  • A day in the life of… Yu Aoi by Libraryman

    where did this come from?
    and when did it happen?

    About “A day in the life of…”
    In the limited edition series A day in the life of… photographers are portraying a day in their lives, fiction as non-fiction. The fourth publication in this monthly series is completed by Stockholm based artist Jenny Källman where she assembled pictures of young peoples everyday lives. She blends documentary shots of the social games of the street with more or less pre-arranged scenes. – from Libraryman Co., Ltd.

    A Day in the Life of... Yu Aoi

    Found out about it here. You can get the book here. Roughly $15-ish USD.
    Maybe Julyssa can scan bookstores in Sweden for it…

  • Yu Magazine Batch and Vogue~

    Yu just updated her site with a whole magazine batch, which seems the only thing she updates now… which is kinda boring. BUT… they also announce she’ll be on Vogue Japan on December (dunno if on the cover, or just a feature article…) – which leads me to post a great scan of her cover on Vogue Taiwan from last Oct.

    There weren’t good scans that I’m aware of, so I was surprised to find these.

  • Cycling!

    I have been with the urge to ride a bike for a while now, I just don’t because Lima sucks. It’s stressful, will someone run you over? Will someone try to mug you? The black smoke coming out of the cars and public transport. The noise…

    Drivers are irresponsible, and people on the street suck too. It’s just the way it is.

    But one can dream. xD

    I recently saw an article on a National Geographic magazine, with this photo~

    Cycling in Portland Oregon - National Geographic

    Saying Portland, Oregon is the best city in America to ride bikes. It has over 250Km. of biking paths. And there’s also the Bike Commuter Act passed about a year ago that lets companies give $20USD extra to their people for bike expenses. Add to that, people actually stop their cars for them…

    sighs.

    I’ve had a dream that had to do with it. xD
    I want to open a design studio (I’ve seen a place, super cool LOL) and I had imagined in my mind that we would give our clients x% off if they come to our offices riding a bike. I would go every day with my bike in my sweet office loft.

    But I need better environment design. I need signals, and I need someone that will assure me that I will be save while on my bike. Can’t have that with over 400 road accidents in the year. Not until we start being civilized.

  • Julia Stiles Helps the Environment

    You’re welcome.

    It’s Julia Stiles!
    presenting her eco-design clothing line.
    Okay, not. But she does present the fab “10 Shirts I Love about You”
    And the “Save the Last Shants” …

    Ever been wearing a shirt and thought “I sure wish I could also wear these as pants.”

  • City Stories Shorts

    Film Independent (alongside Banana Republic, and Vanity Fair) are currently showing a series of shorts, and you can vote for your favorite (if you are in the US, and are interested in a Banana Republic giveaway).

    I can’t vote… or I’m not eligible for voting, but I can vote… but I don’t want Banana Republic stuff in my inbox. Anyway, I liked a few of the shorts – which you can watch on this website – particularly the one titled Steps.

    Steps

    Written by Marissa Jo Cerar, and directed by Barney Cheng.

    I also have a soft spot for Three Times Me (boys are icky, *laughs* xD), and Foolishly Seeking True Love – and was it me, or were these shorts over-using French?

    Anyway, check them out~ and vote for your favorite… or you know, if you don’t want to be spammed by Banana Republic, you can just leave your comment here xD

  • Ping Pong Ball Art by Patrik Bundeli

    I like playing ping pong xD
    so these “totems” rock~~~
    Save the balls! LOL

    Save the Balls! by Patrik Bundeli

    but I’m usually a barbarian when it comes to table tennis, I’ve destroyed a couple of balls in my time playing, but at least I don’t “accidentally” lose them. Just saying… I dunno if I should use a dozen when I’m in need for playing.
