Strong Enough to Mock Yourselves?
Unhappy Hipsters... Being a huge fan of modern architecture and design, but not a fan of stark minimalism; it can be fun to poke fun at my daily obsession. Take the blog Unhappy Hipsters. It takes the beautiful, if not contrived images in your favorite design mags and turns them on their head. What?!?!?
If you are the type who just doesn't get modern architecture, or just think it can get way too manufactured, you have to check this out. Enter the Unhappy Hipsters...
...I'm no hipster...

Sign of the Coming Apocalypse
Apparently a Sheik in Dubai has offered Victoria Beckham, otherwise known as "Posh Spice" approx 40 million US to design a hotel for him. What irks me about this you ask? Well, for one that they didn't call us, naturally. But seriously, don't you find it bothersome that so many great and talented designers would lose out on a fantastic project like this to someone who's only design experience is working with other designers to furnish their homes. Designers who, in all likelihood, are predisposed to agreeing with everything Mrs. Beckham says in fear of "miffing" her and being replaced with yet another yes-designer. Ok, my rant for the day... all done. Thanks for reading.

Bringing Back the Dragon | Hakkasan - Miami, FL
Red, Gold and Campy? I don't think so...The French firm of Gilles & Boissier bring back the Dragon with their take on the Chinese restaurant experience. You'll love the dark wood and blue hues. They take the entire genre and turn it on its head. Not what you might expect... I guess that's the point?
