A Cathedral Made from 55,000 LED Lights By Ben on Wed Feb 1 2012
A glowing cathedral like structure — dubbed the Luminarie De Cagna, was display at the 2012 Light Festival in Ghent, Belgium. “Soaring above the street at 91 feet high and using 55,000 LEDs to light up the night sky. The canopies and columns are created out of wood and the lights, and despite the jaw dropping light and color, the whole shebang only uses 20 kilowatts per hour of energy.”

Nike Free Gym+
A lot of my girl mates that go to the gym will love these. The Nike Free Gym+ fits and feels like second-skin, but provides protection, additional cushioning, enhanced traction and complete natural flexibility. Ideal for the likes of yoga or training classes, the shoe features a split toe construction with extra traction on the big toe to allow stable barefoot-like gripping during even the most challenging single-leg moves and balances. It also uses instant comfort heel pads and arch support, and boasts an odor-absorbing lining derived from volcanic rock fibers. Worn barefoot, the Nike Free Gym weighs a minimal 5 oz., and is designed to provide comfort, traction, and a secure fit for maximum speed and reactivity.
HK War Games: Death Adder United Forces
Last weekend I organised for 16 of the boys from HK to do a day session of War Games in Sai Kung. For those who don’t know what War Games is – it’s like skirmish but you use high powered BB-Guns. That includes pistols, machine-guns, sniper rifles. Pretty much any real gun they use in the army you can get the replica in BB (airsoft) form. The majority of guys had never done it before so they were blown away by how real it feels being out on the different maps some more jungle style and other close quarters urban layouts. And let me tell you when you cop one of the BB pellets to the body. It bloody hurts! There were some serious war wounds by the end of the 5 hour session and a few games got personal between mates. But all in good fun. After the positive feedback from the day I’m currently organising another day out in a few weeks time. Here’s a group photo we took of the group that I retouched to look more like an old war photo.

The Sartorialist: Lunch for 25
The Sartorialist: Lunch for 25 from The Sartorialist on Vimeo.
I absolutely love this idea that Scott Schuman, otherwise known as The Sartorialist, has started as a “Lunch for 25″ series. Here’s what he had to say –
About a year ago, Scott and I were sitting at a small Trattoria in Florence. The place looked amazing– not only the simple and traditional decor, but also the irreproducible Italian atmosphere and overall elegance of the gentlemen.
“Doesn’t this place look like the best fashion story ever?” I asked Scott.
“Yes!” He said, “Real, cool, diverse– It’s like if all the best dressed guys I know got together for lunch….. We should just do that! Get my favorite guys together in one room, it would be so much fun. These guys have so much in common and yet, for most of them, their paths never cross. Just imagine, someone like Gianluca, with his dreadlocks and modern-minimalist aesthetic sitting next to Lino, with his old-school Italian charm…. Mr. Kurino and Simone Righi discussing their first suit, Kanye and Terron talking about whatever it is those two super funny characters could dream up… I’m just guessing, but I bet these guys would really hit it off. What a great way to forge new friendships.”
“Scott… You should do it!!!” the idea sounded fantastic to me.
And that’s what Scott did. I can tell you, I was so jealous not to be in Florence for The Inaugural Sartorialist Lunch. But, here are a few photographs and a video to let you share the first of what we hope will become a biannual event that grows every year through a continually increasing diversity of style and deepening camaraderie between friends.
Hope you enjoy,
Garance & Scott
*We would like to thank Simone and Guido in Florence for their helping to make this event happen, it would not have been the same without you.
