When I was at school, no one was extremely well off. I mean some kids’ parents were doing ok but it was taken into effect that there were some kids that were a little less well off.
Well it’s time for them to be laughing. Mainly at the fact that they were trend setting and the fact that all the shit they copped for wearing KT26 Dunlops and Volleys of the same mark now should be repaid in some victim’s compensation style repayment and apology.
Hipsters have not only brought Volleys and KT26 to the point of cool but some warp in the space time continuum has torn and ever the baby versions are being pushed into the market place as the type of cool you would stuff your hipster child in.
So I was pretty surprised to see all these. And before you ask me to apologise to the kids that were rocking KTs spare a thought for me when I worn my mothers purple sneaks to school or my lynx Jordan 5 knock offs.
My kid’s no punk. But he or she is currently being stuffed into shells or Air Force ones. Baby ones, and they too are pretty affordable, and I do this cause as a parent I know the quality is the same if not better and now as a parent I can provide these shoes for my kid.
I will not pay the same price for a lesser quality allegedly locally made shoe because hipster punks and hard core made them cool for zero year olds.
Just my humble opinion.
Each to their own peeps.
They are cute though. Most things this small are cute. Except for wasps and spiders.
So to commemorate almost 600 articles of varying degrees on Pandainabattlesuit.com I am giving away a one full set of 80s Autobots tattoos, the temporary kind, of course, although permanent 80s Autobot tattoos would be cool too.
How to win??!? Well the first person to have five of their friends follow either here or on facebook or both and leave a comment containing, “Ironhide has swagga” or “starscream is my bitch” indicating your ever dying love for Autobots team an also the name of the friend that referred them will get the tattoos.
Which by the way look like this
There are six in total. They are totally rad. And you will be the envy of all of the people in the world including the 1%ers who earn up to $15000 per day. And could by an Autobot. Or at least make one.
Alternatively you can write a short story about how the Autobots have touched your life.
I will post the ten best stories an at random choose a winner to receive the awesome tattoos.
This Album is magical and the song ‘West Coast’ and it’s film clip feat. Mark Gonzales (one of many gods of skating) is proper awesome as an installation at the Stadtisches Museum Abteiurg (read: German Museum), filmed and then edited in retrospect.
Totally stumbled across these today while trying to find a pair of shoes for me.
Selfish I know.
I would love to buy these for the team especially our newest edition our little boy Atticus.
Unfortunately the rest of the team would probs only wear todee or foofa.
Vans have definitely won my heart with these although I did settle on a pair of vegan Macbeths from Surfstitch whilst eating a burger. that fact may not be true the burger bit
Personally I would probably buy the brobee ones. But the Munos could be for black tie events.
PS: Didn’t check the price. Would rather live the fantasy that they might be a reasonable costing.
Any one who knows me, knows that I hate plush toys, I really truly dislike them, they are great for children under the age of ‘loves Barbie’ after that I am sure they become disease infested dust collecting, dog toys, that are terribly slippery when placed on polished timber flooring in ones house.
That being said, I am always rather partial to children’s idea being forced into reality especially their crazy little drawings of different creatures and people. Whilst they push you to the limits of what’s annoying/humorous/tiring/hygienic, that also push their own little imaginations into the unthinkable.
Some of the faces and drawing our little team members have doen are pretty cool and I have found a website that turns such drawings into very cool plush toys!
Child’s Own Studio is an amazing website/craft artist who puts children’s crazy/amazing drawings into beautiful handmade plush toys.
Each one a perfect recreation as it passes from imagination into plush toy existence. On the Child’s Own Studio Website, there is also some very cool accompanying stories from the children that make the original drawings.
As per the site, Child’s Own Studio is described like this by the site.
“Child’s Own Studio is a place where your child and a craft artist, together, can create a keepsake to be cherished for a lifetime”
all so cool, my favourite is “Steggy off to school”
I know this is not the first of this kind of idea. I remember seeing child’s art being recreate by adults some time ago, but the fact the Child’s Own Studio turns them into cool plush dolls for the child to keep, I think is very cool.
I just pledged for one of these. It looks amazing. I am not getting a colour one, just the jet black, and I feel, it is my duty to tell all society about this.
What started as a $100000 kickstarter project now has 3.5 million dollars backing and will ship come September 2012, all still with 28 days of pledging to go.
The watch isn’t touch screen like my MNML Lunatik but instead crazy functional. To the point where I just couldn’t speak, and it integrates with your iPhone (or Android, whichever your persuasion).
What’s that?, Your phone just sent an email that was important, via Blue tooth to your ‘Dick Tracy style’ awesome watch?
I just cannot get over this one. Yeah, I could go and buy Sony’s new Android watch for around the same price but this watch interacts with my phone.
It should be a goodie, I will do a full review when it ships come September. An remember there are still plenty of pledges left, so you should go and get one.
Look forward to seeing them. It is a bit laborious trawlling through the millions of them on the App, so this shoud be a good way to feature followers works.
James Blake is just amazing. An electro artist I have only just stumbled on. It is worth every cent of the purchase price and more.
I was listening to my local radio station which usually just plays popular music, like Nicki Minja’s latest dive bomb, don’t get me wrong. I love Nicki Minaj, but only when she is doing what she does best. Anything but dance music.
James Blake seems to be able to capture a million human emotions in 3 minutes of glitch style electro ballads, that are just beautiful.
His music is just amazing. That is all I can say. The Lyrics are short soft, almost haiku, of only a brief glimpse of information that you need to be enveloped into the songs.
I cannot recommend this album and his EP enough.
Go and get it where you can, although this time I will promote you get it through iTunes.
His website is amazing too. Link up the top of this post. Please support and listen to awesome music like this. Help free the world from people that are getting paid far too much money like the wanna-be rapper Professor Green.
Now imagine you have just told yourself to go to bed. You walk across your perfect polished concrete floors, up your small ladder or stairs, through your little bedroom entry hole, yes entry hole, not door, lay down, and close your eyes, or keep them open because the view is far too perfect to shut them.
I guess this is what the Architects at this house a little bit had in mind. The sleeping retreats, each one of the four has its own unique out look.
The Four eyes house is not only beuatiful to look at, but as an inanimate object stimulates your brain by placing a context on other wise nothing spaces. Yes you can creat a bedroom that is spacious or a bedroom that is warm but these bedrooms, create a different environment all together that engages you visually.
It is just a really great idea.
I am a bit caught up looking at houses this week I am sorry.
More can be read about the Four Eyes House either via, Design Milk, or via the Amazing architect Edward Ogosta’s Site here
The idea is basically that all four bedrooms each have their own outlook, one being the sky and stars at night, one being the skyline of the near city, the 3rd being the mountain scape, and the final and fourth incorporating the horizon intune with the sunset.
Even the surrounding landscape is blended without theatrics or bizarre gardens, or succulents, it is just nice looking dirt, and a nice looking lap pool.
