fake apple “stoer” in china

effort was made to replicate the material and even the ads inside the store

the iconic blue t shirts and the large id tags where all there

even the store name was “spelled” out just in case you missed the subtlety… granted apple store never uses signage that states it as an “apple store” let alone apple steor.

 

forget the vuitton knock offs and i trust you saw our post about the fake chinese macbook air (laptop for $260), and now this! a free standing store!! a US blooger on a trip to china’s kunming city discovered the “fake” store. after checking with apple about the presence of this store she praises the villains on her blog… “beautiful ripoff- a brilliant one-the best ripoff store i have ever seen”. in her conversations with the staff she was amazed to find that many were convinced that they were employed by the US electronics firm. apple itself has so far refused to comment and its not clear where the “fake” store is getting the products from. clearly not from apple directly!! by cd

vanitas staring the royal danish ballet’s rising stars, josephine berggren and hilary guswiler

 

our dear camilla does it again. fun debauchery and the usual suspects at the wooly on bastille day. always fun always easy. the gathering was to celebrate the preview of fashion designer, camilla staerk’s autumn/winter 2012 collection which was the basis of the film vanitas (above) by director barnaby roper, styled by sarah ellison. the film was inspired by photorealist painter hans henrik lerfeldt known for his over-sized insects juxtaposed with classical beauties… in this case, the royal danish ballet’s rising stars, josephine berggren and hilary guswiler. music score by sune rose wagner of the raveonettes. by xy

Salvador Allende’s glasses


so it is being said that the recent forensic evidence point to president allende having committed suicide in his last hours at the presidential palace which was under siege by augusto pinochet’s henchmen… well so many years later, and here we are. either way it was an illegal over-throw, of not only an elected leader, but of a great human. by jp
