NYLON PICKINGS
i sometimes get lost in back posts of interesting blogs. so it’s not all wasted time, i present you the best links from the nylon blogs. - great bike parking - this is a manicure menu. perhaps better suited for the 3d nail post but still, i have to post it! - on-topic, the new opi shatter...
BUCHAREST MUSEUM NIGHT
with poor organization and an even worse website, bucharest still has its museum night. unfortunately, i can only tell you that the date will be 14th-15th of may. we (kinda) appreciate the effort and we’re hoping that the people in charge will do better next year. i can’t find the list of the participating museums....
THE REAL SUPERHEROES
colors introduces itself as a magazine about the rest of the world. on their 20th anniversary, their latest issue, no. 80, celebrates superheroes and is entirely bd-style. but, as it is colors, you won’t be reading about spiderman or such, but about real life heroes, the ones whose daring achievements bring tears to our jaded...
OBJECTIFIED
i recommend this even if you’re not specifically interested in design. it is a short, pretty interesting documentary about every day objects and their shape. if you have 75 minutes to spare, choose this!
I FOUND A DESERTED PARK
i’ve been living in this area for about 5 years and last week i came across a deserted park right across my building… the entrance is a flight of corroded stone stairs that take you down to what used to be a medium-sized park with a ring lake. the alleys are invaded by plants, the movable parts...
NO ‘POO

3D NAIL ART STILL GOING STRONG
just before leaving japan i got a haircut at toni&guy in nagoya. but this is not about my haircut, but about the mesmerizing set of nails on the girl who washed my hair: each ultra-limited shiny surface was decorated differently from the next, featuring diamante, sequins, etc, on a black varnish background. i was not amazed: it...
THEY SAY JUMP, YOU SAY HOW HIGH
i watch a sea of girls putting most of their efforts into becoming lame copies of freakish women. women who are too skinny, too tall and too long-legged to be considered the norm. not to mention the amount of effort those women put into becoming the pre-photoshop version of themselves… what percentage of that effort...
MOOD BOARD UPDATE NO. 2
matching the names on the tag list with the pictures on the wall is today’s game. enjoy!
A LAD IN NAGOYA
the japanese don’t bother with the whole new-architecture-ruins-the-old-architecture thing. actually, as they have a culture of continuous renewal, not many of the temples or traditional buildings you see are their original selves: most have been re-built many times over, not in the lest perhaps due to the frequent earthquakes. also, the country is full of...
BETTER SLEEP, BETTER LIFE
for those of you who want beauty and health, this is one of the best pieces of advice ever: sleep well! because of my day job, i found out a lot about sleep. and let me tell you, sleep-deprivation is not fun. in case you’re one of those people who has a hard time waking...
