BECAUSE IT'S HEAVEN!
How else do you explain that these amazing shades cost less than an imported Vogue there?
Anyway, I was with this straight Colombian friend who asked me to take pictures of him, so I took millions, and in return he took some of me, of which I liked some so I'm posting a few. Along with some free bullshit about some stuff. Teenager rage, you know, only not as stupid.
Background?, bah, I just need a bed!
More? More ↓
Besides his trademark red-soled shoes, you should know he's a Parisian shoe designer famous for making... beautiful red-soled shoes. Ok there's not much more to it, but just in case you didn't know what he looked like and were curious here you have a nymag.com story from the other day.
And the following is a style.com story from yesterday in which he shows his skills with the trapeze. Weird? Sure!
But this is what he does best...
I'm so poor I'm in the verge of living in the street, so this is me practicing my homeless poses.
IF YOU'RE GONNA BE A STREET RAT, AT LEAST BE IT WITH STYLE
Change? You got some change?
I'm so poor instead of a dog I have a street pigeon.
This is us playing in the park a couple of days ago.
Oh and you don't wanna miss my gym.

Mmmm where's Amy Winehouse? Bah, after all the rumors saying the British underground diva would make it to the September issue's cover, Mamma Anna went and chose the British D-list actress A-list trend setter instead, which apparently she can't have enough of, giving birth to probably the most boring cover in history of human kind. For the October issue maybe?
Here's Amy's new video anyway (directed by David LaChapelle):

Sorry, I just like powerful headlines.
You didn't think Kanye West would make some random come back, right? Well he did. His first video from next album "Graduation", "Can't Tell Me Nothing" which came out last May was totally forgettable even though the song is excellent and I love it. But! He's not one who's silly, his self-driven success proves this, so after the silent reaction to his expected-to-be-huge reappearance he then came up with a bigger, better, MTV shaking video: "Stronger". Just don't miss it, watch it in high quality here.
In collaboration with Daft Punk, this song is as crazy as you want an epic first single to be. The video, directed by Hype Williams (who also did "Can't Tell Me Nothing") and shot in Japan, is a dark post-apocalyptic manga-styled affair, only not as condensed as that sounds. Partly inspired by the anime movie Akira, West keeps on breaking (exploding) the tired rules of Hip-Hop. He's not content with making another hot girls in bikini shaking booty video, he wants to explore and discover, and truth is thank God we have him, he's the only rap star I really admire, as he's not only rich and ostentatious, which he is, but he does it in a more tasteful way than all those 50 Cents who can't do anything but showing off how big their cars and necklaces are and how many pussies they suck, and whose major achievement is the spread of homophobia. I don't say they're not talented, but I wouldn't buy a record of them even if I loved it.
So, about the Grill Glasses, you may say this is a month-old news, but what if I show you this pic from the weekend:
I think it's cool, as an artist you gotta always do new stuff in order to keep up the attention, so I'd rather have this than him hooking up with Paris Hilton in Star (no, there's no other alternatives).
I don't know who designed these super-deformed bitches [Update: turns out these are paper-made and were given to the crowd in a concert (Fun!)], but the Grill Glasses from the "Stronger" video are made by Alain Mikli. I browsed his website and I couldn't find any interesting sunglasses though. I know they're based in the 80's originals "Venetian Blind Sunglasses" (don't ask), apparently West found these and then asked the mentioned brand to make a new version for him, and looks like he loved the result cause he's been wearing them every time he's found the oportunity. The originals look like these in the "Stronger" cover:
Non of them are from irreverent fashion designer Jeremy Scott as they're saying in every blog, the ones from him are these:
...which are hot as a panther and can be spotted in his new video as well, about which Kanye said: "Stronger is also a fashion statement. Its for people like us, who dress fresh and like fly shit. And if you don't like the song, then more than likely you don't know how to dress either."
If you wanna buy the Grill Glasses, kill yourself you have to specially order them by phone (Alain Mikli free number 1-800-829-8032). Oh and they cost only $1500.
As announced by Steve Jobs yesterday in a special event, the famous Apple desktop computer iMac gets a new look, a speed boost, new keyboard and... it is now cheaper than the previous version!! How major is that? (forget I ever said that).
These aluminum and glossy black beauties didn't come alone, as new and highly awaited versions of iLife and iWork were also introduced. To tell you the truth, I though these '08 revisions were kind of lazy for the price they're selling ($79), but as always they come with every new Mac so good for the next buyers.
The new design is supposed to have a more high-end feel, more pro, like it won't look so playful in an office. In fact it has now a black back.
What I see is that when the iPod became so huge, they made the new iMac look just like a computer version of the MP3 player, and now the iPhone is a world famous technology icon they've morphed again their desktop line to go with it. When I first saw it, instead of a pro look, it evoked cinema to me. It's kind of a fusion between flat TV and iMac... and iPhone. I won't be the one to say that's a bad thing.
The recently rehabbed designer is featured in the cover story of Out magazine in its September issue. Newly single, allegedly after catching his boyfriend slutting on, he says things like:
"…I used to really hate seeing my own reflection in the mirror, and I’m not talking about in a drug- or alcohol-induced state—I mean in general. I just hid behind clothes, and I didn’t really care about what I wore, and I didn’t care about my skin or my hair—I just felt like, There’s nothing more I can do to look more attractive…what’s the point? and believing that, I just avoided having my picture taken."
You can see more pictures of the Out photo shoot here.
DO CHANGE...
Where you say they sell those tickets?
The following picture is totally real.
Only Google has nothing to do with this store, found in Turkey by an iGadget Life writer, or is this their next step in their world-domination plan?
As I said HERE, Google is a whore (we all have our things).
Thanks iGadget Life and Gizmodo.
