Not just ANY new phone, but a phone that has a scent.
Sony’s DoCoMo SO703i
Oh yes, the Japanese have done it again. Have an apple pie scented conversation, guaranteed to work for three months! The aromas are released from a replaceable strip located near the central hinge. Or how about blueberry, or peach. It’s your choice, or not. I recommend not.

My coworker gave me today the cutest gift ever. A hammer, a screwdriver and a pair of pliers. Yes, I know what you’re thinking hammer and cute does not really go well in one sentence. Sorry but you’re wrong.

My parents and my youngest brother were visiting me last week and of course I had to take them to see all the great things here in Barcelona. And when you are travelling you have to use public toilets…
Me and my mom were waiting in a line the other day and the sinks were in front of the toilets. While we were waiting we noticed that only one… ONE!!! man washed his hands after they came out.

Well….I think we found the solution to this problem

Doris Salcedo has damaged the Turbine Hall in my beloved Tate Modern. The damage, called Shibboleth, is supposed to remind us about the uncomfortable truth and things we don’t want to think about.   crack

The opinions are varied. My friend’s daughter, who has experienced racism many times, said she doesn’t feel the need to stare at this crack on the floor to be aware of intolerance.

You can love it, you can hate it. It’s up to you and your personal perception of art. Nevertheless, to me, Shibboleth has fulfilled its mission as it got people talking.
Plus, to make it more real, many have already ‘experienced’ the crack by LITERALLY falling into it. That proves artist’s point - it’s good to be aware of its existance.

Birta Björnsdóttir is the creator of Júníform. She is a very artistic young
woman who is also a make-up artist.

She was the principal of the “No Name” make-up school in Iceland before she
decided to become a fashion designer. Her clothes are romantic and unique.
She has two lines, Júníform, where she makes more than one piece of each
design, and Júník, where the designs are one-offs.

Icelandic

She recently reopened her shop after giving it a major makeover. Can’t wait
to see it next time I go to Iceland. Maybe I’ll even buy a thing or two…

The main reason why I choose to pay more for having a haircut is neither the brand nor extraordinary skills of my hairdresser. It’s pure vanity.
Every single time I walk out the door of that particular salon I have a smile on my face. I don’t even care about the hair, the compliments I hear are worth all the money.

Talk about professionalism.

Am I wrong to love these shoes? They’re my favourites. They’re at least 10 years old. They were bought in Alcampo, a Spanish equivalent of Wal-Mart. They’re an intentional rip-off of Camper, they cost me about five euros, and they’ve a great bloody tear near the heel. The first day I wore them, I took them to a nightclub, and they were destroyed: beer, gunk, scratches, beer stains, you name it. I took them home, and had the bright idea that perhaps pure alcohol would clean them in a way that no household detergent or shoe cleaner would.

My Camper Wannabes

So with cotton wool in hand, and 100% alcohol in the other, I set about cleaning them. Clean them, it did - but it also left them with some major discolouration around the toe. Disgusted, I threw them in a press. They were saved about 2 years later when I realised the discolouration gave them real personality, and I’ve worn them into the ground since - they’ve been to move live gigs than the Spice Girls! And I adore them.

Like or loathe the Irishwoman, you’ll admit that she’s a unique individual. I’ve seen her perform on a number of occasions, and my response to these live performances puts me firmly in the “like” category. Sinead’s attitude on stage is meek. Meek, that is, ’til her voice soars loud and true, and her passion for her art comes to the fore. She’s Ireland’s finest export, unpredictable, beautiful, passionate, iconic.
