Camp Concierge

It's called Camp Concierge and it's the brainchild of two young Adirondacker women who understand that escaping the city doesn't...

The FlowRider on the Freedom of the Seas
When it goes to sea in May of 2006, Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas will be the largest cruise ship in the world. It will serve 3,800 (yes, 3,800) guests and an unknown number of staff to run it. Like RC's other new ships, the Freedom will have a rock climbing wall, an ice skating rink, a spa, shops, and several restaurants. But...

The highlight is their 20 degree below zero testing room. It's a...

Contemporary Art Museum: Niteroi, Rio, Brazil
Oscar Niemeyer is undoubtedly Brazil's most influential modern architect. I was only able to see a small sampling of his work, but was blown away by the Contemporary Art Museum in Niteroi (outside of Rio). This Jetson's fabulous structure looks like progressive 50's Modern, but was actually completed in 1996. Especially genius is how the alien structure harmonizes with surrounding nature. Check out the...

Neon Shoes
Designed from pieces of hand-painted leather, these sexy men's-style dress shoes recently premiered at Neon's winter fashion show and bring action and color to any get-up. The Brazilian label's co-designer Dudu Bertholini has been collecting leftover painted cow skin—some of them rare—from his trips abroad to New York and throughout his home country, at last finding the best use for them. Because he only...
