PENTAGRAM ARCHITECTS RADIO CITY-INSPIRED HOME THEATRE

2008-02-26T15:54:00.000-08:00

The theater has a series of round arches, which house 600 five-watt dimmer-controlled light bulbs that provide a light for when you need to find the remote control. And as in the Music Hall, the lights are positioned to glow away from the viewers. Pentagram has designed the theater to function like a TV room, but can also easily accommodate up to ten people. All of the surfaces in the room are covered in orange felt to help with the acoustics, and seating on the floor has been taken care of by Edelman Leather who custom made the beanbags. This house, which also boasts a large private outdoor space looking onto the Atlantic Ocean, recently won an American Architecture Award for distinguished buildings and a Citation for Design in the AIA New York State Design Awards.

I love the colour and shape and basically the whole concept. Pentagram Architects have designed this home theater.

Noel Fielding - the mighty boosh

2008-02-26T15:16:00.000-08:00

OK i think Noel Fielding is somewhat very fashionable. A comedian and maker and performer from the bbc 3 hit show Mighty Boosh (vince noir) , Noel is also a keen musician and admired by thousands of women.

Some follow him for his hair style, others for his vivid fashion sense. When asked in interviews he usually says he gets his clothes from topshop, however he accesorizes and carrys the clothes off very well.

People should also check out A shop in London called Beyond Retro is a GREAT place to go.. its all original vintage stuff, you can get some amazing (and not that expensive) stuff threre.
http://www.beyondretro.com/soho.html

The thing about Noel is sometimes he looks outrageous but comic (part of his role) but his hair is envyed by many...and he is a goth/emo/alternative idol too many. People who don't like Russel Brand much, seem to like Noel, even though people find them very similar.

Just read this thread from people trying to copy their fashion sense
http://www.russellbrandfansite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9233&sid=cf963b93aa39aaeb638702749fe68b0c
self explanitory, Noel rocks, random style, mad hair , unqiue, tottaly AWESOME

Michael Jackson

2008-02-20T15:19:00.000-08:00

Do you remember the 80's? If you were born, i presume most of you where born in mid 80's?
Well some say it was a highly important decade in the world of social revolution, with the eventual fall of Communism (Fidel Castro, has he stepped down ?)and the likes of Ronald Regan and Margaret Thatcher (one question, did the Queen really like her?Maggiieee:p) causing stirs on either side of the Atlantic.

Of course, we all know that the really important issues were the likes of getting hold of some tickets for the next Wham gig! The things that really stick in our minds are the fashion, the music and the movies! Movies like Top Gun and Flashdance were essential viewing; the hair styles were big, as were the shoulder pads, and the clothes were as loud and brash as Depeche Mode were cool!One such element of the 80's was Michael Jackson with his startling dance moves and leading fashion sense. I just wanted to know people's views on Jacko and also the 80's. I don't know how much people think he is a peadophile, i just want to know you views on the guy, becuase many use to look up to Jacko. A role model to many back in the day, but now shattered image due to stupid accusations/truth hmmmm

Fashion/Homo

2008-02-15T17:11:00.001-08:00

This question arises alot, is being fashionable mean you're gay ? :S
I've heard on numerous occasions, the word gay being used when seeing someone dressed differently or smarter.

Does that make some one gay?
Ok some people in the fashion industry maybe gay or very feminine, but too dress different and dress smartly does not make some one 'gay'

It's either jelousy, ignorant people or just plain stupidness.

Give me your uptake on this . Thanks

John Paananen - designer
pvc siding, polypropylene sheeting, engineered timber, polycarbonate supports - material

16 feet tall, 18 feet in diameter - dimensions

This reminds me of the hideouts and little tents i use to fork with my friends when i was a kid. I bought myself a tree house, but it's never going up unless i move houses, because i couldn't get permission to build it :(

I'd love to just go and chill out in my very own tree house, brings back memories of childhood and gives me time to myself.

Puma Bike

2008-02-04T15:49:00.000-08:00

Ok as well as dressing good you got to look good, in whatever car/vehicle your in. As i am an anti global warming supporter, i prefer to ride a bike rather than drive if possible. And after seeing A crazy bike in the Gym Class Heroes - Cupid's Chokehold
I was looking for a similar bik ever since, since i found this : the PUMA GLOW RIDER, the third edition of the PUMA bike.

The bike not only glows in the dark BUT also folds up so making the bike a perfect travel companion and allows commuters easy access in and out of public transport, cars or elevators. This unique element provides all the benefits of a folding bike, without compromising on style.

