Stampy Camera

Another super creation by a Korean!
Designed by Jinhee Kim, the following shpeel is written by herself, introducing the new stampy camera!

Why would you want a digital camera that doubles up as a rubber stamp? Why? The answer is simple….just for fun! As of now digicams offer a variety of options and modes (sepia, landscape etc.) to take pictures and edit them. Stampy Digital Camera gives you the option of creating a rubber-stamp version of your photograph, so that you stamp it onto any sheet of paper or surface. If you ask me, the best way to tweak this concept will be to have it stamp out pictures in multi colors instead of the single red. What do you think?

I have a Countach in my living room

I try to pass on putting up architecture posts, but here’s a house with a 9 car garage with a car elevator so you can enjoy viewing one of them in the living room. House was designed by Takuya Tsuchida and is located in Tokyo. Jealous much?

Katy Perry + Russell Brand

 

 

So was it just me who didn't know that Katy Perry has lately ended her long-term-on-and-off relationship with Travie McCoy and had engaged to Russell Brand?

//

It just came up to me one day and I decided to randomly research on Russell Brand after the watching the movie 'Get Him To The Greek'. Because I am a huge fan of Travie McCoy's first single 'Billionaire' with Bruno Mars, I was quite sad to hear that these two has separated. I'm still very happy for Russell Brand and Katy Perry as a couple because they are undoubtfully cute together and they both certainly have super good taste in clothing.

Oh lastly though, did everyone know that Travie McCoy is the cousin of Tyga from Young Money Records? I clearly didn't know and I was in shock after shock when I found out all these on.. Wikipedia.

WORD UP

Okay, Let's admit it - we're all huge scrabble nerds.
We love it.

And now, Scrabble and fashion have come together in British designer Katarina Louise’s new jewelry line She’s transformed vintage Scrabble letters into rings and necklaces, making the word game cool again.

They’re only about $15 each, so you can stock up on all your favorite letters.

P.S. Pixie Lott and Alexa Chung are supposedly huge fans of the line.

Wonder if they’re Scrabble geeks, too?

LV: Pele, Zidane & Maradona

I JUSTT
saw this ad behind my dad's Golf Digest magazine and literally yelled WHAT??
I mean yes, it is that time of the year (world cup), where every brand, designer, magazines are casting the soccer heroes on their main door, but this was something I did not expect to see. Maybe I should have! Because Louis Vuitton has been quite illustrative with social propogandas through their 'Journey' division.
//
Anyhow the photograph has been taken by the famous Annie Leibovitz and has been photographed at Cafe Maravillas, Madrid, Spain. It is basically portraying the worldcup 2010 by displaying the 3 legendary players from 3 different countries battling the 'game of soccer' and questioning who is going to win.
//
I really like this ad.
I mean I have always been a fan of Leibovitz' journey series as they are simple and easy.

Star Wars x Adidas x Daft Punk

siccckkkk...

Louis Vuitton: Hair CUBE

The following Louis Vuitton hair tie is reatiled for CAD$330.

//

Uhm.. Shocking? I think so

//

Would you be willing to drop serious cash on a designer item so small, rarely anyone even notices? Something like this? I'm not. Especially when there are so many cheap (and cute) look alikes are out there. We’ll just wait and splurge on a real LV statement piece instead. Until then, we’ll take Hello Kitty hair accessories any day

MASSIVE ATTACK - Paradise Circus (Heligoland 2010)

Heligoland, Massive Attack (EMI).

The group of trip-hop has worked with Damon Albarn, Guy Garvey, Elbow, but Adrian Utley of Portishead.


It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over 'cause we're uncomfortable
oh where the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.
It's unfortunate that when we feel a storm
we can roll ourselves over when we're uncomfortable
oh well the devil makes us sin
but we like it when we're spinning in his grip.
Love is like a sin my love
For the one that feels it the most
Look at her with her eyes like a flame
She will love you like a fly will never love you, again

Burberry: Emma Watson & Geroge Craig

I think they are super cute together - better than Emma Watson's ex boyfriend I have to say. The ex .... just didn't look like a boyfriend to mee! So moving on, George Craig and Emma Watson met on the photoshoot for Burberry Prorsum and he is currently the lead singer of the British indie band One Night Only. They are both 19, and Emma Watson has just recently featured in his new music video 'Say You Don't Want It'

Here's the link if anyone wants to see it! I think it's cute, and it's got some bizzare ending that everyone should watch out for as they see this :)

Star Wars: Mimobot USB

C-3PO and R2D2, the famed droids of the Star Wars films, are totally helpful when it comes to tech demands, so it’s quite perfect that they have now been reinvented as flashy USB flash drives by Mimoco.

//

Each holds 2 GB of info & comes preloaded with exclusive, Star Wars and Mimobot content like special sound software plus icons and avatars, wallpapers & more!!

I would love to carry something like this adorable, but I mean it is only 2GB; that is definitely the downhill for me. And yes, as much as they are cuteeee.....they are $36 each at fredflare.com

Windows and Mac compatible, approximately 2.375” long

Star Wars: LIGHTSABER CHOPSTICKS

WHAT!!
//

Picture says it all, this doesn't even need a word. Whether you're a star wars fan or not, I must say that this is very eye catching. This is apparently $30 per pair, which is sorta non-sense to me unless this starts to glow whenever we use it.
//
It's still cute. I wouldn't mind getting one for christmas.

Betseyville Cat-Illac

The cat-illac series is desgined by betsey johnson which comes with different colours, and styles of the bags. It is part of the Betseyville, which is the lower quality compared to the REAL REAL Betsey Johnson bags, but its got the name worthy, decent quality and most of all, an affordable price!

//

Both bags on the top is my favourite two of the cat-illac collection and they are US$98 - I mean which is really not bad! As they are last year's collection, the prices have definitely decreased and could be bought. So personally, am debating if I should get this bag and if I do, which one.

//

I think I will go with the bottom as it is bigger and easier to use.

//

Like mentioned though, there are different colours like pink, purple, blue and this of course and I believe the 'original' leopard pattern is always good with its 'original' colours. One thing I don't like about this bag is the PVC material they use along the sides; and it just makes the bad look a little cheap. Haven't seen this bag in real life but would love to go and see it for my own!

Rad Omen - Rad Antheme

Uhmm..............This is SO GOOOOOOD.
I cant even describe how much love i am with this M/V right now. Love at first sight is the perfect desciption for this right now and its just amazing! With the absolutely eyecatching characters, quite entertaining storyline, and obvi, the sweeetass music:) Some people might see it disturbing, but I see it as something undoubtfully creative, extreme and unexpected. THUMBS UP!
