Made from aircraft-quality aluminum, suede & pure silk lining
Passavant and Lee is the union of minds that is Jon Passavant and Benj Lee, designers in the name of men’s durable, but fashionable, accessories. With one half of the team British and the other American, the continental perspectives have conjoined to configure the No. 25 Briefcase. Available in either black or tan, the protective shell is made from aircraft-quality aluminum, with innards of suede and a pure silk lining. Along with trimmings of leather and brass hardware, there are deliberate compartments such as a laptop slip, a document folder, a cardholder and a miscellaneous zip pouch. The perfect attaché for secret agents and middle-management interviewees alike. Pack up your papers somewhere safe for $2,850.

Poledancing has gone from the lapdancer’s world into the frontier of fitness fads, but is here represented for its artfulness in Nowness‘ “Pole Positions” art video. Directed by George Harvey, award-winning poledancer Sarah Scott is shown in black and white, in slow motion, depicting the pole art as one evocative enough to tug heart strings just as much as it does dollars out of wallets at Spearmint Rhino. She describes poledancing’s increasing popularity in the fitness world as being beyond treadmills and Jazzercise: “…it’s still an art form; it’s still dance.” Perhaps at the next bachelor party, throw a long-stemmed rose to the stage and give a standing ovation in addition to making it rain, these girls fucking deserve it…

French luxury brand Watch Life With Curiosity likes to layer the impractically lavish onto the otherwise practical. So if you’re really want your coffee with creme de la creme, why not carry it in a tumbler coated in crocodile carcass? If you’re already grumbling about paying $5 to Starbucks for their liquid crack, then you just might have an aneurism when your tumbler runs you over $230 — but hey, at least its cracked croc wrapping is rinsable. Designed by Jeremy Kastelani, the Watch LIfe With Curiosity Crocodile-Skin Coffee Tumbler is available in brown, black, or blue. And if you think that’s a little overkill, check out this skateboard.

Shlohmo and Jeremih have been doing the collab thing for a minute, culminating with their free EP “No More” back in July (which we posted HERE). Now they’re back with the visuals for the very understated love song “Fuck You All the Time”. The tender video was directed by Austin Peters and Sus Boy, and tells the innocent story of lovely ladies who only want your phone sex… and then apply the song’s title generously.
Mary Jane goes to the movies & sparks up the green carpet
With us being days away from the new Kevin Smith film release of Tusk on September 19th, A24 Films is doing an intoxicating marketing scheme with the help of LA-based weed dispensary Buds & Roses. Together they will be releasing two strains of high-end cannabis in honor of Tusk, one being “Mr. Tusk” and the other being “White Walrus”. Rumor has it that the Tusk variety is the more intense of the two, with the Walrus being more mellow. So if you live in LA, take your cannabis card to Buds & Roses before September 26th if you want a little coo-coo-ca-choo in your water pipe on movie night. Watch the trailer in the meantime, below.
