Haute Sex
(18 July 2005) - Sex toys as a rule are simply, well, not that sexy. It's as if an invisible line runs between high design and sex, ironically suggesting that sensual curves and lines inspired by the body were somehow irrelevant when created for the body. A recent outcropping of luxury sensual products, including Myla, Jimmyjane, Mi-Su, Lelo and the Mile High Kit, erase that false divide, finally...

Food Critic
(06 July 2005) - Artist Nicolas Touron’s new exhibit at the Virgil de Voldère Gallery in New York City uses most unlikely objects to tell his startling fables of global affairs. Armed primarily with sugar and ceramics, he has set out to portray the world as he sees it, a sphere where the world’s daily machinations can be both overwhelming and terrifying, and things are rarely as sweet...

Odin
(05 July 2005) - Tucked on a side street in New York's East Village, finding the men's apparel and accessories store Odin can feel like going shopping in your stylish best friend's closet. Opened in August 2004 by co-owners Paul Birardi (ex-financial planner to Coach and Barney's) and DJ/art director/designer Eddy Chai (the store's name derives from his childhood fascination with Norse mythology), it's still a relatively new...

Scale the Black Mountain
(15 June 2005) - When I was in Montreal last month doing a story on the city’s music scene, a few people told me to check out Black Mountain, a west coast Canadian band that was doing great things. So when their self-titled CD showed up this week I tore into it and instantly liked what I heard. In what I could only describe as psychedelic metal, Black...

Lynne Golob Gelfman
(13 June 2005) - Cloud-like layers, minimalist abstractions, mid-century palettes -- most would agree that the paintings by Miami-based Lynne Golob Gelfman appear to be art. Her most recent exhibit (she's been in over 80 to date), O the Games We Play, is a group show that opened on June 11th and runs through July 1st at Fredric Snitzer Gallery, the Miami gallery that's been representing her for...

Refined Refreshment
(13 June 2005) - Every year, within certain social circles, seasonal consumption patterns invariably emerge, lending a discrete, however intangible, identity to a fleeting moment in time. This is never truer than in the ever-idyllic summertime, when spirits (both human and liquid) run free with the annual tacit promise of carefree living and fond memories. Our potables, alongside our foods, songs and dress, will always help to define...

Nike iD Design Lab: 255
(01 June 2005) - Since March 31st -- the same day a redesigned nikeid.com launched -- a polite yet intimidating bouncer has taken up residence at the unassuming storefront of 255 Elizabeth Street in Manhattan. His job is simple. He patiently explains to all who inquire that access to the space behind the frosted glass door is by appointment only, and those appointments can only be made with...

The EarBud Challenge
(08 April 2005) - 6isolator Earphones, a set of in-ear earphones designed in the same manner as EarLove, but as a sonic helper specifically for iPods. This got me thinking about other in-ear devices so I popped over to Shure and found their E3c Sound Isolating Earphones. A challenged was hatched. ...

Android 8 Store
(25 March 2005) - If you haven’t given Android 8 a peek yet, do so, it’s a must see. It’s a new online store featuring limited edition and designer work by people like Brendan Monroe, Luke Chueh and Rustboy. It’s all run by a very young and entrepreneurial east coaster— and that hits close to home. I love to hear about young folks, like myself, doing what they...

Penck
(18 February 2005) - Apparently released in Japan today, the Penck was designed by Makoto Saito and Kumiko Hitomi. It's quite elegant in its simplicity and from what I can gather looking at the pictures on the site, it has all the latest features you'd expect in a phone. Thanks to Fumi for translating the site! English version after the jump. ...

eNerGy Anime and Game Festival 2004
(03 December 2004) - Carol Chung, bubble tea lover / anime addict, recently attended the eNerGy Anime and Game Festival. Here's her report: When going to an anime festival, here are a few preliminary concerns… 1. coming to terms with your own inner geekdom 2. tolerance for high school teenyboppers who are also geeks 3. an ability to sit on your ass for hours at a time The...

State of Play II
(04 November 2004) - Carol T. Chung attended the State of Play II conference this past weekend, which was sponsored by the New York Law School and Yale Law School from Oct 28 – 30. Here's her report: THERE IS NO SPOON – I don’t think I’ll be able to watch that movie for a long time. There was no escaping it. Even the cable channel tbs was...

So Yesterday
(29 October 2004) - So Yesterday. It's an adventure mystery about a teenage cool hunter who stumbles upon the most amazing sneakers ever. Needless to say, I was skeptical. I finally got around to reading it (cover to cover in flight from San Francisco to New York) earlier this week and was pleasantly surprised. Westerfeld's witty yet simple writing weaves a fun story with a bit of cool...

Antonio Carvalho
(21 May 2004) - The wild illustrations of Antonio Carvalho have recently been featured in Pictoplasma, the character illustration book and Web site. His work is inspired by childhood fantasies of creatures hiding in the refrigerator. I think they're all pretty great, except the clowns. Clowns freak me out. But maybe that's what he's going for. Here Antonio shares a personal statement and some of his more recent...
