* love me because i'm going green...

or at least make it look like you are if you aren't doing your part for the environment......& look super cool at it! check out yava's dope line of beer & wine bottles that have had their necks chopped off & transformed into fun glassware & ashtrays. i think i will update my wack cabinetry of glasses with these babies. a full set of 8 would be awesome don't you think?

if the alcoholic versions are too racy for you, there are options in soda pop, seltzer water, & energy drink brands as well.

ecentrik shoe artistry is a philadelphia based company that custom designs sneakers using flashy comic bookish color schemes to create eye grabbing artwork. via phone or email, you will convey your design vision to the company's owner & designer, elom, & work out logistics like cost (generally $150 - $300, sneakers included), turnaround time (~2-3 weeks), & sneaker brand. once you approve a mock design of your sneaker, elom removes factory finishes, applies primer, & creates art. he finishes the artwork off with a protective clear finish that aids in crack resistance. way to be unique!

for those of you who may doubt your inner designer, ecentrik has 17 pre-painted styles that you can choose from (pics posted of pre-painted styles)....

* a must read...

the throwback pic of these two, gianni & donatella versace, is so fabulous! i expect the book to be just as fab!! the book tells of the siblings' ups & downs - of gianni versace's murder in 1997, of donatella's battle with drugs & her rehabilitation, of the rivalry with their brother santo, & the story behind why gianni left the majority of his fashion empire to donatella's daughter allegra. i think it will be pretty interesting. the book hit stores today so go get your copy fashion heads!!!
