Behold, Eve—the world’s tallest model who clocks in at 7 feet tall. Also behold the smaller model in the shoot, who’s just starting to figure out she was only hired to serve as “contrast” and to do failed high fives. Behold MOD—short in stature, long on style.

This Friday, starting at 6 pm, they’re breaking in the space with a grand opening party, “Experiement No. 1,” and I’m already looking forward to “Experiment No. 2” […]

Acceptable?
I saw a non-hippie girl wearing these barefoot shoes over the summer and didn’t think twice about it. But this weekend I saw an attractive, non-hippie guy wearing these and was utterly repulsed. Why am I having such a strong reaction about a dude wearing these shoes, and no volatile lady reaction? Maybe because she […]

Your Daily Dose of Star Wars News for Thursday, November 5, 2009!

Last Catlin Gabel Sale Ever This Weekend
The annual Catlin Gabel school’s giant rummage sale has long been circled on the calendar of every avid thrifter in town—65 years, in fact. It’s had the reputation of being a repository for castoffs from some of Portland’s richest families, where one could therefore plunder for fancy labels and good quality in clothing, housewares, and […]

Behold via Buzzfeed a new web series called “Put This On,” for men. It’s kinda informative, kinda funny, and seems geared for guys who kinda want to look nice but are kinda shy about feeling ignorant. As you can tell I’m feeling very “kinda” on this. But I do like the “rudimentary” guy on the […]

Heavy Syrup
Not to keep harping on how awesome Content was (but it was), but one of my favorite rooms at the event was Luxury Jones‘. In it, two films were projected simultaneously on the wall of the room, together the collective tale of a wild night out with lots of costume changes (all Luxury Jones’ hot-ass […]

Etsy Fails
I can’t take credit for rounding these up—that would go to the fabulous Ashkan of the Day After—at least one of which has already joined the ranks of hilarity on Regretsy, but you need to know what’s out there on Etsy. Shop carefully. $135 DOLLARS????!!!! Oh yes, and there’s more. Hit the break, and check […]
