Monster specimens in jars

Monster specimens in jars: "

London artist Carim Nahaboo was inspired to make these fantastical modelling clay monsters-in-jars by a visit to the remarkable Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons: 'They are all modelled with Fimo, and coloured slightly with ink, before being baked to harden. Then sealed into their new homes. They are all quite small, the two in the smallest jars are around 25mm. i am hoping to make a larger specimen soon....'

So, Here Is Justin Bieber’s Love Cover

Last week, Love magazine released the first cover of its androgyny issue, which depicted Kate Moss and Lea T making out (*shrug*). What's far freakier is the issue's second cover, which features Justin Bieber, also styled by Katie Grand and shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot Terry Richardson. Thoughts? [TFS]

NY Back On Top

NY Back On Top: "

According to Forbes, the New York Knicks have overtaken the Los Angeles Lakers as the NBA’s most valuable franchise. Increased ticket sales and sponsorhips at the World’s Most Famous Arena raised the Knicks value 12 percent from $586 million to $655 million while the Lakers went up 6 percent from $607 million to $643 million. I can’t imagine how much higher the Knicks value would have risen if Lebron would have chosen NY as his new home instead of South Beach. However, with the constant rumors of Melo coming over (and possibly CP3), Knicks should be able to hold this number one spot in next year’s rankings. Show me the money! Let’s go NY!

Marc Jacobs – Spring/Summer 2011

Leave it to Marc Jacobs to make a suit look so normal, sophisticated and casual. Normally we can’t find these elements in one brand easily but Spring 2011 collection promises these fair enough. The color palette is not cheerful as expected for a spring collection to be but grey, black, green makes look all of the combinations suitable for fall too in my imagination. Shorts looking like ‘cropped pants’ are an easy item for you to adapt to your wardrobe while you can still feel the military trend with a touch of elegance at the collection generally. Try to combine your suits and pants with sneakers like a Marc Jacobs men to have fun with the smart and serious looking.
