Daft Punk x David Lynch Dance Party
Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” off their top selling album Random Access Memories has been subjected, like most popular things, to parody. Here is one from YouTube user jcs101010, who has skillfully juxtaposed the track with scenes of the works of David Lynch. The bulk of the footage comes from the episode of Twin Peaks where The Man From [...]
Problem Ft. Riff Raff & Bad Lucc Like Whaat Skeemix
Jay Z had 99 of these, but Riff Raff and Bad Lucc seem to have only one — and split between them, that’s like half a problem each — Like Whaaat is their track, ‘skeemixed’ by DJ Skee [LOL], and we don’t have a problem posting it here, and dancing like no one’s watching, even if [...]
A Private Viewing of Gisele Bundchen in BLK DNM Photographed by Johan Lindeberg
This morning we were listening to ‘Crave You’ by Flight Facilities, just cause, and Gisele was dancing around in her underwear in the video. Here, another video, featuring the hottest Brazilian ever? Swedish denim entrepreneur turned photographer Johan Lindeberg shot his pal GISELE over an easy-breezy two hour period not for a big campaign, not [...]

Stella McCartney Fragrance 2013 Video Campaign
Marc Jacobs said he felt he’d arrived when he created his first fragrance. Maybe Stella McCartney feels the same? She’s launched a new fragrance and a video campaign to accompany it. The opening looks a bit like a slow motion sneeze from a Bill Nye science video, transitioning to a monochromatic kaleidoscopic pineapple, or what [...]
Lomography Pop 9
Sometimes we love technology. Other times, it drives us mad. But one thing is for certain — we can’t live without it. We are chronic Instagrammers and we love photography in general. It’s nice to bring it back to an organic feel sometimes, so we are really into the Lomography Pop 9 camera. Slated as [...]

Like Thought Catalog but with hard-won wisdom and humility to its credit, David Cain’s Aptitudeis one of the most engrossing sites out there dealing with managing and optimizing the daily human condition. Cain has laser-pointed his own problems with Occam’s Razor and, unlike the average Thought Catalog contributor, aims to actually do something about them [...]
David Gensler – Being Human
There’s an old Spanish saying that I found tucked inside a pack of matches: “Tell me who you run with and I’ll tell you who you are.” They say that life is all about relationships; don’t find jobs, find people. Brooklyn resident David Gensler has made his entire livelihood off of relationships — both in [...]

Daft Punk’s ‘Random Access Memories’: Officially A Best-Seller
We already knew it was going to be huge — between the already iconic “Get Lucky’s” success, those SNL slots, and even a RACECAR — but Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories is on track to one of 2013′s best-sellers. So far, the estimates Stateside clock in at around 300k, putting it just behind Justin Timberlake’s [...]
Carine Roitfeld – A Givenchy Gypsy for Fall 2013 Campaign

The fashionable fashion family affair are joined alongside Amanda Seyfried, Spanish actor Quim Gutiérrez and [...]

Suave Like Sauvé – Sebastian Sauvé
We picked a model’s brain to see if there was anything in there and it turns out that Sebastian Sauvé (Premier London) is more than just a pretty boy. Even if he is the ultimate model-photographer cliche. I mean when you look like this, you have to ride the wave, any which way it goes. [...] >>
The BLVCK SCVLE Theory
A tinge of Soho, a pinch of Fifth Ave, a linger of Rodeo Drive. This physically describes Black Scale NYC, a just-down-the-road yet out of the way menswear destination. On a slate grey cobblestone street in the city that never sleeps, a sliding door entrance opens to a polished all-black-everything ‘man cave’ if you will. [...] >>
Ink Philosophy: Jun Cha

Jay Strut
It’s not about who you know. It’s about knowing who you are. And strutting your stuff. That’s kind of what I’ve gathered from Jay Strut, a Toronto-based fashion blogger. We’re still getting used to this term and it’s definition, much to the annoyance of established fashion journalists and editors, who work to keep fashions’ gates [...] >>
Honest to Goodness Mr. Dougie

Located on Bloor and Bathurst Sts, in the safe, culturally vibrant Annex neighbourhood, the one-of-a-kind retail space lights up like a 1940′s Hollywood movie trailer. Oozing [...] >>
Jason Ierace – Gun For Hire
Finding cool stuff online is like making rapid fire but unrelated connections in your brain – one second you’re thinking about puppies and the next you’re contemplating life on Mars. How does it happen? Random. But interesting. Stream of conscious. Starting out with lord only knows what at this point, I skipped across photographer Jason [...] >>
