Cool Hunting
Fetish by David Lynch and Christian Louboutin
Shoes, scarlet, flesh, velvet, shadows, France and fetish—really what more could you want from these two masters of their mediums? Lynch and Louboutin create a sensation with this collaborative project.
Zoë Walker and Neil Bromwich: Siege Weapons of Love
Sexy, funny but also slightly scary, these cartoonish inflatable pink phalli make a strong statement against the sexual perversity inherent in all forms of organized violence.
Jeff Bark: Woodpecker
Bark's beautiful, sensual photographs look like dramatically lit old masters paintings, but on closer reflection have a darker, more sinister side.
Ultimate Member Limited Vibrators
A cartoonist, an exclusive nightclub and the purveyor of deluxe sex toys collaborate to bring us pleasure via Dick Ward ("style stud and he-hunk hung like a sartorial clotheshorse") and Omaha Hi-Lo ("Queen of the Texas Hold-Em, known from Monte Carlo to The Strip this lady's got more hustle than Larry Flynt").
The Lovers
The French are at it again with their cooing and their flirting! Enjoy the sounds of the saucy, kitsch, and not a little tongue-in-cheek Marion Benoist and Fred de Fred, who are The Lovers.

Nieves, a Swiss-based indie publisher, recently released "Mister Lonely," the third script from film director, producer, screenwriter and author, Harmony Korine. Released 10 years after the widely acclaimed Gummo (1997), his third feature film, "Mister Lonely," examines what happens when a Michael Jackson impersonator (played by Diego Luna) meets a Marilyn Monroe impersonator (Samantha Morton). Released in conjunction with the movie's release in the...
Eclectic, crazy and refreshing, Kaiserin Magazine should be on everyone's required summer reading list. Founded in 2006 by Arnaud-Pierre Fourtané and Didier Fitan, this French-English bilingual biannual calls itself "a magazine for boys with problems and all the girls who like them." It features the work of both established and emerging artists, photographers, authors, designers and illustrators who address homosexuality in their work. The...
Around the time of Lennon's 1969 "bed-in" phase a 14 year-old Beatles fanatic named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon's Toronto hotel room for a little chat. Thirty-five years later Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative of this event by marrying the traditional pen sketches of James Braithwaite with digital illustration by Alex Kurina in a spell-binding animated short, showcasing Lennon's boundless wit...
Until now, the thinking person's softcore porn, Box Magazine, has (like un-thinking people's porn) been faithfully publishing in an online format only. With the work-themed issue five that launched earlier this month, the year-old publication goes print, featuring over a hundred pages of full-color photos, reviews, a Lady Sovereign interview (pictured above center), articles and illustrations. Memorable (perhaps even unforgettable) spreads include Diana Krell's...
Like many obsessions, Margaret Brown's fascination with Townes Van Zandt began with one song. After a friend played her the folk singer's "Waiting Round to Die," she bought all the records she could get her hands on. The resulting documentary, Be Here to Love Me is the kind of work that can only come from an artist's devotion, much in the way that Townes...
I recently tried to track down a copy of Warhol's notorious 1964 film Blow Job to no avail. The 41-minute black and white film of a man's face ingeniously embodies whatever clever joke it is that Warhol seems to always be smirking about in photos. Second best to owning a copy is definitely this puzzle card that takes a still of the famed cigarette...
