Andrej - East Village Boy of the Week


Andrej, from Bratislava, Slovakia is this weeks East Village Boy of the Week.
Go check out the complete shoot by Peter Janáčik at East Village Boys.





Done by Alessio



You're probably already familiar with Spanish artist Alessio. Maybe you remember the post on my blog featuring that great comic Fettuccini Carbonara, which I posted about a year ago. Or maybe you've already visited his blog Alessio in Wonderland which is in my Places Worth Visiting list on the right.

Well, yesterday I received this great illustration in my mailbox. It's me posing in my favourite spot in the South of France, done by Alessio. The face looks really like my face and the body is a little more muscular than I am in real life, but you don't hear me complain about that! Thank you so much Alessio!

New Spice


The commercial above immediately made Old Spice hip again. Or at least gave it some attention in a positive way (I really have no idea what it smells like to be honest, but here in The Netherlands it was always associated with having no taste). The commercial, created by Wieden + Kennedy became a hit on the internet, so it was no surprise to see the first spoofs!

Below is Sesamestreet's Grover doing the commercial in a Muppets way.


And ofcourse when you mix two popular YouTube phenomenons you'll get the Old Spice VS That Blender Guy video below (thanks for placing that one on Facebook, Parandchen!).

Homecoming Day


Looks like I'm not the only one celebrating Homecoming Day today. The miners in Chili are being rescued as well and CNN is broadcasting it live. Beautiful to see and although I'm a very down to earth person, I tear up every time a miner reaches the surface and sees his beloved ones. Beautiful television!

I Am Blanket's Father



So, what do you think? Just an idea of mine. Should I stick to just blogging or should I make up silly t-shirts? This one probably already exists in someone's brain, but still, wanted to share it with you anyway. Oh, and I hereby © the text!

AussieBum - MyDay



Last year on my birthday I got a bundle of socks. 7 pairs of black socks with 7 different coloured ridges. I really found that a stupid gift. Who gets socks from their friends?? But now, one year later, I really appreciate them when I'm having a sock bundling party!

But this post is not about socks, it's about underwear. AussieBum released two of their seven MyDay Collector's Items. Monday and Tuesday are now available, the rest will follow soon. So which ones do you like best? The briefs or the trunks? Or don't you like AussieBums at all?

Oh and is it just me, or does this video really seem to be inspired
by Madonna's Celebration campaign?

Name that Tune #151


What song can you see wordled up above?

Guess!



Guess which one of these cuties will be home again tomorrow! Counting the hours here and jumping up and down and down and up again! He's somewhere between Hongkong and Amsterdam now, sleeping or sipping Champagne. Tomorrow we're gonna share a bottle of booze together again!

Hot Summer by Ben Lamberty


Ben Lamberty photographed this editorial called "Hot Summer" for Coitus Magazine, featuring models Devin Paisley, Julian Feitma, Lars Burmeister, Matt Loewen, Sydney, and Time Rueger (via homotrophy).





The Simpsons VS Banksy



In what has to be one of the most closely guarded secrets in TV history, the "couch gag" opening of last night's episode of The Simpsons was storyboarded and directed by none other than UK-based street-artist Banksy.

You Made Your Bed. Now Lie In It



Yes please! If I owned this beautiful tree bed made by Shawn Lovell Metalworks I would never get up anymore. I'd be lying in it the whole day staring at that beautiful bird's nest topping this beauty. Good thing it costs $ 15,000, so I'm never gonna buy it. Lovely though!
