Hardee, the Carl’s Junior of the Midwest and Southeast regions of the United States employed Padma Lakshmi to use her tongue more for licking than for speech in this commercial ad. If she doesn’t give you a heart attack, this burger probably will. You really think Padma Lakshmi will pull into a drive through and order this? She definitely got paid royally for endorsing Hardee’s flavors…as paid as Common when he endorsed Microsoft’s Softwear.
The quality frame manufacture Super and Barneys Co-Op New York features part two in their collab. The frames are designed with intertwining metallic streaks combined with a Zeiss Gold 24k lens and of course is based on the Super Ciccio Style. The product is limited to 50 pieces and is available only at Barneys CO-OP in New York. I’m really feeling the aesthetic marriage between the original tortoise shell look and wood-grain. Peep part one of the co-op here.
For those heading to SXSW, look out for Supra’s presence. Supra collaborated with Stubb’s Bar-B-Q. A definite out-of-the-box collaboration indeed but a product of the 413 series. Partnering up with Spin Magazine and Stubb’s BBQ, Supra is proud to present the Stubb’s Skytop.
The Skytop takes its name from one of the best places to eat and see live music in Austin, Texas and takes its look from their world famous barbecue sauce. To coincide with this release, we have created a special edition package that will only be sold at Stubb’s Bar-B-Q this Friday in Austin, Texas (address below).
With all this holiday madness at hand, it’s easy to miss great items sitting in plain sight when shopping. Luckily I took care of most my shopping online yet I still had the urge to step foot into the busy streets of Union Square, SF. Without intentions, I made haste at Urban Outfitters and crossed paths with a wonderful wooden packaged box labeled “Ritual“. It’s pretty evident that I have a thing for wood grain but the package design was well executed and branded so it deserved some attention. Upon further fascination I discover this is a product for men who would like to spend more “quality time” in their bathrooms. Allow me to explain, Ritual embraces the daily “Triple S” (shit, shave and shower) like a good parent to their kids vegetable diet.
Swiss furniture manufacturer Horgenglarus was awarded the Best Scenario prize at the recently held Designers’ Saturday show in Langenthal, Switzerland. The numerous descending lighting fixtures resembles the fallen leaves which give way to a poetic crunch once in contact with another object. The installation looks as fragile as the leaves themselves. Well played.
As a kid, I always had a hard time describing where I lived to friends. Our cul-de-sac didn’t have much of a recognizable landmark. The following structure designed by the Japanese duo Torafu has no problem with the recognition factor. This unique one story structure located in Yokohama, Japan resembles that of a chip off the Fortress of Solitude. The concrete structure’s interior bears the look of a gallery with flat white walls throughout the house. The roof lighting system pulls the airy tall ceilings and flat white walls together and fills the cabin with calming natural light.
55DSL collaborates with Japanese jewelry line, Complete Technique to release an exclusive speaker pendant. To commemorate the new line, a celebration will ensue at the 55DSL store in NYC tomorrow. The joint venture will feature this exclusive pendant available solely at the 55DSL in NYC. Doors open from 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm and music will be provided by “Future Shock” which includes the stars from the upcoming MTV move, “Made in Queens” and an open bar provided by Red Bull (with vodka, of course).

Oakland stand up! The East Bay native we call Raphael Saadiq came a long way from Tony! Toni! Toné! and Lucy Pearl to drop his fourth LP entitled The Way I See It featuring Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder & Joss Stone.

Saadiq has six shows left in his tour US tour promoting this album. Check him out if he happens to be in your city. Until then, listen to the album in full here.

Released in 2007, Loic Prigent filmed a documentary that looked into the life of designer Marc Jacobs and his career as creative director at Louis Vuitton. This DVD contains footage from a party in NYC, a press conference in Tokyo and random rants of personal inspiration. It also provides an insight in to the working process of designing goods for Louis Vuitton. It’s interesting to see how similar (and different) the working process that of a fashion designer. Below are three clips from the DVD to get your beak wet as well as a quote from Vogue.
