Pamela Anderson for Vivienne Westwood

As a major icon, Pam Anderson is one of the world's renown models/actor. She has proven herself in the like of TV, movie and now spokes model for Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer 2009 Collection. Damn!

Kanye West for Louis Vuitton

There are too many bad collaborations in today's market. Kanye West X Louis Vuitton is not, I repeat NOT on that list. This is one of many high anticipated shoe releases for this coming year. As many have waited for Nike to drop some knowledge about the "Air Yeez's", I guess we will just have to keep waiting. LV beat them to the point by showing this crazy collabration in Paris during fashion week. These will be released in Mid June.

Nooka Glow in the Dark Watch Zub

This it the infamous watch that was gifted by Nooka to many of the artist during the completion of the "Glow in the Dark Tour". Featuring many artist including Kanye, N*E*R*D, Lupe Fiasco and Rihanna. The Zub was rumored to be an exclusive release for gifting only.

But the good people at Nooka have finally released it and you need to cop one before their all gone. Check you local Nooka dealers or you might have better luck on eBay!

RIP Andre Young Jr I aka Dr Dre's son

My condolences and prayers go out to the entire family, who lost a very young soul at the age of 20.

NYPD at it's finest!

We have all heard about police brutality. This is beyond any scope of police work, not to mention complete lack of professionalism. In a aggressive situation, police are suppose to be on top of their game...

This is a sad moment for the NYPD, shame on you!

Age is but only a number

We all are children at heart, check out this installment of what adults do when they're confronted with childhood reelections.

“71% of adults used to play on the streets when they were young. 21% of children do so now. Are we designing children and play out of the public realm?

This project is a study into different ways of bringing play back into public space. It focuses on ways of incorporating incidental play in the public realm by not so much as having separate play equipment that dictates the users but by using existing furniture and architectural elements that indicate playful behaviour for all.

It asks us to question the current framework for public space and whether it is sufficient while also giving permission for young people to play in public.

Play as you go…” Bruno Taylor."

He not only broken through as one of the funniest stand up comics, Bernie also had a long resume of movie including Charlie's Angles, Ocean's, and much more....
