Pollinate Me

These frisky bee's have no shame! Just look at them performing ungodly deeds in watercolor - it's blasphemous.

Lust, an erotic boutique in Copenhagen, worked with Grey to twist the classic tale of pollination to a stickier level. Genius!

Diesel: Seaing is Believing

Diesel's new Style Lounge is so breathtaking that you just have to check it out for yourself.

Even though I'm not a huge fan of their clothing, the web design is so captivating that it keeps you glued longer than most sites.

And that's genius on their part because the longer they engage viewers, the more likely they are to adopt the brand as their own.

Must Haves

I picked up a few magazines and a new Moleskine squared notebook today.

Two new finds:

Fantastic Man
Pretty much the best fashion/culture magazine for men.










The Journal
Has some really great articles/interviews of culture shapers . There are also some fantastic photographs and illustrations. I got lost in it for a few hours.

Not So Standard


There are some things I miss about Los Angeles - like pastrami sandwiches at Canters, midnight drives along Mulholland Dr., Too Big For Your Own Good Boobies (2BFYoGB), and The Standard (you've gotta love human aquariums). Where else could you drink a 40 and talk sudoku with the Hiltons? What's great about this ad is that it really plays up the brand identity of the hotel - i.e. the upside down marquis. Add the rooster to the mix and you have a genius print ad (for those who don't understand, stay a night at The Standard in West Hollywood and tell me what your head feels like in the morning).
