Backyard Bunnies Are the New Urban Chickens – GOOD Blog – GOOD
In college I took a cool course in Environmental History and one of the most interesting sections was about the human impact on food-systems and how diets have changed over the centuries.

Fortunately for meat eaters, some meats are more sustainable than others. And as it turns out, rabbit is one of the healthiest, leanest, and most environmentally friendly meats you can eat.

SID LEE Secret Wars II – Amsterdam vs Hamburg
Spending a nice weekend in Amsterdam visiting a friend and guess how lucky I was to turn up in time for a SidLee event at the SidLee Collective here in the DAM. A live graffiti between Amsterdam and Hamburg and in the true spirit of competition each group of artists worked extra hard to take the piss out of the competition. The Dutchies came out strong poking fun at the German beer, sausage and Lederhosen and poking directly at the ‘Hamburg-ers’ with a conveyor belt loaded with hamburgers! Plus an easy reference to der Untergang; easy wins all around. The Germans were surprisingly clever pulling together a small package of subversive jokes poking fun at the queen, tall stoned houses on the canals and somehow even referencing new years eve fireworks blowing off kids hands, and a real fun banner saying Don’t drink and draw! The hometown heroes won the ...

Ladies? Mustaches?
Mustaches are absolutely everywhere now and I think it is time that the ladies jump on this bandwagon. Personally I appreciate a woman with a finely groomed ‘tache. It doesn’t even have to be a real one (maybe that is what I would prefer…but who knows). Take out an eyeliner pencil and BAM! an alluring piece of facial decoration. But really, what is wrong with a woman to go out with a finely shaped mustache? I think it can be totally cool. Agreed? JAK & JIL BLOG » Blog Archive » THE COUNTESS OF MONTE CRISTO//. Some absurd New Years eve in Austria (yeah, I know those people) Yes, I know these two ladies as well (I think sideburns and soul-patch are even cooler)

Fashion | StpL Spring 2010
Jeff Staple has done it again and dropped an incredibly fresh collection of threads for SS10. In a saturated apparel market where the large manufacturers (bar a few) are not taking any risks and everything is plaid or black it’s exciting to see a collectionthat seems to have been put together by someone looking from the outside in.
