GTI FAST bunny?

gtifast.jpg
Hehehe. It makes me giggle - this insane little FAST rabbit creature of VW’s new GTI which i’ve been a major fan of since the LA Auto Show [remember the sweet flocked GTI posters? now THAT was a great bunny] It’s an interesting gimmick to sell the car - and i do hate that it is increasing my attraction to the car. Cute though - love the tee’d off tail. I need to get a new car in the next month or so - should i get a GTI?

ShotShow Schwag

shotshow.jpg
Las Vegas Shot Show (yes. guns.) Had some fun schwag - to our left we have a guitar pic sized metal screw driver! and to the right - to show my love of leatherman and their incredible design, Leatherman chapstick… but more exciting apparently leatherman will soon be launching a multi tool with full on shears and the demo model looked quite impressive (according to my dad anyhow).

Mario Noises

Mario SOUNDDROPs! Its the iconography combined with the idea of their respective sounds that really gets me this morning. Cute idea - makes for a fun pic… take a look at them, or buy them over at JBOX

Fire- pretty

frank.jpgThe log. Design Franck Fontana. A block of beech or poplar is transformed into auxiliary log… From a simple gesture, the match, the window bar and the sticks are detached for a true blaze. Dimensions: 33x8.5 cm Composed of a match, 3 glazing bar, 4 sticks and 1 log, the precut whole.

Block 36. Design Franck Fontana. These 36 very beautiful matches are astutely joined together ready to light fire. Precut, only one gesture is enough to detach them.

Deconstruction Paper

L_514.jpg
AGH - this makes me chuckle this jetlagged 8am morning. Enough to let it float in the center all alone like the masterpiece the cover is. DEconstruction paper - absolutely brilliant (brilliant colors as well). Pamela Barsky as well: she has become my theme of the day apparently.

Pleather Tags

L_524.jpgTravel can truly be a love hate process, and one of the most painful aspects is the packing/airport security aspect of the trip. Essential but if only there was a way to do with out… These disposable pleather tags (complete with those indestructable cable ties) give your luggage that provacative edge to help them stand up for themselves when you’re not there to protect them. From “Careful: my shoes are inside” and “open with caution: dirty clothes inside” to “nothing worth stealing here” and “this is not your suitcase” - at only 12$ for a set of 6 - the colorful tags will help make your luggage faster to spot, and give it a voice of its own that can change with each mood/journey. Also from Pamela Barsky.

Yogitoes

yogitoes.jpg
Ok back to more regularly scheduled content - do you slip when doing the yoga/pilates thing too? Or just like the feel of little nubby rubbery bits? (they remind me of these “tic tac toe” brand socks my mom used to have me wear that kept me from wiping out all over the slick hardwood floors when i was a wee one) Anyhow, these brilliantly beautiful Yogitoes apply the concept of those childhood socks to towels/mats/etc while you attempt to stretch and hold poses in yoga/pilates/etc. Found them at Fred Segal the other day. They’d make a great gift… *hint hint*

Books make us free…

booktin.jpgWandering Borders the other day, and came across this great gift tin for 99 cents - it had a holder inside of it for a gift card (so the width of that is perhaps 4” for the tin)… but the holder pops out, and it makes for a great little mailer/gift package for small items, and just looks nice on the shelf. The quote on the front is Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Some books leave us free, and some books make us free.”

Leg - Pen

unitedpen.jpg
This pen came in the Wall Street Journal a few days ago - and i simply had to shoot and share it. Its a rather heavy metal leg in fact… where you turn that tip to make the pen appear… refillable cartridges and everything. My mom wants to know whether we can ask for a left leg as well to complete the set… or whether they were biased to the right leg for extra space. Nicely packed too, apparently bubble wrapped and sealed into its own section in the bottom of the plastic bag the WSJ is delivered in every morning.

Moleskinery

dsc_0796mkb.jpgYes i admit i’m a moleskine lover. There is something about their clean timeless designs, and i love the thick paper for sketching and scribbling. And the elastic. It is SO all about the elastic and that back pocket… Anyhow, not sure how i got to this site, but somehow ended up at this Moleskinery blog… and find it quite amusing… and these cute little 1” buttons to show your moleskine love (and they are just kind of pretty)… 5$ for the 9 set…

Demonic Minis

11352.jpg I NEED THESE. Imagine everyone’s house you visit—- and just leaving one hidden somewhere (like inside a medicine cabinet)… or in stores… or photographing them in the least expected places (or on people’s shoulders). We all have a devil’s advocate around in our heads, this is just an adorably miniature manifestation of them (in a box of 50 for about 10$), which i suppose are intended for cocktails… Archie McPhee
