style cravings

boombox london

Considering that Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year, it's easy to see why I would love to have Boombox in NYC. If you want a mini tour with Agyness Deyn and Henry Holland, head to Style.com for their video clip.

I found these images on hannulelaurai's Myspace page, which induced fantasies of a futuristic themed party. Of course, London must be Nu Raved out with all of the neon splash going on at Boombox, but New York could use an injection of uber-colorful futuristic partying. Dancing to my grandparents' tunes at Beatrice Inn the other night just didn't groove me...my immune system has been fighting the retro bug for some time now.

But please don't overdose on robo love!

wear your politics

The Swedes want to remind you that politics can be trendy. Swedish company, T-post, has given the ubiquitous tee a makeover by transforming it into a "wearable magazine." 

As reported by FWD, "It's basically a subscription to a magazine, but instead of slick publications, members receive inspiring current events printed on American Apparel t-shirts.

The way it works is, every six weeks a t-shirt will arrive in the mail that has some image or drawing on it to represent a hot topic in the news. The drawings, designed by the T-post team, attempt to represent an issue or concern happening in the world. Examples include concerns about the Big Brother effect, water pollution issues, altruism, gun control, or can even just be something funny overheard on the street.

Inside each shirt is a narrative to represent the image on the shirt. For example, the topic of the May issue is: "Man and machine, a match made in…heaven?", a story that focuses on the topic of robots becoming a part of our social environment. The front of the shirt represents an idea of this dilemma, while inside an article discusses a story based on intelligent robot's rights and responsibility as they become part of society’s citizens."

Each (tee) issue costs $35.
