its not so much that we love the design, but we love the idea and the bag itself feels and is quite special. everyone should have at least of of these, 1- you’ll be supporting a great nation with so much to admire, 2- you’ll be sporting an item blessed by yohji with out dropping thousands, 3-this is no typical canvas bag, there is coating/treatment on the fabric that makes the material feel quite special and nice, 4- its made in u.s.a., 5- it’s only $10… only disadvantage is how much of that could possibly be going to japan as the bag itself feels like a $60 item already. that said head down to the Y3 store, at 92 greene st, between prince and spring in soho and grab one for your next grocery visit. by bh

years ago i was at my favorite chinese dentist in california due for a filling and i asked this eloquent doctor of mine, why it was that even though i brushed twice a day and flossed i had to deal with cavities? i said a lion for example, does little of that and seems to be keeping his pearly whites? the answer was mind opening. he said “well… there are really two reasons. for one, man in its natural state consumes a fraction of the sugar humans consume today, but more importantly our organs and bodies have not evolved as quickly as mans life has changed at his own hands. in nature you would have died of a virus, if not eaten by a predator by age 20.” i for one would have been dead at the age of 8 when i got a strep-throat with a fever of 103. without todays available antibiotics, the infection would have reached my heart and i would have met my “baker” long ago. i was telling this story today, and jr looked this up. sure enough the average age of cavemen was indeed 20. you would have mated at age 13 and been eaten by age 20. so count your blessing as most of us are now on borrowed time. by dd+jr
so there is no question we are living in desperate times, where centuries of social evolution and intellectual discourse has been turned into complacency, backwards ideology, business propaganda, and religious zealotry. were the quest for a better social system has been replaced with what lady gaga wore to her dentists appointment. i for one was actually looking forward to today, and i’m a bit disappointed! that said at around 1pm i did see someone suspiciously jesus like, glowing under the florescent lights, at whole foods. on second take i saw him shaking his head in disappointment in the organic fruit isle, the same apple that brought man to this state was sitting there in full organic glory… and was on sale! i myself was at the fish market, pondering which toxins to cook up for my last supper? the tuna steak with mercury that we’ve laced our oceans with, or the contaminated radioactive konago from the pacific. i finally settled for some cheap wine and bread, at least that was semi-official and blessed by the boss. but all this is not the main concern. while we’re busy spending our future like a pimp with a stolen carte blanché (sorry graydon for butchering your quote) hunting down one religious extreme the other 2 seem to be spreading like wildfire. i guess if man has finally decided to take this ancient route rather than education and the relentless desire to ask questions, the end might as well be welcomed. if nothing, jesus can surely straighten out glodman sachs… and just maybe, even world peace? well, its still 11:53, we have a few more minutes… if you don’t see another post from us, you know where to find us… penthouse b, at the edge of heaven.

i have always spoke of sweden and the nordic states as the pinnacle of civilized world, as something US and the rest of the world should look up to. today i am so disappointed to see that even there everything is up for sale. by xy
