This is fantastic. You put in your date of birth and it tells you who died on the day you were born. Genius. Pure genius.

Strangely it is found within the page of a dating site - go figure.

Mimobots are cool USB pen drives - for you to store your data on when on the move between PC’s. I got a darth vader for xmas - cheers folks its fab, and I purchased a Tokidoki one too. They’ve today released Series 3 of the Star Wars range. Click on the image below to visit the Mimobots website.

I never really liked the concept of the Yo MTV range of Puma Trainers. I dont listen to enough rap and I always find that any rap fashion I try on makes me look silly - really silly. Someone who’s far too old and is trying to be ‘down with the kids’. Anyway this weekend I found a pair of DJ Cash Money Pumas from the Yo MTV range. And they’re great. (more…)

Ok maybe I would never actually be allowed to convert my entire home into a video game but with the cool stuff over at What is Blik I can at least dream. There is a range of ‘decals’ (reuseable stickers to those of us who have yet to grow up) here that involve some great nintendo characters. You can now turn any room into your house into a virtual Super Mario World or fight Donkey Kong every day. Genius.

Just quick post about the service available from Nike iD. Text a pic from your mobile phone, assuming you’re in the UK here, to 88247 - with the message ‘Dunk’. Nike will take the image and use two of the colours in it to build you a pair of trainers. You’ll then be emailed with info on how you can purchase your bespoke Nike iD. Will post my trainers from the gig I was at last week when I get home and get the pic off my phone.
More info available @ http://www.akqa.com/nikephotoid/. You may need to use Internet Explorer to see the video - Firefox took a dislike to it and wouldn’t play it.

Over the past week I’ve been getting my Summer holiday wardrobe into order. Jeans, shorts, shoes and t shirts. Here are the t shirts that I think no self respecting  independent fashionista or fan of fashion should be without this summer.

In the same way that I evolved from Takashi Murakami prints into those by Chiho Aoshima my tastes in trainers is developing. I still have my mad cultural fascination with everything from Japan but my tastes are altering over time. Gone is my fascination with the neon-day-glo styles and increasingly I’m being interested by the more subtle expressions of culture, architecture and design I’m finding. My recent new desire is for the trainers designed by Jhung Yuro.

Was just doign some wandering when I randomly wandered into Kill Shop Kill - what a name. Anyway it would appear that there has been a level of cultural exchange between th US and the UK in fashion design. There were a number of t-shirts I found on the site that reminded me hugely of the Henry Holland gear that seems to be all the rage. As such I decided to go looking for some cool t’s for the Summer, nb. I know most people will have done their Summer shopping by now but in Scotland Summer has yet to start. (more…)

Strangeco have released information about their new set of limited edition Tokidoki. Instead of the traditional day-glo colors that we all have our Tokidoki vinyl in these are in a phenomenal ‘grayscale’ color scheme. If you want some of these you are going to have to move fast as only 250 pieces have been made. The whole Cactus Friends range is available in this new monochromatic scheme. (more…)

One of the most fantastic things in the entire universe is trainers (if you’re living outside the UK you may call them ’sneakers’). Trainers - along with Marlboro and rum - help to block the entire world out. My personal predeliction is for Puma trainers. Retro styling, the calm simplicity of them, elegant lines and the variation on the design is almost endless.
Today I discovered my new lover - Reebok Reverse Jam Trainers. These are even more beautiful than my black/orange Pele’s, my multi-coloured Clydes or even my most beloved Adidas Adicolor Y2. If anyone knows where I can these in the UK I will worship you forever.
