Sidekick obsessed (you know who you are) rejoice! Rumor has it that the Sidekick3 will drop on July 10th and it’s looking pretty sharp with some nice upgrades. Almost makes me want to trade in the Blackberry.
Almost.

ArtFusion Experiment documentary teaser

June 14th, 2006 -- posted in Word on the Street, Visuals, Indie, Sweet Indie

Since hearing of the ArtFusion Experiment, I’ve wondered why it never took off into mainstream as I think it is a brilliant idea. The project brings together today’s most prominent and skilled tattooists to create on canvas collectively. While the general idea is common, I have yet to see such an intriguing and […]

Your very own Amada Lepore

March 10th, 2006 -- posted in Newness, Word on the Street, Body Modi

Oh… admit it, you want one.
You can have tea parties and wear matching outfits. You can go shopping together and read the Sunday paper on Sunday night after being out and about all Saturday into the wee hours and you lug the paper home in a vodka induced stupor.
Well, Jeffery always has […]
