Nepenthes Melange Socks

Selectism - nepenthes-ankle-sock-01

We’re not crazy about ankle socks. They’re usually too much of a halfway house for our tastes. But these Nepenthes socks are making us reconsider our hardline stance. That said, we’re still on the fence with ankle socks, we’ve had too much experience to let some bright colours fool us. That said, if you’re the ankle sock type (and have a willingness to go through a proxy for a pair of socks) these are the ones for you. (Arknets)

01. Eyal Weizman

“This issue features a microinterview with Eyal Weizman, conducted by Alex Carp. Weizman is the director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths College, University of London. Together with Sandi Hilal and Alessandro Petti, he’s one of the founding members of Decolonizing Architecture, an architectural studio/residency based in Bethlehem that uses architecture as a tool for expression and political activism within the conflicts of Israel and Palestine. His next book, Least of All Possible Evils, will be published by Verso in the fall. The bulk of his design work focuses on how architecture might address political problems; much of his writing focuses on how, in settings varying from war zones to occupations and familiar city centers, it has failed to do so. The Believer had a chance to speak with him during the Creative Time Summit at Cooper Union, where he presented some of his recent work.” (Believer).

02. Diego Maradona agrees to manage Dubai team Al Wasl

“Diego Maradona has been appointed as the new manager of United Arab Emirates club Al Wasl.” (BBC).

03. Will travel for food

“NYC may be the center of the dining universe, but these destination restaurants provide great excuses for a day trip.” (Time Out).

04. Coffee Traditions: Cowboy Coffee (Above)

“Whether you’re thinking about making your home on the range or simply spending a weekend roughing it in the woods (or huddled in a pillow fort in your living room), a cup of joe’s always close at hand—provided you’ve got ground coffee and a way to boil water.” (Serious Eats).

“Liz Earls, Days of the Cougar” Book

selectism - "Liz Earls, Days of the Cougar" Book

Liz Earls quit her job at 40. She embarked on a sexual journey, documenting conquests and her life as a “cougar.” Liz Earls: Days of the Cougar Liz Earls, Days of the Cougar Book collects the artist’s brilliant self portraits and the tales of the men she met. Titillating, for sure, but also simply a remarkable document of a rather ambitious project. (Earls estimates she has sex four to six times a day, often with multiple partners).

Forthcoming from Taschen this July 2011. Page views follow.

Pre-order from Amazon Liz Earls, Days of the Cougar Book .

Reyn Spooner Spring/Summer 2011 Swim Looks

Reyn Spooner Spring/Summer 2011 Swim Looks

More shorts for the season. Reyn Spooner delivers some looks at their current Spring/Summer 2011 collection.  I love this descript. from their mailer: “Available in both solids and a wide variety of prints, the swimwear avoids the over-used Hawaiian motif of tropical flowers, instead opting for unique interpretations of island tribesmen, the Hawaiian Royal Family crest, and an outrigger boat, an icon of the South Pacific.” Hey, you still get some Hawaii in there! They’re available in three lengths so fear not if you expecting nothing but the shorter side. Hug on.
