Let me just say this is the never ending post. I tried to keep it simple but it got away from me. If I don’t simply press “publish,” I’ll never finish it, so I’m just going to do it. All photos are linked to their sources, as it will take me about 3 hours to go back and make a typed list on the bottom, and this is the type of task I procrastinate. Anyway, Hollywood Regency, I don’t quite know how to define it, but I know it when I see it… About 12 years ago I had the privilege of staying at a Hollywood Director/Vogue photographer’s Alexander house in Palm Springs (my friend’s little brother was his personal assistant at the time). It was still deep into a Shabby Chic phase of decorating, and hadn’t yet attended architecture school. I wasn’t ready for his modern Hollywood Regency style, I didn’t know what a Saarinen tulip table was, I didn’t understand all the shiny surfaces and basket chairs hanging from the trees, but I knew I liked it. This was my intro to Hollywood Regency glam. Now... See less

THERE was a time when American Leather, an upscale furniture manufacturer based in Dallas, had a few easy-to-describe product lines. Its “traditional” couches and chairs appealed to the mature consumer with an established home, according to Jennifer Green, a spokeswoman for the company, while its “contemporary” furnishings spoke to a younger and trendier buyer. For everyone else, there were the pieces in somewhat generic, enduring styles, “like what you’d see at Crate & Barrel,” she said. See less

The Flying Spaghetti Monster (also known as the Spaghedeity) is the deity of a parody religion[1][2][3] called The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster and its system of beliefs, "Pastafarianism".[1] The religion was founded in 2005 by Oregon State University physics graduate Bobby Henderson to protest the decision by the Kansas State Board of Education to require the teaching of intelligent design as an alternative to biological evolution. In an open letter sent to the education board, Henderson professes belief in a supernatural creator called the Flying Spaghetti Monster which resembles spaghetti and meatballs.[4] He furthermore calls for the "Pastafarian" theory of creation to be taught in science classrooms.[5] Due to its recent popularity and media exposure, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is used by atheists, agnostics (known by Pastafarians as "spagnostics"), and others as a modern version of Russell's teapot.[6] See less

Highlights: Main article: The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster In December 2005, Bobby Henderson received a reported USD $80,000 advance to pen The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Henderson said he plans to use the proceeds from the sale of the book to build a pirate ship, with which he...

“Let us sing praise to the Flying Spaghetti Monster, for He is a loving God. Of His might and dominion, there is no compare; of His mercy and deliciousness, there is no equal. No other god can challenge Him; in the taste test, He is invincible. Through His pasta, He has blessed us with everlasting life, and holy is His Name. For He is the Flying Spaghetti Monster: the One, True, and Most High God, creator of man and midgit, giver of pasta, giver of sauce, from age to holy age; not created He was, but ever He lives, through the glory of spaghetti, now and forever. R'Amen.” ~ Ishmali Camuwundra on the Flying Spaghetti Monster As previously noted, the Flying Spaghetti Monster is composed of two separate, and distinct parts (three if it happens to be covered in Parmesan cheese): See less

Hand Made Beauty was founded by artist / designer Diva Zappa in the hills of Los Angeles in 2002. All of the hand crafted crochet and knit designs are a fusion of Diva’s kick back feminine and chic style. Raised in Los Angeles by composer/musician father, Frank, and artist advocate mom, Gail, Diva learned to express herself creatively at an early age in all forms of the arts. Now she has ventured into fashion. Her knit and crocheted designs are one of a kind “wearable pieces of art”. All pieces are lush in color and feel. Every soft, little dress, poncho, skirt, hat and top are unique unto themselves and a glamorous interpretation of what one can do with knitting needles. Like life and her designs, Diva is constantly evolving. She lets every piece tell her what it wants to be, which often times ends up being cozy pieces pleasing to the eye and to the touch. Everyday more and more lovers of Hand Made Beauty emerge, including: Billy Bob Thornton, Kirsten Dunst, Tom Cruise, Cameron Crowe... See less

In Paper Bullets, his first novel, Kip Fulbeck taps into his Cantonese, English, Irish, and Welsh background, weaving a fictional autobiography from 27 closely linked stories. This sometimes hilarious, sometimes tragic novel explores the Hapa identity of a young man, who like the author is shaped by the conflicting desires, stigmas, and codes of male behavior in American culture. By turns sensitive and forceful, passionate and callous, Paper Bullets confronts the politics of race, sex, and Asian American masculinity head-on and without apology, all the while chronicling a contemporary man's search for love and meaning. "If you're looking for a hilarious, cocky, honest, and no-holds-barred account of lust, love and life from a unique Hapa male perspective, this is a keeper." - Alex Luu, YOLK Magazine See less

Unearthed after nearly a century... Digitally transferred from the original wax cylinder recordings and presented on CD for the first time... Reboot Stereophonic Records is proud to present the lost roots of American pop, Jewface. The world's first and only anthology of Jewish minstrel songs...the 100% kosher novelty hits that took vaudeville stages by storm at the turn of the 20th century; Jewface includes 16 ultra-rare recordings from 1903-1924, composed by legendary tunesmiths (Irving Berlin, Gus Kahn) and performed by vaudeville stars (Fanny Brice, Billy Murray). Jewface includes: "I'm a Yiddish Cowboy," "Under the Matzos Tree," "Cohen Owes Me 97 Dollars" and "My Yiddisha Mammy." Jewface revives the real old school, and reveals one of the dirty little secrets of American culture: Some of the first hit records ever made were fiendishly catchy musical lampoons, created by Jews, for Jews. Want to listen to Jody Rosen talk about Jewface? You’ve got options galore…Listen to him on The... See less

It's over, folks. A North Carolina jury has acquitted two PETA employees of Animal Cruelty and Obtaining Property By False Pretenses. Guilty verdicts were handed down for Littering, in connection with PETA employees Adria Hinkle and Andrew Cook's improper disposal of their furry victims' bodies. Hinkle and Cook were each given suspended 10-day jail sentences, 12 months' probation, 50 hours of community service, a $1,000 fine, and nearly $3,000 in restitution. And PETA's "death van" has been confiscated by the town of Ahoskie, NC. While we certainly didn't see these "Not Guilty" verdicts coming, we'll give PETA's highly paid lawyers credit for blowing enough smoke and sowing enough confusion to confuse a jury. (That's their job, after all.) But it has now been established in court that PETA, in fact, kills animals. Inevitably, more and more of PETA's naive supporters will get a clue. See less
