Weight Training with Lil Cease???

That sounds hella random but this is real.
Can't knock the hustle especially when rappers don't endorse healthy lifestyles typically. I'm not about to go get on the hardbody program but the brief bit of this i did watch looks official. I mean 'official' as in like it looks like he is not doing some pull ups on a street sign, these cats are on some serious shit. Perhaps this was something he's always been into. Perhaps it was a recent change and he decided to get some money with it. Chase your dreams, I guess.

Projectors and lights is my guess?! The French firm, EasyWeb conceptualized and implemented this 3D video art display on various architectural platforms. Pretty incredible to see these things come to life. This took place in Madrid, if I'm not mistaken.

Giles Deacon, Spring/Summer '09

my OH my, the things that inspire us. The popular 1980's video game played muse to Deacon in his Spring/ Summer 2009 Collection. That was made clear when some models came gliding down the runway adorning headwear resembling Pac and the gang. If you can see it in these shots, the runway itself was also festooned with circles and dots like that of the game.

Who's Gonna Save My Soul

by GNARLS BARKLEY
This video just blew my mind!!!

The Fox is Loose

This must be a frickin' dream.
I just got some semi-excellent news.
I come from a long line of pervs and this rocked me!
OK, So apparently Megan Fox wants to star in a film where she is nude, THE WHOLE MOVIE.
Well, if this was to ever go down (doubt) i would be cashing out studio time paper to see this.
I only rap because I plan on seeing her naked one day so this falls in the same bucket (win).

You don't have to believe my gossip...Starpulse reported the story.

"Transformers beauty Megan Fox recently revealed that she would like to star in a movie entirely naked-- from beginning to end. The actress told The Daily Star, "'I would love to do a movie naked - it would be beautiful."

Her comments are sure to raise more than just an eyebrow however, because Fox said no studio would ever take the chance of making a film like that again. She elaborates: "They did it in the 1930s in an arty way."

Arty Shmarty, Nigga Please.
I admire good direction in film and I appreciate art but
I like boobs too.

Amsterdammit!

Let’s face it, not a lot of us are balling outta control. If you furnished most of your crib with a hodge podge of items from your childhood, IKEA and your parents garage then chances are you’ve been waiting for some answer to your furniture-supply woes! Enter VILLASOFA. With a fair blend of the contemporary aesthetic and the conventional furniture store pricing, Villasofa has an idea of what you were trying to do with your room after you graduated. Plus, didn’t your girl get the same couch from IKEA?!

Now…I shall warn you. The website is not as visually gratifying as their actual products but their store is the shit. It was designed by Tjep. And from the shots, the idea was to give the feeling of home but in a warehouse shopping environment. They did a pretty good job. Oh and if you intend on going over to Amsterdam some time soon, the shopping is easy there. The staff rides around on these little register-trolley-things, so they come to you.

Have a look-see.

The Cali.Co.Cool has its obligation to men in American from 18 - 35 (more like 16 - 28) to keep you abreast of what the ladies need. We here at 'ze Cool' seem to be more in touch with the chicks which gives us the sexual prowess and bedroom know-how we have come to acquire over the years. With a well-groomed mane of pubic hair and a healthy collection of Chuck Norris Films, we receive compliments from shore to shining shore about how we epitomize the All-American Sexy (for straight men, that is)! While trying to maintain the title as Gentleman Blogger No. 1, We came across MAGNIFICENT BASTARD (giving me a run for my money for best blog name ever).

The Palm Dubai

Details from Boramag:

Atlantis, The Palm is the $1.5 billion mega resort with 1,539 rooms and a huge aquarium holding more than 65,000 marine animals. The first resort on Dubai’s man-made Palm Jumeirah island opened with a massive celebration show.

The fireworks show was designed and produced by Fireworks by Grucci, the team behind the design and engineering of the fireworks at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics Games in Beijing. Custom-made shells had been shipped in from across the globe, creating a light spectacle, set off from over 716 firing locations around the island including 400 balconies at the resort. Some series of shells burst at an altitude of 245 metres, and were visible from space.

The display followed an unprecedented high definition video illumination sequence. Designed by Marie-Jeanne Gauthé creative director for Jean Michel Jarre in Paris, the visual display used the 200 metre-wide Royal Towers as a canvas to visualise the story of Atlantis, making it the most ambitious HD video projection on a standing surface.
