Prompted by yet another rainy week and having yet another pair of white shoes ruined, I mentioned to a friend how I wished someone would invent a pair of white sneakers that would change to black when it rained outside. Well, here's an umbrella that changes color and unveils a new design in the rain. £22 here.
A "plug" for this brilliant idea.

First, I need to address the intern's previous McDonalds entry. I told them I could only pay in PBRs. Anyway, let me class up this joint again with Ned Kahn's remarkable facade to Switzerland's Technorama (an interactive science center), which is "composed of thousands of aluminum panels that move in the air currents and reveal the complex patterns of turbulence in the wind." Check out the amazing video of this in action on a windy day: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWIhkvgg6MQ&fmt=18]
This master liquor cabinet from Atelier Van Lieshout is going in the "Siberia" themed party room in my future duplex bachelor apartment in Soho. Just thought you should know.
