Your Trash is My Treasure

The RD4 (Roughly Drawn) Chair is an instantly iconic design hand-woven in 100% recycled plastic waste material, with no two chairs being exactly alike. The RD4 Chair is a tour de force piece heralding the future of sustainable design, and makes a striking visual statement uniquely its own. Much stronger than its airy openness might imply, the inherent flexibility of its plastic construction allows for it to naturally respond to the weight of an occupant. It's available for $1,198 in five colors: Black, Blue, Green, Orange, and Red (slight color variation is natural.)

The Transition of The View

After Meredith Vieira left "The View", I was very sad and thinking about stop watching the show, until Ms. Rosie came along. I have to admit that I didn't agree with everything she said but we need somebody who's outspoken for our community. It was good to see her discuss "Gay Rights" on the morning show. After Ms. Rosie left the show from fighting with that irritating right-wing Elizabeth, I deleted the show from my TiVo's program. Now, there is a rumor that it may be a "gay guy" to replace Rosie, either the comedian - Mario Cantone or the intern - Ross Mathews. Just hope that some day they will fire that annoying blond.

It's Officially Summer !!!

Today is solstice day which occurs twice a year, whenever Earth's axis tilts the most toward or away from the Sun, causing the Sun to be farthest north or south at noon. The name is derived from Latin sol (sun) and sistere (to stand still), because at the solstice, the Sun stands still in declination, that is, its movement north or south is minimal. In the Northern hemisphere, the period around the June solstice is known as midsummer, and Midsummer's Day is 24 June, three or four days after the solstice itself.

We Call It "Circuit Party"

In 1994,the US Army planned to arm itself with "gay bombs" that would turn enemies into uncontrollable homosexuals. The enemies would left helpless by mass gay orgies, as soldiers were irresistibly attracted to one another. The documents indicate the project titled "Harassing, Annoying and 'Bad Guy' Identifying Chemicals" would have cost at least $7.5 million. From my experience; just throw in some dance music and XTC - you can create one big "orgy".

Little Did You Know

Coca-cola once contained cocaine. Coca-cola was introduced in 1886 as "a valuable brain-tonic and cure for all nervous afflictions". Coca-cola was promoted as a temperance drink "offering the virtues of coca without the vices of alcohol". Until 1903, a typical serving contained around 60mg of cocaine. Sold today, it still contains an extract of coca-leaves. The Coca-Cola Company imports eight tons from South America each year. Nowadays the leaves are used only for flavouring since the drug has been removed.

Chanel L.A.

Chanel will open 14,700-square-foot store designed by Peter Marino at 400 North Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills in August. Architect Marino modeled the store's facade after a Chanel No.5 perfume box, carving out two separate entrances for the contiguous fashion and fine jewelry outposts. Marino's other standout design flourish promises to be the rooftop terrace's facade, where thousands of tone-on-tone LED-lit double-C Chanel logos will shine. Five specially commissioned art works will be scattered around the shop, including a Johan Cretan porcelain torso with camellia flourishes and a François-Xavier Lalanne bronze sculpture of a stag, inspired by a piece that belonged to Coco Chanel. Peter Dayton, Jean-Michel Othoniel and Paola Pivi round out the house's artistic stable. Furniture designers Patrick Fredrikson and Ian Stallard also created a piece. SOURCE

Smell Like Courvoisier

Courvoisier released its own fragrance called "L’Edition Imperiale". Bottled in a robust Italian flacon with detailing across the metal cap and frette, the rich fragrance has spicy top notes of coriander and cardamon, complemented by more mellow base notes of vetiver and amber. The fragrance has been developed very much in accord with the brand's heritage: wood notes are reminiscent of traditional barrels, while leather and smoked tea are reminiscent of a private club.
