After hitting all the gallery show's this weekend, head over to the LES New Museum, for the 30 hour opening sponsored by target. ...."We have now officially given out the entire number of allotted timed tickets for Target 30 Free Hours. We expect that there will be a some tickets returned and some unused, thus it may be possible for visitors to show up during the course of the marathon event and get a ticket on the spur of the moment; but there is absolutely no guarantee!"

The Streets of Europe, December 1st - December 29th, 2007, Jonathan Levine Gallery

While these are not all of the shows this month, this is what stands out. A Basel/Miami section is to come, but that is an entirely different matter. Too much good stuff.

Pieter Hugo, The Hyena & Other Men, which opens at Yossi Milo tonight

T-Magazine's new Holiday website. Check out the NYTimes "T-Magazine" flash site for the holidays. One nice feature, when you view the Natalie Portman article, is that it has the option of images only. It's a real nice interactive site so have a look.

Based on the poster it looks "good". Maybe a bit like nip/tuck meets stargate? Will the actual show be any good? Who knows, Fox's new mid-season series "Terminator, The Sarah Connors Chronicles", airs Jan 13-14. Check out the website here.

You have to love pieces of jewelry with name Hooker Medallions. Natalia Fabia, whose show Hooker Safari is now on at Corey Helford Gallery in LA, created these limited edition Hooker Medallions for daily wear and strut. Hooker is such a great word.

In these times with DVR's, commercials have to be really good for you to watch. Here is a very creative Japanese tea commercial.

Mad balls. Do you remember these? Well, they are being re-released now so little kids can have the same fun throwing these mutinous balls at each other. In the 80's we got Nintendo, Transformers, Voltron, Nerf, Garbage Pail Kids, Mask, The Goonies.....the list could go on forever.

Today I typed in randomly "Giant Trash Can" and this is what came up. If you have any recommendations, leave them in the comments and I'll search it tomorrow.

According to AmNY, Blue Owl,196 Second Ave offers the house concoctions for $5, instead of the regular $12. Plus, they have an open Vodka bar from 5-6pm. Also, if you're a speed drinker, you can snack on their high end snacks.

A food company annual report that has to be cooked first. Croatian creative agency Bruketa & Zinić have designed an annual report for food company Podravka that has to be baked in an oven before it can be read.(via dezeen), If this isn't creative I do not know what is. I hope the results were good.

This is one of those links that was forwarded to you. What I can tell from this clip, there is a web site, wWw. 2 girls 1 cup dot Com, that has a video of a 2 girls taking a deuce in a cup, then I guess they start drinking it. I am not recommending watching it, (I did not) but, I do recommend watching the chain of video reactions that has been generated from the site, on YouTube.

I don't know what it is....maybe the combination of the calm music and the reaction to knowing that what they are looking at it is truly vile, but you never see it. It's genius!

Wednesday's muse, Sofie Roelens.

Keep it moving.

According to their about statement, zine-culture is"fairly unexplored in Denmark.", making this shop and galley quite unique.

I cannot wait to see this movie and it is not only because I am slightly addicted to this song. Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Perfectly timed for a Christmas Tree weekend.

Arena magazine used to be something you looked forward to getting, some fashion, interesting stories, cool gadgets, and barley dressed women, majority of the time naked, photo essays.
Now with its new layout and formating, Details, I mean Arena, sucks. Everyone is dressed, (women that is) and from the cover with Beckham looking like a Chelsea boy, to the last ad of the mag featuring a mans crotch. Arena, has jumped the pink shark.

At least there are still have dressed women on the website....maybe they are redesigning it as we speak. Don't get the wrong idea if you want nudity get playboy, I know I know, but I prefer the balance the magazine offered before that all. A straight mans fashion magazine.
