LIAS checks into the most expensive hotel in the world

In 1993 William Gibson wrote an infamous critique on Singapore in Wired, entitled “Disneyland With the Death Penalty“. 18 years later, chewing gum is still banned, and his portrayal of a sanitized, technocratic, insipidly consumerist culture still has some truth to it. So what would he make of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel? Whether arriving […]

Bitch you ain't no Barbie, I see you work at Arby's...

You can tell right off the bat that Oakland’s Kreayshawn is gonna be a very polarizing artist. First off, she’s a white female rapper — that’s two strikes out the gate; you’re not gonna invite a lot of love from either hip hop purists or haters.

Sticking tinfoil on your wheels in Oaktown

If you’re unaware of Scraper Bikes, it’s basically a homegrown scene in the Bay Area/Oakland where kids modify the hell outta their bikes.

Playboy Legacy Collection at Art & Artifact Gallery in Los Angeles

What I mean is, I’m pretty sure every heterosexual male who sees the above photo gets a special stirring of the loins, even if they’re 95 and haven’t felt a stirring since the Reagan era.
