Of course I was skeptical. But what can I say, I’m an optimist. I totally hoped Old Forge pizza would rock. It really didn’t, but I can say this: if served in elementary schools, it would be the best damn school lunch pizza ever.

At first sight you say “God no!” - but then try it, and you say “Oh, yes!”.

This is but one of the many awesome things in store for you at Betabrand.

Just a quick test here: Ozzie in his top-of-the-fridge warming spot.

Loving this!  After expecting to read that some artist in Brooklyn made it, i found out that actually this is created with much more excitement (to me) and history.  Each purse uses a traditional Guatemalan woman’s blouse turned inside out and is assembled by Artisans in Antigua.  Its celebrating the artistry of Guatemalan women weavers. The price now makes sense. ($60 supermarkethq)

Suck it haters!

Audrey won’t let me post the video, so here’s a pic. She rocked her power cleans today.

You can never really know how it’s going to turn out in the world, but you know if you enjoy doing it. And ideas start flowing and you start getting excited about stuff. Then you’re having a great time in the doing, and that’s what it’s all about. If you don’t enjoy the doing, then do something else.

SHARK WEEK GONE BAD

There are zillions of snapshots and postcards of fisherpeople showing off their catch of the day, proud of their ephemeral trophies.

So this woman catches an adult Hammerhead in the 1950s. Why not really beef up the show-and-tell and lay out all 46 unborn babies—and put it on a postcard!

What did they do with all the little ones? I’ll guess that they were taxidermied and sold to tourists at gift shops.

Sorry to start off your shark week this way, but this has to be seen. Welcome to BAD POSTCARDS.

Verso: “A great Hammerhead Shark with 46 young. Estimated to weigh approximately 1000 lbs., and 11 feet long. Caught near the Bahia Honda Bridge and it took 4 hours to land. Caught by Wilma Branter, of Ye Olde Feshin Hole, Marathon (on the Florida Keys) Fla.”
