Top Of The Shops

Yesterday I was in Soho and decided to treat myself, and check out New York's (and North America's) first TopShop store. Its giant. There are four floors jammed with shopping teens and teens sales ladies and it was kinda of a sensory overload for me. Moments before I had an autistic meltdown I was able to find a safe space in a corner of the store that was highlighting the designs of illustrator/designer Vanessa Da Silva. It was the sweetest spot in the entire store! Her inspiration was 'The Jungle Goes Shopping' and her collection is loaded with prints like the one above (how friggin cute is that? Camels in heels and lipstick, monkeys loaded with jewelry, carrying two or three purses at a time!).

This Is How We Do It

Finally a group of people who are getting serious about being animals, and in the process putting unused sporting goods equipment to use. I applaud this effort. I understand the hats pulled over their faces is a playful attempt at animal realism but it kinda looks like some sorta abu ghraib nightmare.

An Elephant Never Forgets

Oh fine, you are probably saying to yourself. Just another Elephant 'trunk play' video. Nothing to see here. Everyone knows elephants have very accommodating b holes. Not so fast- this ending is like some M. Night Shamalyan level suprise.
