sean penn: what a creeper

top-man creepers

bottega veneta creepers

what a great photo of a young sean penn by mary ellen mark. love the creepers and the eye liner makes me want to get a pair. bottega and one by top man. i actually like the top man better and i’m sure it’s at a fraction of the price.  by dd

i know, i know, it’s not cool to dress up “cool” for halloween. all guys are usually zorro and all girls are dominatrixs and only the “uber cool” end up doing something totally uncool…. but if you happen to be just “medium cool” and don’t want to feel like a total goof here are my reco’s for a couple… which is basically just another night at the wooly. by dd

white noise: tyler hays bbdw speakers


our friend tyler hays, at bddw, has done his handiwork on a pair of speakers made of white american holly. now, while scott is a sensitive and detailed guy there is no saying how much of an audio expert he is. we’ve all seen his turntables made of stone, yes, but speaker design and research takes years and requires intricate attention to drivers and cross overs, the inner cavity of the unit, resonance, and not to mention a knack for mid-range. so while the speakers are gorgeous, how they sound will be a whole ‘nother story. given the $7,500 price tag, and the amazing sounding speakers that are out there in that range, i would think the buyers will be more of an aesthetic driven bunch than a musical bunch. i’m making a note to check them out but i simply can not imagine nirvana. that said bravo to the look of the piece. simple and pure. by uh

hey: here’s an idea…


“the OWS (occupy wall street) movement announces presidential candidate for 2012”. now that would be a freakin’ smart move. shouting and getting shot at only gets you so far. leaving it to the system will get you nowhere. “____________” is named OWS candidate for november 6, 2012. register. by dd
