Liquor, leather, and the world’s most festive nation all come together to create a package that has a sophisticated and antique feel. Oronoco Rum is a super-premium white Rum made from the sugar canes of Brazil. But really, shouldn’t it be cachaca if it’s going to be so pro-Brazil? The slender shape and aged look […]

Pirelli have just released a behind-the-scenes documentary on the making of their 2010 calender, including interviews with Terry Richardson and Ana Beatriz Barros, where it becomes painfully evident that Richardson has the best job in the history of the working man. I do find it hilarious when models complain about working so hard tho, it […]

The title of Go Faster by Gestalten books pretty much nails the whole point of motor racing. But beyond the pure mechanics, engineering and science of auto racing is an aesthetic as intrinsic to some societies as fast food and cereal boxes (ever been to Brazil?).

Wow. I don’t know whether I like Arnold more or less after watching this, but man oh man does this guy have balls of steel. Actually, it goes well beyond cajones — this is just straight up lecherous. He could out-creep Dov Charney in the Creepy Weird Dude Finals. Or Larry from Three’s Company. I […]

It’s no secret São Paulo has some of the best street art in the world right now (I’m looking at you, Gêmeos), and here’s more evidence of it. What a great way to beautify your city…gives you something to look at while your sitting in 3 hours of crosstown São Paulo traffic. Bunch more pics […]

Os Gemeos, or the Twins, are Brazil’s most famous street and graff artists. They are truly bad ass. I got to know them in 2004 when I went to Rio and stumbled across a wall of theirs. I was totally blown away, mostly cos it didn’t look like any graff I’ve ever seen. Their stuff […]