SOLAR ARK: World’s Most Stunning Solar Building

2008-01-23T16:12:00.000-08:00

Sanyo has built an ark for the solar century – an impressive 630 kW solar-collecting building that boasts over 5,000 solar panels and kicks off over 500,000 kWh of energy per year. Even more outstanding is the fact that most of the monocrystalline modules used on the Solar Ark were factory rejects headed to the scrap pile. Located next to Sanyo's semiconductor factory in Gifu, Japan, the Solar Ark stands as one of the best examples of building integrated PV design to date.

LED Radiator by Aeon

2008-01-23T15:48:00.000-08:00

The helix-shaped design looks more like a piece of art and is designed to be the focal point of your living room. Speira is constructed from 120 individual satin finish brushed stainless steel blades sited precisely at 90 degrees to the next and curving through 180 degrees from top to bottom over the full 2,400 mm height of the design. LED lights are housed in both the top and base of Speira to impart a subtle laser-like effect across each blade. The suave structure not just radiates warmth but will lighten-up your aesthetics, wonderfully.

BOOKSHELF BENCH

2008-01-19T14:53:00.000-08:00

This is just sooo 'IWANTTHAT!!!! kind of thing. I love ittt! not so sure ont he skelton thingy but other than that im really digging it.
The bench and bookshelf combination is a concept from Latvia's Stanislav Katz.

Price is a bit steep but it is worth it.....if the skeleton wasnt there and it was just a bench to sit on it would be even better.

What do you guys think?

How to look good when you're looking bad!

2008-01-15T10:22:00.000-08:00

Have you ever had to rush somewhere and did not have the time to dress up or look good.
Well this thread is for you. Many a times have i been rushing around and have had no time to get ready. Sometimes when my hair's a mess and in causual clothes that you wear around the house.

The answer is beanie hat! and a nice cardigan.
As they say the little things makes a big difference, just by adding a beanie hat can change you whole look, or adding a jacket.

Keep your closet clean and tidy and resourceful in the urgent times so you can bang anything on and still look good.

And invest in the essentials rather than focusing on the brands.

Another top tip is to match t'z with jeans, fast and easy and very cheap way of looking good.

Job Interviews

2008-01-13T15:20:00.001-08:00

Ok, i was emailed with a question about job interviews, even though i do not specify in that field as it's a fashion blog but if you come to think about it your appearance is important in a job interview.

"Why are you looking for another job?
When answering this question:
Keep your answer brief - don't go into a lot of detail (the briefer the response-the more convincing the answer)
Do not knock your last employer, at this stage or any other.

"What sort of job are you looking for?"
Every interviewer hopes that the next candidate to walk through that door will be the answer to his search. So many candidates sabotage their own chances by answering the above question from their own point of view rather than from that of the company's/interviewer's. The company is only interested in how you can satisfy its needs and match its job requirements, your needs are secondary importance.
The best way to answer this question is to follow on from the "Tell me about yourself" answer and transfer those abilities into discussing the job in question and the contribution you can make to it

“What is your greatest weakness?”
Look at your list of weaknesses and relate the weakness (excess) back to your strengths 'I like to get things done quickly.... sometimes I get impatient but I'm learning how to overcome this.' Don’t think you can get away with announcing proudly that you have no weaknesses, the interviewer will not be impressed. And don’t declare that you’re greatest weakness is that you like to work too hard. The interviewer has heard them all before and won’t take you seriously.

“What do you not like to do?”
A very loaded question. Under no circumstances list tasks and responsibilities that you dislike, you’ll rule yourself out of the running at record speed. A positive reply might be; ‘I'm the kind of person who does whatever is necessary to get the job done. When I do run into something disagreeable, I try to do it first and get it behind me. I have no particular dislikes’.

THESE ARE JUST BASIC QUESTIONS THEY ARE MOST LIKELY TO ASK, PREPARE BEFORE HAND AND ALWAYS SIT UPSTRAIGHT AND NOD AT THE RIGHT TIMES TO ASSURE THEM YOU ARE INTERESTED AND PAYING ATTENTION. ALSO I SUGGEST PREPARING SOME OF YOUR OWN QUESTIONS
TO ASK.

Dress to Impress, the first impression has to be a impressive one. Always opt for a shirt and tie nothing less. How you're dressed can also determine the outcome of the interview and remember not to forget your manners (handshake, hello etc)

I will be posting clothess you could wear for the interview in my next post tommorow! So keep a look out for that.

HOPE THIS HELPS! and good luck with the interview
