December 5, 2011

Serendipitously stumbled across this video series by men’s grooming brand The Motley last week. Billed as an “on-going conversation with men who create, explore, advocate and inspire,” the series looks at young men who are creating something new and pursuing their dreams. Love the idea of highlighting men that are out there doing it. Check it [...]

By now, I’m sure you’ve heard of Movember, the annual month long mustachioed fiasco where men all over the world grow mustaches in order to raise funds and awareness for men’s health – specifically prostate cancer. Well, my friends. This year’s about to blow it all out of the water.

While recently perusing through Isle of Man, one of my favorite stores in Chicago, I happened upon a collection of chambray skinny ties that caught my eye. Not only were these ties stylish, but the sign next to them said they benefited the DiBi Foundation. Seeing as how I tend to like products for a cause, [...]

Gendered Advertising Remixer for Kids

March 2, 2011

Did you know: children in the United States are exposed to an average of 25,000 TV commercials every year? And have you ever considered the quality of those commercials, or what they’re communicating about gender roles? Embedded in those advertisements are a stereotypical set of social values about expected gender roles for boys and girls.

I know this shelf from Finnish design firm Kayiwa isn’t in the least bit functional. But come on – you’ve got to admit that it’s pretty cool. Especially for typography nerds. But before you go thinking you’ll run out and get one, I feel obligated to let you know that one of these babies will [...]

Anyone who reads this blog with any regularity knows that I’m a Scotch drinker. I can’t help myself. Call me old fashioned, but give me a glass of single malt and a book, and I’m set for the day. Which is why I jumped at the invite I received to attend a tasting for The [...]

So half of what I found this week is dedicated to the iPhone. If you’re not an iPhone user, I apologize. Since I am one, I tend to gravitate towards iPhone related stuff. Like these iPhone gloves by Dots. Being able to use my phone without having to take off my gloves is fantastic in Chicago [...]
