a visual collective outlet of inspiration
the capital of the world, and the united states’ most intellectual and progressive state has finally approved what two individuals can call a marriage. this past friday, new york state joined the state of iowa and the liberal coquille indian tribe of oregon, to become the sixth US state to approve gay marriage. wow! we are inching forward after all, aren’t we? mind you, this advanced country still considers it illegal in 44 of its 50 states, while our fellow citizens in argentina, canada, iceland, netherlands, norway, portugal, spain, sweden, and even south africa have come to terms with it for some time now. this event will surely upset the moral majority and the religious bigots of the world who somehow still think they can tell the world how to dress, live and not to think. i myself, frankly could care less about marriage. it’s a piece of paper, often unrelated to love or a promise as evident in billions of cases, and simply a silly ceremony created by man and sworn to some god that apparently no one believes in, as death seldom do’s them apart… it’s as absurd as religion itself, or the colorful human sacrifices of the past, however in the fallible society we live in, this piece of paper controls everything from child rights to insurance to taxes and death. so i ask, why should a good citizen of any state be neglected of the rights and advantages it brings? what harm could this possibly impose on others? and last, who the hell are we to meddle in the beliefs and sexual affairs of others? after all fascism clearly wasn’t the way, was it now? may the force be with all you deviant folks. dog bless. by dd

celine tote leather bags
i was at barney’s a few months ago where i picked up my 2nd goyard tote and finally saw these celine bags that we wrote about in 2010. i seriously considered them, for almost a $1,000, a few hundred less than the goyard canvas and gum totes, these ubber soft leather bags are a clear choice, however i ended up with the goyard as i just could not see these celines handling the weight of my laptop on a daily basis. that said this is perhaps the last frontier that has yet to be knocked off by the exclusive ateliers on canal street. so at least you’ll be in style for a few more months. by dd
nagra 300-i: 20 watt integrated tube power amplifier
another beautiful audio object from swiss manufacturer nagra. price per value this unit is not as attractive as its pure aesthetic. for approximately $25,200 (17,750 euros), the approx cost of the 300i, much better sounding units can be excavated, and frankly i personally think anything over $10,000 is a bit of an ostentatious endeavor, but if money was not an issue this is indeed a beautiful piece, not only to listen to, but also stare at. type: integrated amplifier, power: 2x 20w, 15hz to 55khz -3db, total harmonic distortion: 0.8 %, valves: 300b push -pull. by xy

kate middleton’s wedding dress vs. my moms
i had never seen kates infamous wedding dress but when i saw it i was rather surprised at all the fuss, after all i had seen pics of my mom in a very similar dress all my life… i still don’t get the fuss, its just a wedding dress and i have yet to see one that is impressive.
on another note here’s my dad vs. pablo picasso, must say my dad had nicer lips, but pablo beats my dad in his line drawings ; ) by mh

dieter rams – as little design as possible
phaidon is releasing a book on dieter rams, it’s called “as little design as possible” and i think it’s pretty nice to be able to see the places where designers ( or artists or whoever) work. i always found so inspiring to see studios and homes… well that’s maybe my “voyeur” side… anyway, here we see that mister rams stick to his guns, studios are as strict as the design! by pp.
