(P)G'd Up

Look at how gangster these babies are!

They're brushing animal cracker crumbs off their shoulder, rapping about pampers, and sucking hard on their binky grillz, fo' real. Judging by their outfits, they might have also just done some hard time out.  Plus, they're twins!

Nat Geo snagged this (bedazzled on my baby phat jacket) gem of a pic at the annual twins festival.  See more here!  And definitely go play the twins matching game.  It's kind of creepy, kind of awesome.

Too Many Punks

A few days ago, I awoke to the warm California sun shining in through the skylight in my bedroom. I splashed some water on my face, pulled on my favorite sweatpants, and walked barefoot down my newly carpeted staircase. What lovely scene greeted me in my sunny, airy living room?

10 dudes, about 100 beer cans and the unmistakable stench of bleach and barf.

Our dear friends, Dani Nash & The Villains are at the tail-end of a month-long west coast tour with their friends, Clepto. Dani Nash and The Villains hold a very special place in our hearts, ever since they let us dress up like jazzercise zombies in the music video for their jam "Eating at My Brain." Our deep and abiding love for their music aside, hosting two punk bands in one house has been an interesting experience. Two of our three toilets are currently tainted with the byproducts of a leisurely game of Edward 40 Hands. There are two separate Ford Econolines dying in front of our house. One of our roommates now has a black eye (he kind of deserved it). But, they did bring a super cute dog named Elvis with them who looks just like Benji, and we love him extra tons.

The boys are playing a show tonight at Johnny V's in San Jose, so stop by in the unlikely event you're in the area. After this show, they're headed back to home base in LA. Dani Nash & The Villains play shows around the city almost every weekend, so check them out if you ever make it to the second most important city in the entire world.

Go Figure

Even though Glee sucks, and Heather Morris is, like, whatevs, this picture is kinda great, right? Especially for an outtake. Go figure. 

Oh yeah, and this was jacked from Nylon. 

Dancing Dogs Are Here Again

Guys, I think I've spotted a trend.  There has been a recent influx of dogs who seriously know how to get down. 

Merengue dog -  Shakin' what his momma gave him, even though she was a bitch:



Techno dog - I need to get this guy's digits:

Dog Raves His Face Off - watch more funny videos

And finally, Weiner dog. We thought this wasn't going to be on par, but then it totally was. Um, but only for about 35 seconds. Right when the technicolor background hits start, that's gold, 2010. Then after that? We're just getting down to Hot Chip, and maybe eating cheese products.

2007 throwback!  Why doesn't the world love Kenna as much as he deserves?  Or at least as much as we do? Ok .... ready?  Dance party!

2010 Architecture and Design Film Festival

Just got the news (a little late thanks to Labor Day festivities):  The Architecture and Design Film Festival will be hosted at Tribeca Cinemas, October 14 - 17.

This is the first film festival to celebrate architecture and design in New York City, and it should be a great place for industry minds to commingle.  Plus, the connected bar/lounge will most likely be filled with swank new design products -- hooray sponsorships!

The line-up of films has yet to be announced, but event organizers promise a mix of feature-length films, documentaries and shorts, profiling architects and their process, environmental issues, and all the obligatory, cool design eye candy one would expect.  

Movies will be announced in mid-September.  Perhaps too much time has gone by for it to be included, but while we're on the topic of design films, here's a quick shout to Objectified, which was excellent.  Here's the trailer. 

Tickets will go on sale September 27th.   Keep updated at the festival site here. 

Obligatory cool design eye candy! Yeah!
