Convalescents Enjoy Tailgating Too
11/05/2007
Every once in a while someone tries to market something that is less useful than a hangnail. Just when we thought we had found one of those things in the Cooler Scooter, we discovered that you can buy a Cooler Scooter trailer hitch. That's right, if you wanted to build your own beer train and conduct it through the topiary display at Cypress Gardens, Cooler Scooter Di ... Read More

LANYARD JEWERLY
09/28/2007
According to wikipedia a lanyard is a rope or cord often worn around the neck to carry something. We remember girls braiding key chains of neon-colored lanyard on the public school playground, and then it was a fashion you had to save your milk money for. The same is true now that lanyard has become couture. Philip O' Sullivan now makes "innovative new jewerly" from t ... Read More

KEEP
09/12/2007
A shoe company that makes kicks for the ladies. These sneaks are great, detail-oriented; even the bottom-tred is beautiful, and they don't use any animals to make them with for those of you who are sensitive to those issues. Also they work with the likes of Isaac Ramos and Brendan Fowler to create their designs. Keep Shoes. Read More

EMMA BRITE JEWLS

These are awesome. Bright plastics cut into cool shapes and they blind people in the right lighting conditions, so they're also, like, a weapon. This brand is part of the Egg Projects thing we talked about earlier.Buy! Read More

iPHONE BUZZ LATE
08/10/2007
So, yeah, we were in New York yesterday and couldn't help noticing how great the Apple Store is. As we passed it the first time (because we double-backed) we heard not one, but three teenagers, audibly gasp, shake their parent's arm and point "There's the Apple Store!"There is something awesomely futuristic about it, the apple suspended from the sky, the under-ground ...

BICYCLE HELMETS
06/28/2007
People are wearing them. . . a lot. Nothing's changed, they haven't gotten any cooler looking, but people seem to make a game out of buying the dorkiest ones possible. All of the sudden people have become safety conscious. Must be on account of trans-fat bans and environmental scares. Responsibility will soon be the new black, or something dumb like that. We think a ... Read More

THE R IN R.E.LOAD; ROLAND BURNS.
06/08/2007
R.E. Load makes custom homemade messenger bags, and regardless of the fact that they work in what could be described as a sewing factory we've always been sort of jealous of the people that work for R.E. Load. They get massive street cred just for working at the coolest company in town, they get to help organize one of the most fun annual activities in Philadelphia (R ... Read More

04/10/2007
(Or cute is the new cocaine revisited.) Lacking a kid, and needing to post something about their life on the web, many young people turn to their four-legged companions. More people will have more interest in your dog then your baby, especially if you dress it up to look like something it's not.Dressing your dog up to look like a turkey isn't just for halloween anymor ...
