HUF 2011 Fall Lookbook
I love this concept for the latest HUF lookbook. Taking more of a creative approach with the help of LA-based collective taps photographer Brian Kelley for a bit of vintage-style flair, with appearances from Luke Clerkin, Caleb Weiss, Emilio Cuilan, Joey Pepper and Thane Wright. Fall 2011 is now available via Hufworldwide.com, as well as select retailers worldwide.
STOP THE WATER WHILE USING ME
Stop the Water While Using Me is a German brand of all-natural cosmetics predicated on a mutual promise. The consumer stops the water while using the products, the producers don’t use artificial ingredients, animal testing or waste energy during production. The line includes a variety of different products, including body lotion, but focuses on the places where people waste the most water, like washing hair and washing hands. Stop the Water While Using Me excludes ingredients like mineral oils, paraffin and silicone. It contains no synthetic fragrances and is packaged in minimalist, re-fillable bottles. The line doesn’t skimp on smell, though, with strong natural fragrances like rosemary grapefruit and sesame sage. It can be found at colette, or online via Stop-the-water-while-using-me.com.
Can’t wait to see the Master tonight in Hong Kong!
This will be the fourth time I’ve seen him live. If you’re reading this Scuddy. Remember the first time we saw him and went straight to work Monday morning after his gig on zero sleep? Hahaha

New Zealand All Blacks: all heroes
HBTV: New Zealand All Blacks – all heroes from HBTV on Vimeo.
“all heroes” – a creative concept developed by Auckland’s Qubic Store and adidas Originals for New Zealand’s national rugby team, the legendary ‘All Blacks.’ A 128-year-old sporting franchise and ranked number one internationally, the All Blacks enjoy a fearsome reputation amongst their competitors and hold a mystical fascination for fans worldwide through iconic symbols like the Haka and the Silver Fern.
Directed by Frank Liew of Qubic Store and Sean Wallace of Eyeball Moving Image, the “all heroes” short film features four of the most iconic contemporary All Blacks to ever take to the field and explores the aura of the team as interpreted by Auckland-based illustrator and artist Elliot F. Stewart.
“all heroes” also features a sneak preview of a limited run adidas Originals x Qubic Store x All Blacks Campus 80s shoe, the first-ever adidas Originals licensed shoe with the All Blacks due for release later this month.

Androp ‘Bell’ Interactive Music Video
Japanese band, Androp, breaks out from the mold with an interactive music video for their single ‘Bell’. Created by creative company, Party, listeners are given an opportunity to be part of the music video as they play the game.
Found at the Androp site, you are able to create an animal, which varies from a rabbit to an elephant depending on the number of words you type in, that you control to dodge oncoming obstacles.
Beautifully illustrated with simple black and white graphics, each time you knock into an obstacle, a letter of your message changes. Thus you’re challenged to make sure your message stays intact, while the band’s song plays in the background.
Have a go at it here.
