Supra Skytops

These limited edition 2007 Chad Muska Supra Skytops are so freakin' hot! I'm not usually into shoes like these but the color combinations, textures, and patterns make me go oogoo-gah gah. Just $119. Who wants to buy me one? :)

Thanks Jeff!

Human After All

I love these new Diesel ads.The concept seems to be set in a Star Wars-like period on Earth. It's sobering to know that even then we will still have genius and brilliance, trials and tribulations because we are human after all. The Ikea shot is great. Damn tables are deceptively complex.

Samsonite Sneaker

Samsonite is synonymous with luggage but they also have a fashion line called Samsonite Black Label where the worlds of technology and design meet. One particular item of interest is the Strap Sneaker. Samsonite calls it the perfect travel shoe and for good reason. Made from leather and exquisite breathable fabric, the shoe conforms to your foot by stretching and contracting. The shock absorpbtion system is located inside the sole instead of the bottom of the sneaker cushioning what needs it the most, your foot.

Want it? Gotta find a Samsonite retail store near you.

Some Handy Baggage

The Rotoflexion Backpack - from the article,

"It's hand baggage but not as we know it. Give the day's tensions a cold shoulder with a stress-busting massage. Instead of shoulder straps, the Rotoflexion Backpack has strong mechanical hands that grip and manipulate those knotted trapezius muscles. Powered by a rechargeable lithium ion battery, there's still room for a laptop and a Lion bar."

I want one of these NOW. Thanks Bookofjoe.

Hangers Going Green

I just ordered me 100 Ditto hangers ya'll! Yes that's the Texas comin' out in my lingo. What's a Ditto hanger? They're made from recycled paper and plastic. The company will even brand your hangers. Going green ya'll, goin green.

Keep Them Feet Cozy

I confess, I own a pair of UGGS and I live in L.A. too! Seriously it does get cold here once in awhile and that's when I break the UGGS out. Only thing is I hate the design. I want something with a bit more style and flair. That's why I like the El Roo's from Puma. It's all corduroy and shearling to keep your dogs warm while integrating that big rubber band strap found on their slip-on. It's only $85 and you can get a low-top version for $75.

Flyer Hooks So Flighty

I've been mulling with the idea of redoing my closet simply because it's the most ignored space in my home. The past couple weekends have been filled with trips to stores for ideas but those super compartmentalized closet organizers just aren't me. I want something cleaner, simple - just some hangers and racks with lighting. I want something a little whimsical but still speaks to my tech/designer sensibilities.

I'm thinking about these Flying Hooks by Bos & Couvee. The hanger is suspended from a cable and looks like a cutesy stealth bomber. I can imagine a row on them but it'll be costly. A 4-pack is $100. Oh well, it's just money right? If I don't spend it here, I'll probably buy another video game or shoes, both of which need to stop.

Yes I Know The Music

In the last month I've received 117 emails about this ad for D&G Time watches. All sorts of questions filled my inbox most of which I can't answer like, "who are those hot male models?" But I can answer one question and that's the music. The artist is called Stylophonic and the track, 'R U Experienced'.

Enjoy
