WHIPLASH “Francesca Lanzavecchia created an interesting project entitled Proaesthetics, which contains Orthosis, Canes & Crutches, and Back Braces.

PEN PAL “Why would Moleskine get into the pen-making business? To make a pen that matches its notebooks, of course. The Moleskine Click Roller Pen ($11) is designed to be an ideal companion for a Moleskine notebook, with a rectangular shape and rubber clip that are specifically fitted to attach to the cover of a Moleskine journal, and a retractable point that ensures you don’t accidentally write all over yourself or the inside of your bag.” - Uncrate via Amazon via Moleskine via Uncrate

MR BIG “Whatever your persuasion, two of Taschen’s upcoming releases are sure to keep you satisfied. The Little Book of Big Breasts and The Little Book of Big Penis pack a punch in just 192 palm-sized pages. The 4.7 x 6.5-inch book is discrete enough to hide behind one of Taschen’s larger tomes—like The Big Book of Pussy, if you dare.” - Perrin Drumm, Cool Hunting via Amazon via Cool Hunting via Taschen

HOLY SHIT “This Comedy-Fantasy is one of my favorites to read when I’m having a bad day, along with the Monty Python and the Holy Grail transcript! King James is a comedic genius rivaling Ricky Gervais and will surely be remembered as such for generations to come.  The plot follows the antagonistic character God, an angsty old man hungry for power, who becomes bored in his isolation and so creates a magical world where he places a naked man and a woman, but neglects to tell them the difference between right and wrong. He puts a magic forbidden apple on a tree and places a magic snake to tempt the naked people to eat the magic apple, apparently forgetting that he forgot to teach them what it means to be “wrong” about trusting the snake and eating the apple- so they eat the apple, and then the fun really begins! Follow God through the years as he overcomes obstacles such as figuring out how to kill off the human race, impregnating a married woman, and being generally disliked by the majority of the world’s population! With countless stories about incest, murder, rape, violence, and genocide OK’d by God, The Holy Bible is a laugh a minute! I just love that every hotel I visit already has The Holy Bible laid out for me, where I can easily reach it if I am feeling homesick and need a quick pick-me-up. ::SPOILER ALERT:: The character Satan fill’s the role of God’s avasary. Satan and God both enjoy killing people- in the end however, with his all-powerful and all-knowing magical powers, God racks up thousands of kills while Satan is barely able to boast a handful! The next time you find yourself a hankerin’ for a Saturday night box office comedy, consider a cheaper alternative. Stay home and read the Bible.” - Jacqueline Boss, Amazon via Amazon via Digg

ROCK N ROLL “Ten years in the making, Leslie McGuirk’s latest children’s book, If Rocks Could Sing is now available.
