Being a hipster is bad for you.

blogskinnyjeansABC News (of all places) has some content you should really check out for the sake of the beloved hipster in your life. Skinny jeans are apparently (and medically) bad for you. Ugly boots can be damaging to your feet. Even that over-sized purse can be harmful. Clearly its time to either suffer for your (lack of) fashion, or really re-think your life choices here. In short: Check yourself before you wreck yourself because being a hipster is bad for your healf.

Goal Burger

getafe1Getafe Footbal Club have new kits. No surprises there. They are corporately sponsored and branded. No surprises there. They are designed so that when shirt-over-face celebrations occur, the Burger King mascot’s face becomes prominently displayedas festivities ensure. Surprise!getafe2

Madame est Servie

01-madame-est-servie2There is a new stylish space saver in town. Theres a lot of horrible junk-invention masquerading as industrial design these days so its refreshing to see something both new and good. Its nice to have a Cheval mirror if you have the space so you can evaluate your look head to toe. Its also nice to have a full size ironing board so you can, you know, iron your clothes. Using them both simultaneously is extremely rare yet once you see what Aïssa Logerot has done, the combination seems so obvious (which is always a sign of good design) and graceful. Hopefully Aïssa continues refining the design for durability and practicality and gets these into mass production soon.

Boodbath & The great beyond

bloodbath_shower_600x600If you find that your clean white bathroom to be disappointingly free of suggestions of murder and not looking enough like a crime scene you can now lay your mind at ease. Why go through the trouble of seducing a house guest and brutally murdering them in the shower just to accomplish that certain rouge aesthetic? Now you can get this Blood Bath Shower Curtain and Bath mat to satisfy your most Hitchcockian urges without having to even pick up a kitchen knife. Talk about modern convenience! Our only suggestion would be to make it water reactive so that pigmentation only became visible when wet, for that added sense of surprise

Corpus 2.0

Marcia Nolte has produced a series of portraits through which she tries to extrapolate what future human evolution or adaptations might make us look like in the light of our current fashions and technologies. This is what it might be like if we continue to change to suit our stuff rather than designing our stuff to suit us.
