Quirky and cartoony, this fashion line by British designer Ralph Rovero is appropriately titled Who Needs A Superhero? due to being inspired by hero’s of Rovero’s youth, such as Power Rangers, Pokemon, Superman, Spiderman, and X-Men. Rovero used copious latex to help create a stretchy fit for all superhero activites, and colorblocked it with bold […]

When it comes to art, I know a little bit about a few things. I know I love Vermeer, that Guernica is something special, and that Rothko paintings calm me. If you tried to talk to me about such-and-such movement or the difference between pre-Raphaelite blah blah and post-modern so-and-so you’d be met with a very […]

The continuing saga of one girl’s plight with unemployment…(read vol I,  vol II, vol III, vol IV, vol V,  vol VI, vol VII and vol. VIII) Last week my dad gave me some career/life advice. It went something like this: Dad: Honey, I’m real proud of your writing. Me: Thanks dad! Dad: How’s the job […]

Thanks to NASA and GM that’s about to change, and our robotic underlords are about to make their way into […]

Lately, I’m starting to like homeboy again. Maybe it’s that […]

Orsola de Castro and Filippo Ricci (the creative minds behind From Somewhere) make some crazy cute clothes for the ladies. The duo has been recycling fashion since 1997. Up-cycling really—and it shows. Most fashion like this has a hard time competing with traditional high-end garments for rack space. Not the case here, these two definitely […]

This is Day FIVE of the 5-day Challenger Challenge — Nicolas Stecher’s drive across the south in a Dodge Challenger SRT8. From New York City to Alabama in 5 days, hitting 10 states and traversing 1,000 miles…and using no technology that existed before 1974. It will be madness. To start at the beginning, click Day […]
