city biking: fold it up
my bike was stabbed last week. I think it might be about time to get a foldable one that I can carry up my six flights of stairs and hide under my bed. I quite like this one by areaware.

Prada logo treatment: follow me to hell
nop! this package and its logo placement was not the result of some chinese quality control
the double logo and the label appears to be an afterthought. really?so what does a luxury brand like prada do when everyone’s trying to be lux? seeing the latest logo treatments at the parda store made me wonder for a bit… i saw a random half cut logo on the cap of some cosmetic pack, the fragrance box with the double logo on the box, one covering the other… like someone saying their name twice upon introduction. the first name quietly and muffled and the second, bold and pronounced. this of course is a major no no in design, but with fashion in general anything goes, all bets are off. they even make wallpaper patterns out of their logos (i bet that made the marketing directors excited), i cant help but equate such behavior with one of those tacky celeb PR shots infront of some logo plastered wall for some vodka of the day, after all that’s the real purpose, so lets not be shy. but this is not always the case with madam prada. not only the double logo is there for no good reason, they took great pains to design it as thought it was haphazardly placed over the second, or even better, just casually running off the cap. like one of those “i just woke-up” haircuts that took hours to do. but to their credit what else could prada do? whatever prada does is knocked off within weeks, i mean every monkey now has a perfume with one of those ‘squeezable testicles’ that prada reintroduced… maybe this is the latest way to separate yourself and say… ok you wanna follow/copy me? go right ahead… i’m jumping out the window. by dd
socialisme : by Jean-Luc Godard (2010)
why has no one been talking about jean-luc godard‘s new film socialisme? it screened at the recent cannes film festival and described as his most recent ‘avant meditation’. looking forward to something more dimensional to cross the pond into a theater near me. i’ll have more to share once i’ve seen it myself, but from what i’ve read here (and with godard being described as stan brakhage crossed with noam chomsky), there are some explorations in the film that will be interesting to be brought into the conversation. by kl

the black belles – worshipping paul

stolen picasso: What would Inspector Clouseau do?
picasso’s stolen materpiece – the pigeon with the peas
humiliated police officers
wednesday night a lone robber entered the paris museum of modern art and stole five original painting, including a picasso, modigliani, and braque. the monetary damage is estimated to be around 100,000,000 euros. the lone robber entered the museum by breaking a window and smashing a pad lock. yes, as many of you may be thinking, what poor security for a place holding billions of euros worth of famous artwork. but leave it to the french. in their defense, somewhat, their security system was down the night of the heist. was this an inside job? wait, i almost forgot that three guards are on duty at all times and they “saw nothing.” once the robber was inside, undetected, he very carefully cut the five paintings out of the frames. reps from the museum were quoted saying that the burglar was obviously very well organized. that’s a thought… or the security system is obviously under par. but tomato tamato. i wonder what our favorite french inspector, jacques clouseau, would have to say about this? by nh
Puma: the king kong of ping pong
tag it up!
or just wipe your hands…
storage plus a pair of ash legs
hmmm… metal chain link fence? not my favorite bit
that said this is one hell of a ping pong table, considering the details and manufacturing, such as the ceramic chalk surface backed by steel plate and the black ash wooden legs. the table not only looks amazing its guaranteed to perform considering its designer, and our friend, johan liden himself is an avid ping ponger. (the clip link is just like johan… on vacation). chalk – for puma by aruhliden. debuts in new york, early june at the conran shop… bring your black chalk amex. by dd
you can’t miss “tetro”
sometimes there are things i don’t understand. for instance, i really don’t get why daddy coppola’s tetro went so unnoticed and so untold about. here is the story: i was in paris a couple of months ago and it was getting released there. critics were totally crazy over the movie saying it’s such a great movie, coppola was interviewed on every radio, tv and so on to talk about it. when i get back here, i checked to see when the us release was to see it again. what i saw was a bit strange, the movie was released eight months before, and it had no press at all, nothing! it was featured in two theaters for two days… what’s going on? that’s a really beautiful movie, gallo is very good, black and white is perfect…you can’t miss that, you know what to do this weekend. by pp’
roma “citta aperta” x christian from phoenix
was checking the Phoenix diary the other day and i saw this old post by christian. he was basically saying he went to one of those small theater in paris for a screening of rosselini’s roma, citta aperta, and was alone in the room, so i guess he had fun… well i think the images are really nice. worth sharing. by pp’
