equal parts feminine, fun and flossy. Scroll through past collections, if only for nothing else than the customized music.

Frank Lloyd Wright Legos

Frank Lloyd Wright Legos permalink

After decades of training young builders and designers, it’s only natural that Lego should start offering kits of famous buildings. They’re launching their new architecture line with two Frank Lloyd Wright buildings: Falling Water and The Guggenheim Museum. Perfect for architecture-loving kids and Lego-loving architects.

Sure, there’s only one dude in the photo on Awkward Family Photos, but we picked it because tye-dye and shredded jeans are so hot right now.

Kim Gordon's Daryl K Vintage Collection on eBay

Kim Gordon’s Daryl K Vintage Collection on eBay permalink

Seriously, there is only one thing that could be better than scoring vintage Daryl K—and that’s scoring vintage Daryl K worn by an actual rock star—which is what you can do on our eBay store. With more than 20 items ranging from vinyl pants to tapered jeans and brocade jackets, each piece was worn by Kim Gordon and comes with an autographed tag, complete with description of when and where the item was worn. All of the proceeds will benefit Community Resources for People with Autism, a charity of Gordon’s choice.

Do you have a coworker who always asks you “What’s the capitol of Minnesota? How long do you microwave a baked potato? What time is it in Sydney?” Or a brother who calls you long distance to ask the dollar to Euro exchange rate and is it hot in Norway right now?—when you have no fucking clue about any of those things? Send them here.

The world cannot get enough Twitter. Or Twitter jokes. At least we’re praying it’s a joke—we wouldn’t want to sit through that, even if it was only two seconds long. (Via The World’s Best Ever.)

Tiny Art Director

Tiny Art Director permalink

When a parent scathingly critiques their child’s art, it’s mean. But when Bill Zeman’s daughter (age 4) scathingly critiques his art, it makes for a hilarious blog. For example, of the above monkey drawing, which was done at her request, she said “Stupid ugly angry monkey. I hate him.” Chronicle will publish a book of Zeman’s collaborations with the Tiny Art Director next spring, and she’ll probably have rejected a lot more of his work by then.

Vicolo Paglia Corta permalink

Since our Italian ends at ‘tagliatelle’ and ‘Peroni,’ we’re not 100 percent sure, but it looks like jewelry designer Vicolo Paglia Corta has made mini-Lomo cameras out of Legos, and then crafted them into pins and necklaces. Snap!
