Wonder how your smooth recently waxed private looks like with some ink?

Vatooing is an airbrush tattoo applied on to your after bikini wax. “Get “inked” with your beau’s initials, or go for a flirty design—the tattoo you choose is up to you. Get a flower, butterfly, sun, or letters inked in your favorite color. A trained technician applies an exclusive stencil and airbrushes the ink directly onto the area, giving you a coy secret to hide—or reveal—as you choose.”

The ink is said to last from five to seven days most.  Check out the video for more Vatooing!!! Well at least it doesn’t hurt.

I know you stuck them under tables and would have at least experienced it stuck under your shoe.

Located in Post Alley, under Pike Place Market, this is the infamous Gum Wall. This entire wall has millions of gum and unknown salivas of previous gum owners stuck on its walls since the early 1990s. How it happened was people had to wait in line to get movie tickets and it was probably out of boredom or pure irritation of having to wait, resulted in one crazy ass colourful master piece. Hopefully someone does not push you to the wall and get stuck

Launched early this year, jeans brand Diesel launched the “Be Stupid” campaign “that encourages consumers to take risks and move beyond the smart and sensible track for life.” ”The campaign, developed at Anomaly London, includes online, press and outdoor advertisements featuring “stupid” acts, a digital recruitment campaign for the Diesel music video/2010 catalogue, and viral activity outlining the company’s Stupid philosophy.” Honestly I kinda like the whole idea of it. What you think?  Watch the video to find out more about Diesel’s Stupid Philosophy

How many great artists do you remember?  How many of them famous artwork do you remember?  What if their work turned into food display on a plate, as art?  If you  have no idea what we are talking about, do check out the work of Erwin Bauer of Bauer Concept and Design for Vienna’s Mumok Museum of Modern Art restaurant and hotels.  These really creative conceptual place mats are the work of Erwin Bauer to reprise the work of the greatest artists by using food.  See if you can identify each work…

In no time, the ground floor of the High Street section in One Utama will be transformed into a paper wonderland as Antalis Paper Fantasy unfolds. This exhibition, organized by Antalis Malaysia, aims to showcase the endless possibilities of creative paper usage by fusing design, architecture, art and fashion into a visual and tactile experience.

Antalis Malaysia is the subsidiary of Antalis Group, the number one ranked paper distributor in Europe. Some of the most recognizable paper brands distributed by Antalis are the Conqueror, Curious, Rives and Cocoon papers.

The theme of the de-greening of the environment provides the backdrop for the exhibition, thus, the exhibition will be set up in a fantasy, almost harsh, white environment to illustrate how we might actually lose our warm, green world if we handle our natural resources carelessly.

The exhibition will be built to showcase large-scale paper architecture, sculptures and models. The very structure and walls themselves are made from paper – crumpled, folded or rolled to bring out the best textures and shapes. At the heart of the exhibition is 4ft tall paper unicorn, flanked by a landscape of 15 paper trees contributed by various local designers and design schools. Other exhibited components include paper lampshades, origami and printed samples.

Local fashion designer Micky Tan (MT Fashion Studio) has been roped in to create a series of paper fashion for this event, with scheduled fashion shows running on both 17 and 18 July.

This exhibition is under the creative direction of Figtree Design. They are working in collaboration with paul+pris, an interior design duo who are designing the exhibition space, the interior and its products.

Antalis Paper Fantasy exhibition will run from 16 -18 July 2010 at The High Street, Ground Floor, One Utama.

To continue the Star Wars phenomenon after the great Star Wars Lego, The Star Wars series by Cedric Delsaux and the adidas Star Wars collaborations; here is the work of a Hong Kong based illustrator John Woo.  By using Star Wars characters as his inspiration and models, the characters are wearing Band of Outsiders, Thom Browne, Comme des Garcons and Martin Margiela.  It will make a nice editorial or lookbook, any takers?

Fascinated by Warhol, John Wilcock, co-founder of Village Voice and Interview started interviewing some of  Andy Warhol’s closest associates, supporters and superstars creating an oral biography of the late pop art icon.  The book is what’s said to be a collection of prismatic portraits of one of modern art’s least knowable artists during the early years of Warhol’s fame.

“The Autobiography and Sex Life is the first oral biography of the artist and likely the most revealing portrait of Warhol, being composite instead of singular; each of its interviewees offers a piece of the puzzle that was Andy Warhol.”
