LV - Monogrammed House Paint

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Talk about house paint. We’re guessing this image is doctored, but how cool (?) would it be to have a Louis Vuitton-monogrammed home?

You’d finally know what it’s like to be a lap dog in a celebrity’s Speedy bag. What’s next, a Dior picket fence?

The Work Of Jeffar Khaldi

Friday, July 30th, 2010

The chaos and confusion of Lebanese-born, Dubai-based artist Jeffar Khaldi’s artwork reflect the conflicts, disruption, and constant remaking of history endemic in his home region.

Khaldi’s work jumbles violent, erotic, and religious subjects, with a hint at a general malaise towards the modernity, industrialization, and colonialism that begat much of the strife in the Middle East.

Toilets Of The World

Friday, July 30th, 2010

The new book “Toilets of the World” examines the various approaches that different cultures take for relieving themselves.

Authors Mona E. Gregory and Sian James begin with a brief history of the toilet, from Middle Ages chamber pots to the invention of the flush toilet.

The monograph uses a anthropological lens to examine the evolution and current incarnations of the toilet, in the hope that it “provides a cultural and sociological analysis of the people who occupy different regions throughout the world.” Divided by continent and country, the book highlights the varying degrees of creativity and technology of the WC.
