Revisiting a modern day masterpiece.

SMITTYs RIDE

I guess youd call Paul Smith's shop in Manhattan a haberdashery, but I know youd call it cool. I dig everything the British designer is up to- the striped iPod holder and the black leather laptop bag...especially buttery.

Ill just need to make a bit more cheddar before I bless the closet with a full wardrobe from the man, but rest assured, Im planning on it.

This morning I saw the above bike in the NYT Style Magazine. I dont normally pay attention to motorcycles, but these limited editon Paul Smith Triumph's riggidy rock. And the one-off versions rock even harder. Hear for yourself:

For a few years Ive been visiting Wooster Collective, my favorite site on the web for art. There surely have been other places to go that provided equal amounts of unique pleasures...but this is still the spot.

So, I was especially pleased when Rob Walker covered the site in the NYT Sunday Magaine (10-03-04). "Favorites" is an understatement, but that doesnt mean you shouldnt add this to yours.

Holy Toledo

The Winter 2000 'Hip Hop Nation' exhibit at the Brooklny Museum http://www.time.com/time/sampler/article/0,8599,55635,00.html) included among other things a great collection of hip hop flyers. And the scene in which The Biz reminsces about the old days in Rhyme & Reason (extras, I think) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120014/, steals the show.

But this collection of bills I just stumbled on online is absolute bliss for me and mine.
