Ya Dig?!: Philips HTS8140 Ambisound Soundbar
An all-in-one home cinema sound solution- The Philips HTS8140 Ambisound Soundbar is an Ambilight flat TV. Now featuring a flatter speaker system with the refinement of an angled driver positioning, and touch screen controls- It is super easy to use! Pricing details are yet to be determined. Stay Tuned!
POW!
Why is it that something always seems to go missing on your desk at work? Pens, Scissors, and STAPLERS! Ever see the movie office space? You know how that ended.
Now just go HULK on your co-workers with this nifty stapler that sends a CLEAR message: DONT TOUCH MY SHIT!
O-Nest Chairs
I like these chairs because the enveloping shape is reminiscent of a flowering bush. The colors are playful, and the embossed floral decorations are a hallmark of the Dutch designer. This sculptural piece unites attractive decoration with excellent quality and versatility. Great piece to brighten up a dull room.Golf from another Galaxy
WOW! This is actually part of the official Star Wars Golf Gear. I am so ready to Get galactic on the green. They offer two choices- Stormtrooper white or Darth Vader black. These clubs are being made in Japan and apparently the quality is good. They should go on sale soon for about $500. With this gear AND the Force, golfers will not know what to do with themselves any more.
Don't Sleep on This
Now you really can play Tetris on your couch. These Soft toys form the shape of assorted Tetris pieces. One set contains seven pieces in bright hues of pink, green, blue, and yellow. You can arrange them in all sorts of combos- just like you do from your cellphone at work! The Tetris pieces are made of soft polar fleece fabric and stuffed with polyfill and feature hand-stitched black embroidery. Each piece is one of a kind. Guaranteed Hours of fun for your couch!

artist spotlight: Lil Wayne Puts down his beer pong cup & picks up a lollipop
Lil Wayne was recently named "Man Of The Year" by GQ Magazine (2007) and "Best Rock Star Alive" by Blender Magazine (2008). As a solo artist Wayne has released a total of 5 albums- and I'm sure you've heard at least one of his catchy hooks since. Tha Block Is Hot (1999) reached platinum status and was a #1 Billboard Album. He later released Lights Out (2000), 500Degreez (2002), and his defining album, 2004's platinum certified, Tha Carter, which featured the single "Go DJ." His critically acclaimed, platinum-plus follow-up, Tha Carter II, 2005 debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top Albums chart, a groundbreaking and provocative tour de force which the New York Times hailed as 'historic.' Tha Carter III marks the sixth solo project from Wayne. Tha Carter III- will be the final installment in his trilogy.A sucker for the sizzurp-"Lollipop" feat. Static will be the 1st single off of the album.

Bond Is Forever
I've been wanting to write about this for a long time....
I admire the essence of a Bond Girl. Mysterious, Beautiful, and Cleverly named ala double entendre. A bond girl will typically be a victim, agent, ally, villainesses or member of an enemy organization. A few are just simply stunning!
According to Wikipedia A Bond girl is a character portraying a love interest/sex object of James Bond.
If you are a heterosexual male you wanted one of these girls, and if you are a female you wanted to be one of them.
Mariah Carey actually acted the part of one of my faves "Honey Ryder' from the film Dr.No- in her uniquely named "Honey" video.
And... Halle Berry had a similar take of this classic Bond Girl outfit in "Tomorrow Never Dies"

With a few other notable Bond Gals like:
Pussy Galore- (I love her Killer hair)
Jill Masterson- (who else can make death by gold paint look so glam?)
Vesper Lynd (From the Original Casino Royale- '67)
and Solitaire- (Jane Seymour at her finest!)
These ladies are all icons. Classic, Elegant, Sexy, and Fashion Forward!
Recently Gwen Stefani payed a small tribute to these gals by creating a bond girl swimsuit line for her L.A.M.B collection along with countless other designers who continue to create pieces inspired by these fine women. Check her out at http://l-a-m-b.com/

artist spotlight: COPE2
NYC native & graff artist COPE2 brings some new heat to the kitchen with the Ningyo Gosho project from Super Rad Toys. Rather than depicting a fictional graff character, COPE2’s Gosho is his graff full frontal. Unapologetically covered in his signature bubble tag- the figurine shines in bright turquoise and purple. Accented by a pink vest- we note a signature "throwup."
This piece of vinyl is available in MAY.
a good read: Parallel Strokes
A compilation piece- a mecca of interviews with twenty-plus contemporary typeface designers, graffiti writers, and lettering artists...binded together in one place for your enjoyment!
