Oversized bunny, still cute?

This is NOT a figment of your imagination, or some TGI -ish that Perez Hilton concocted. Giant Bunnies DO exist, and are bread in Germany for N.Korean consumers.

Palabra: A Series.

Dang, it's been a minute since we've had a vocab lesson, and in light of MJ's recent passing, I thought this would be fitting.

Bicycle Film Festival

Unfortunately, I'll be in Japan during this festival, but I will seek out the bicycle scene in Tokyo. This festival will be touring the world, and so will I.

Greed/Sloth/Pride

Reebok is releasing a sneaker series of the Seven Deadly Sins. The first three (GREED, SLOTH, PRIDE), I was surprised by the color yellow for 'Greed', it's probably supposed to represent gold. On the other hand, I appreciate that Reebok chose to use an alternative color for greed, instead of taking the obvious "green" route. The remaining sins are due out in the fall.

Gucci on your Cucci?

ECO-PARK: robot bicycle storage service

What if there was a device that stored bikes underground!!!? Well if you've dreamt it, than it probably already exists in Japan. Eco-Park can store over 120 bicycles underground. It costs about $29 a month and takes only seconds to operate/retrieve your bike.

Over 90% of people commute by train and 30% of all Tokyo residents commute via bicycle. To put that into perspective, Portland, Oregon, arguably the 'Greenest' city in the nation, has a 10% mode split, that is, 10% of commuters travel by bicycle. San Francisco rests at a meager 5% mode split, but the SF Bicycle Coalition aims for 10%.

Since so many people travel via bike, storage and parking is a growing and ever present problem. Eco-Park is the robotic answer to popularity of two-wheelers. I wonder if that thing could handle a Scraper Bike?

$6/Day for a single speed.

I plan on renting a bike in Tokyo. Hopefully I won't look like the people who ride rented bikes in SF, dork status.

The place I found below is located in a district that is emerging as the new 'hip' area. Nake-Meguro is located within the neighborhood Meguro, and is the new 'fashion' district that merges vintage with the contemporary. Can't wait.

Rainbow Ring Roads.

Houston's Rice School of Architecture created a graphic by taking the outer ring roads of 27 major international cities. Each ring road created a unique shape and then each city was assigned a color. It's funny that the city known for having no zoning laws has the largest ring road.

If you don't put it on hella thick, than no one will take you seriously in life.

I pretty much do the same routine as her, however, I refrain from putting sharpie on my eye brows.

Make sure to not put lipstick on, only lip liner.

later puta.

Light it up

Its a Lego candle! Of course sold by Colette.

Why are you so, annoyed-noyed

Ok, I understand the maybe it was leaked at first, but the second time too? So finallyyyyy The LV Don as decided to bless us with the final cut of Paranoid. Not only has the video be critiqued and fine tuned, but the track has even been upgraded. The final version is in fact superior to the first two previews, but please can you just make up your mind already!!

This vid mos def follows suit in Kanye's innovative path of artistic expression. It's not exactly what I had in mind for this song, but the visuals are no doubt stunning.

America's Next Top Sk8r

En route to brunch, when I pass Wallenberg, and its flooded with kiddies, hotties, and oldies but goodies. The courtyard is covered with feet and boards and the air is a buzz with the melody of wheels on pavement. I want to stay and watch, but I have to eat! On my way back I pass by again, and now the boards have spread from the yard of Wallenberg High School, and are now in the Mervyn's (RIP) parking lot and every street corner. I soon learn that there was a huge skateboard competition at the school - at the "Big 4" steps, which by next year will be gone.

Anywho - Hypebeast posted this clip. It starts pretty grimy, but finishes on point.
