Re-ment Miniature set

Re-ment is insane! I cannot believe there’s a miniature taiyaki. Ridic!

With toys like this, why isn’t Mattel packing it in? Seriously!

The Tragedy of Macbeth Noah Lukeman

Noah Lukeman imagines the fulfillment of the witches’ prophecy in Macbeth, in his new book due October 2008, The Tragedy of Macbeth, Part II, The Seed of Banquo. The book is written in blank verse, following Shakespearean style – a play in five acts. As a Macbeth lover (Othello topping the list) I cannot wait to revisit the original play before delving into Lukeman’s continuation of events!

New York City Food Film Fest starts this weekend. Yum!

(I know, the graphic is a stretch, but who doesn’t like a donut? Especially one that looks like it’s a ferris wheel in the sky? More on all things donut in the following post.)

Devil May Care Cover

New Bond novel comes out today! What could be better? Daniel Craig on the big screen! That’s what!

Webby Awards

The 2008 Webby Award winners have just been announced and the picks are AMAZING! The long lists of select sites and contending nominees will truly blow your mind! Check out my personal favourite (in the “Art” category, of course) by the Museum of Modern Art, New York, on a Richard Serra, forty-year, sculpture retrospective. Insane!

Once again, Paper has launched their annual “Beautiful People” issue, and the selection of the “chosen few” is just as varied from years before. Household names like Danny Masterson and Sia have made the list, but so too has Riley Keogh and a personal favourite of mine, Vincent (Mad Men!) Kartheiser.

Paper’s peeps usually include club kids, actors, musicians, DJs, artists, curators, producers, night-life promoters, and socialites finding cause; emboldened in the mag to be not only current, but relevant too.

Every year (2006, 2007), the people who fit the beautiful bill is a surprise to me, but also a great place of discovery too.

The issue is just another instance where the chosen reflects the chooser and the impact that has on Paper’s New-York-centric-but-globe-trotter-admiring point of view.
