U-GO GIRL

I'm with this hot Korean chick, drinking straight up liquor. I told her I'm Filipino, straight up hustler. Now, is it just me or do them Uggs have girls' feet looking like sheepskin rugs? Some rhyme with a name or some rhyme nameless... don't try to look at me like I aint famous. My apologies, are you into astrology? 'Cause... um... I'm trying to make it to Uranus. See, that's a little Don Juan game... all across your chest like Sean John name. Brothas tryin' to figure out since Jojo came; who the rookie of the year... me or Lebron James? They say "whoa" don't get caught in the hype... aint no telling if they gonna love you after tonight. Well, if tonight's the night, pop bottles, bone models, spend money til you're broke, my brotha live your life...aha!

DREAM PAD


A few months ago, I visited the Skyscraper Museum in New York, and I saw an incredible aerial photo that shows the evolution of downtown Manhattan during the last century, from the water reclamation to the black towers to the new skyline without the twin towers. Undoubtedly, this city changes its shape very often. And as of now, new residential buildings are bringing new forms to this skyline. The 56 Leonard Street building by Herzog & de Meuron, which entered the construction phase is one of those new residential buildings. This 57-story residential in the Tribeca area will house 145 residences, each one with its own unique floor plan and private outdoor space. This typology makes the building look like a stack of houses, away from the traditional skyscraper form. I wonder how the concrete structure works on this building, which was done by consultant firm WSP Cantor Seinuk (who also worked on the Freedom Tower).

GOLDEN SIREN

There's something about Kate Moss that makes people want to create art based on her. Pete Doherty has shown the world his creepy paintings of her, and now Kate is being turned into gold for a museum exhibit. Artist Marc Quinn has sculpted a gold statue of Kate for the British Museum worth $2.8 million. It's considered the largest gold statue built since the time of ancient Egypt, at 110 pounds. Hey wait! That's probably more than she weighs in real life. Quinn says he chose Moss because she was the closest model to human perfection he could find. Please... I'm gagging over here. He could've used Monica Bellucci as his inspiration.

DEAR APPLE...

Apple has an ordering and paying patent for it's iPhones. How cool would this be for all you Starbucks addicts? Having the ability to order drinks while you're at the back of the line... I swear, we are becoming more impatient by the second. Shoot. I think this is genius. It would totally get a lot of action on my iPhone. I would actually pay for this application. When is it available? I have no idea, but I want it now.
