Behold!
My friend Anh just sent me this link. It made me laugh and then made me throw up, just a little, in my mouth.
Also, I have a headache. This may or may not be related to America’s birthday festivities last night. It may or may not be related to wine. It may or may not be related to the wine I had after the wine. Without further scientific study, I cannot be sure. I am reaching out to the science and medical communities to help me determine the cause of my headache, sleepiness, slight nausea, and the cashmere sweater that my tongue is currently wearing. I suppose I should reach out to the fashion industry too, for that last part. It’s really too hot for cashmere.
Speaking of the fashion industry, the new Phillip Lim 3.1 store in L.A. opened and it was designed by my good pal Dominic Leong over at Para. Check it out here. It’s as crazy as Dominic is. I want to go and squish all the acoustic foam. Like if you are stressed and live in Los Angeles, go over to the Phillip Lim store and squeeze the crap out of the walls. I think one of the rooms has walls covered with cow hair, so pet the crap out of that too. These cows may or may not be related to the meat hats above. Dominic worked his ass off so I’m proud of him. It’s his first built project. Kudos Dominic, now go and get me some sweet, sweet Phillip Lim threads. Also, I have your mail. If you give me sweet, sweet Phillip Lim threads I will give you your credit card bill which I know you want really badly. Also it looks like you might have already won 2 million dollars, that is exciting.

I am in awe of people who think of these things - and then do them - and then take pictures and post them on teh internets.
Padded walls… not usually a good thing… but in this case maybe a good thing.
Ms. Biz: Hahaha and also ewwwww. Ugh. Yeah looking at the site does not make me want to make my own porkpie hat. I think my office should have padded walls.
annie: There are many things that science can’t explain, but why your Mellon is Swell-on today sadly is not one of them.
Dude, what has Anh been up to? His blog went away awhile ago.
eeww to the pork martini.
that architecture is so totally cool. first built project - that’s amazing. i think my first built project was a toilet…actually, it wasn’t that - come to think about it, it was a retro-fit of a heritage listed supreme court.
The LIM’s store opening got some nicePBUZZ here with my bro’s in LA Architecture circles. Unfortunately this demographic is too with hung up with a mock black turtleneck look to shop there themselves. But Nice to see a SoCal boy kick some eponymous fashionASS.
Jon: Yeah it’s a cool “wacky” store. It’s very…texturey. I am positive that is a word.
Ramon: Anh is the BIGGEST perpetrator when it comes to starting things and then not finishing. He has like 15 blogs all with like 5 posts in them and then he moves on. I love that guy but he has issues with blogging.
Fly: That’s cool!!! Shit I’d be happy with building a toilet that went into a heritage listed bldg. One of my friends in London works in building preservation for the city and is basically a building cop where she is like OMG WHAT ARE YOU DOING????? And forces rich people to stop their plants of adding like a steel and concrete biodome to their 14th century homes it’s hilarious.
yeah, i was kinda forced into heritage architecture coz in Australia, EVERY building was heritage listed!
Ramon and Annie: I got a little disgusted with the L.A. bike scene and decided to give it a rest for a while. Maybe I’ll start a new blog soon called “whylosangelescycliststhinktheycanridewhiledrunkandrunredlightsundertheguiseofenvironmentalfriendlinessandleftleaningpolitics.com”
also, i have more than 5 posts here.
Anh: that url is totally taken.
Hey Anh, does that mean you drive an SUV now?
