The Six Girls of Mad Men attend the Emmys.






Count them....1-2-3-4-5-6.
Just staying true to my promise. That's all I have to say about the Emmys.
I sure as hell dint watch them.

The Rat-ini/ Geminat (East meets West-gong).



You know what beter that simply looking up your Ziduac sign and letting it talk shit about you. Looking up your zodiac sign on the Western Front combined with the Chinese one. It's a two-for. Im an evil Gemini....but lets see what the Gemini rat is like...


THE WOOD RAT 1924 AND 1984

Gemini Rats are blessed with the gift of the conversation. They are articulate and keen. Easily bored, Gemini Rats thrive on variety, and are happiest with their hands in many things. They do tend to take a long time to make decisions and once they so, to change their minds a few times.
Despite having a remarkable facade of self-confidence, deep down, Wood Rats are the least sure of themselves compared to other Rats. However, they wouldn't dream of showing this side of themselves to anyone. Only close companions of a Wood Rat would ever suspect that he or she had such self-doubt. In fact Wood Rats are often worried about downfall, despite their ability to find success. Well-liked, proficient, and good leaders at work, Wood Rats seem to function best when they are surrounded by family and friends. Cordial and delicate, they are usually well loved by family, friends and peers.

See what they say about you and they will love you loooonnnggg time.

***GONG!***

Let's Fall in Love. Estelle ft John Legend.





I would call this a great feel food joint...but the truth of the matter is....my girl friend use to go to school with the the videos leading man...Jesse Williams, and he is "the hottest man ever."

***screw face***

So I give it a 7 out of 10. Take that Jesse.

Art meets collaboration.





Hybrids is a collaborative project between Stephen Burks, of Ready Made Projects, Mogollon and photographer Daniel Hakasson. Initiated by Stephen, the Hybrid project is a meditation on the notion that all of the most compelling ideas, people, places and things in the future will be collaborative, composited, pluralistic and/or hybrid in origin.


What? Whatever...these are cool to look at. If you are an art director....you should be salivating and trying to figure out a way to incorporate this into the next thing you do. Am I right? Hat tip to Gavon for the find.

I'z keeps it realz.

Damn.



The Linkdown: Deal with it!


1. Women have worked so hard for equal rights...and then someone tells you that you need to wash your vagina to get a raise.

2. Happy BDay to MJ. Miss you man.


4. Pizza Hut makes Korean girls want to dance.

5. Snookie's boyfriends proposed to her...through a cover and photo spread of a real live magazine. This is important because....now fame and talent mean nothing.

6. Things get a little weird when agencies start connecting back to school with high school nude art classes (whisper: that doesnt happen in real life--anywhere).


8. I DO NOT understand why this didnt make it big.

9. Brittany Spears is staying relevant. In China.


OK, yeah right Roger....



US Open is starting today, so this is my obligatory tennis post. Now...we have seen this type of behind the scenes tennis greats doing tennis stuff before. And it's interesting. But this.......? No one in thier right mind would let a professional tennis player serves a 130 mi per hour ball at thier face.

Fact.

Americans event too...The Bubble Room.



I guess that at the bottom of some lake in Nevada...lies a room called the bubble room.

1.) I was completely impressed by what was going on in the little US of A, until I saw that everyone in the bubble room had crazy mustaches....then I knew, it was just a giant gravity bong. I swear, if weed heads ran the pentagon...

2.) I wonder if you are allowed under there with or with out legal documentation of your citizenship. Mustachio looked a little suspicious. (Too soon?)

Junkfood vs. Baby Carrots.



"Just in time for the battle over what's gonna be in millions of back-to-school lunches, Bolthouse Farms and nearly 50 other carrot growers today will unveil plans for the industry's first-ever marketing campaign. The $25 million effort sets its sights on a giant, big-spending rival: junk food."


I personally cant wait for the outcome of this. As my gf said this morning when she saw the packaging shots...."Ewwww look at that crazy carrot eating bunny...makes me want to eat some baby carrots."

Hip Hop Data Visualization.




The Hip-Hop Word Count is a searchable ethnographic database built from the lyrics of over 40,000 Hip-Hop songs from 1979 to present day.

The Hip-Hop Word Count describes the technical details of most of your favorite hip-hop songs. This data can then be used to not only figure out interesting stats about the songs themselves, but also describe the culture behind the music.

How can analyzing lyrics teach us about our culture?

The Hip-Hop Word Count locks in a time and geographic location for every metaphor, simile, cultural reference, phrase, rhyme style, meme and socio-political idea used in the corpus of Hip-Hop.

The Hip-Hop Word Count then converts this data into explorable visualisations which help us to comprehend this vast set of cultural data.

This data can be used to chart the migration of ideas and builds a geography of language.

The readability scores are on a scale from 0 (illiterate) to 20 (post-graduate degree). Visit the Hip-Hip Word Count.



Well...it all kinda sounds like something, someone made up. But what doesn't? Leanr more about it here.

Christina Hendricks for London Fog.




Rufus Wainwright Hour.



You know when you sleep so well that the next day seems a little off? AKA you realize you have been tired for the last 8 months- day in and day out? That's what this morning is like to me. And Im taking advantage of my new found awakening with some Wainwright in the morning....

Today is going to be a good day.

“Guys are douchebags and I hate them all. They don’t know how to deal with women and I feel that’s why the lesbian rate is going up in this country.” —Snooki

“She had summer teeth. Some are like this, some are like that.—DJ Pauly D

“I don’t like tests, that’s why I didn’t go to college. Don’t test me, because I will fail a majority of the time.” —Ron Ron


I love the show and the cast for supplying these weekly. More so....I love Best Week Ever for summing them up on a weekly basis. Snooki still wins every week. Every...week.

The Hottest Girl in the Universe (this year) is Mexican.



"Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete was officially named the hottest chick on the planet, or just Miss Universe 2010, in Vegas last night effectively continuing Donald Trump’s silent campaign to make white people’s heads explode..."

I'm not sure who still watched these programs....but I applaud Donald Trumps consistency and commitment.

The Expendables.

The movie The Expendables is what my dad dreams about every night knocked out next to the the high speed car chase schematics he drafted up in his thirties and a dozen empty cans of budwieser. I have been meaning to write a short post about the film for some time now. I guess I never saw a preview, except for the ten thousand posters plastered around the NY subways system. Somehow, someone came up with the brilliant idea of collecting all the famed action heros of the past and combining them with those of the present, and making the ultimate man action movie known to...well, man. Kudos. My dad is salivating!

Anyway....below is a breakdown of each actor's kills in each of his movies. I am a little let down by Jet Li.

The Diarrhea Songs used in a PSA.



"Let's dig toilets, not graves."

I must say....this has to be the most emotionally confusing PSA ever. At first, I'm cracking a smile to a bunch of tots singing a poop song, then the little African kid made be sad. Which I guess was the point.....

Effective? Yes. It's just the VO dudes lines that get me.

Design History.



Design is History, a great overview on centuries of design. Part of the graduate thesis of designer Dominic Flask, Design is History was created as a teaching tool for young designers just beginning to explore graphic design and as a reference tool for all designers. It is supposed to provide brief overviews of a wide range of topics rather than an in-depth study of only a few. It is a constantly evolving, changing, expanding reference library.



I am about to send some serious time with this website. You should too.

The "Real" Trailer for the next Batman movie.
