i got…
I nerded out and bought a print by a local artist, Darryl Graham.
He’s drawn 360 Marvel characters. Everyone is there: Xavier, Magneto, The Sentinels, Cyclops, Gambit, Wolverine, etc. It’s really cool, I can’t wait for it to arrive in my mailbox.
Darryl is very good. I fell in love with the print immediately. Click this link to see the a larger version.
I emailed Darryl directly to order the print and I asked for permission to use the smaller version of the image for this post. He called me awesomely sweet and that made me Internet blush! I’m Internet crushing on him now.
Thanks Darryl!

The collaboration seems to be doing very well. It’s expanded to include many style for men and for women. I’m a fan of these 3 styles. Yup, this shoe is pretty tame in my books. I wear my Vegas shoes a lot and they are way more obnoxious. The dude in jacflash noticed them; he was an Adidas head too. There aren’t too many of us around. I haven’t seen them here and I kinda like that.

This has nothing to do with fashion. But I think this little test thing called The Omnivore’s Hundred from Very Good Taste is neat.
Here’s a chance for a little interactivity for all the bloggers out there. Below is a list of 100 things that I think every good omnivore should have tried at least once in their life. The list includes fine food, strange food, everyday food and even some pretty bad food - but a good omnivore should really try it all. Don’t worry if you haven’t, mind you; neither have I, though I’ll be sure to work on it. Don’t worry if you don’t recognise everything in the hundred, either; Wikipedia has the answers.
Bolded items are things I’ve eaten. Crossed out items are things I would never eat. 55 out of a 100 for me. What about you?

And I’m gonna have a hell of a time fixing it considering that I don’t even run IE6 at home. Sigh.
So it gonna be painful for you IE6 folk out there. Until, I figure out what stupid bullshit IE6 is complaining about I can only offer the following suggestions:
1. Start using firefox. Its been my browser of choice for many years now. Even through the terrible high CPU usage days.
2. Upgrade to IE7
3. Read my site through RSS, or email. You can subscribe to either feature at the top of the page on the right hand side. Click the RSS icon for the feed. Enter your email address to get posted sent via email.
My apologies to you IE6 users.

Balenciaga Edition Fall Winter 2008 - 2009
This sounds very interesting and very expensive.
The Fall Winter 2008 - 2009 Balenciaga Ready-To-Wear Collection has developed a line “Balenciaga Edition”.
The design studio selected ten designs from the house archives of Cristobal Balenciaga’s Haute Couture collections dating between 1940 & 1967. Their development is focused on a meticulous research of the original fabrics and construction and replicating them with current manufacturing techniques.
Each piece will carry a special label and tag stating the original date of design to identify this collection.”

Suicide (Fallen Body)
I never really appreciated Andy Warhol until I saw Supernova: Stars, Deaths and Disasters, 1962 - 1964 exhibit at the AGO. This image was my favourite of the exhibit and is one of my favourite pieces of art. The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is my all time favourite painting. Unfortunately, the image doesn’t even come close to seeing it real life.
The original photo is an enigma. Such a beautiful photo of such a horrific event.
On May 1, 1947, Evelyn McHale leapt to her death from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Photographer Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale a few minutes after her death.
The serenity of McHale’s body amidst the crumpled wreckage it caused is astounding. Years later, Andy Warhol appropriated Wiles’ photography for a print called Suicide (Fallen Body)
You can see the original photo in the post called The most beautiful suicide on kottke.org.

Hi,
Sorry for you IE folks. The site was all messed up because I was modifying my template. IE has some HTML rendering quirks that Firefox motors through. I use Firefox primarily so I didn’t notice it till today at work. I’m working on it because it only works in IE7 right now.
It should be fixed now. Please let me know if its still messed up.
