Oscar night is here and over the next few days we’re going to be inundated with photographs of the most recognizable faces. So how about a few that perhaps we don’t recognize… 1. Charlie Chaplin Honorary award for Circus in 1928, Honorary lifetime achievement award in 1972 and Best original Score for Limelight in 1973. [...]
Our first letter comes from Frank in 1976, addresed to the Chicago Daily News writer, Mike Royko, who had just published an article questioning the special treatment Frank had received from the Chicago police while in town for a concert. Here is how Sinatra felt about the piece and its writer… 1. “Quite frankly, I [...]
Calling all Clueless fans! I have absolutely no shame is admitting that I count this 90s time capsule of teen flick mastery as one of my favorite films. And to bring back some memories, clothing brand Wildfox has gone and done some pretty genius marketing by modeling their AW 2013 collection We’re Kids in America [...]
There’s so much wonderful artwork on the web, shared on various blogs, in memes and on social networks, but the trouble is, it’s always on a computer screen. Until now. Society6 is a new kind of online shop that’s taking that supercool graphic you saw on an art Tumblr once, the quirky illustration you’ve been [...]
Yep, it’s that time again for me to open up my bag of treasures from the depths of the internet… 1. Hole n’ the Rock Roadside America is full of fascinatingly bizarre attractions, and Hole n’ the Rock is no exception. Carved out of 50,000 cubic feet of excavated sandstone in Utah’s Canyonlands country, Hole n’ the Rock [...]
What the heck is The No Pants Subway Ride you ask? I Well it’s a not so prestigious (at least not yet) annual event that was started by a group of people called Improv Everywhere on the New York City subway. What started as a small prank by a couple of guys has turned into [...]
With Justin Bieber currently embroiled in his first drug scandal (don’t ask me how I know that), I thought this would be a good moment to go back in time and revisit Mr. Paul McCartney publicly admitting to using LSD, the first British pop star ever to do so. In his interview with ITV in [...]
It was voted one of the 50 worst cars of all time and deemed ‘unworkable’– but I think it looks pretty rad if you ask me, as long as you don’t actually try to drive it or anything. It resembles a torpedo but its fastest documented speed was only 90 miles per hour (although the [...]
Detroit’s horrible, beautiful decline has been so well documented by urban explorers that to the outside world, it might seem it’s the only thing to know about this once great industrial metropolis. And yet undeniably, it’s vast urban abandonment is intensely interesting. My latest guilty fascination is the Detroit’s renaissance revival theatre that has [...]
If you try to go during the day, you’ll find the “museum” will be closed. In fact, during the day, the Rue Cavalotti in Montmartre is much like any other Parisian street in the quartier, going about it’s business with independent boutiques and small restaurants. It’s not until dusk that this narrow road hidden behind [...]
