Uniqlo's Two Hands Policy
I was at Uniqlo today. Twice. When I was making a purchase the first time around, I noticed that the cashier took my credit card with two hands and gave it back to me with two hands.
When it happened again the second time with a different cashier, I asked what that was about.
Turns out, it’s a Japanese tradition - two hands and full eye contact. They are keeping that little nuance at...

RSVP
R.S.V.P. stands for a French phrase, “répondez, s’il vous plaît,” which means “please reply.”
Can’t believe I found that out just now.

Get your government designed hipster clothing
The online shop I made is getting picked up by New York press! I’m so thrilled. I decided to have Michael Pisano, the mustache model, to be included in the photo shoot at the very last minute and he ended up being the center of focus in the articles. Well deserved Michael, that ‘stache is quiet awesome.
Some of the articles are here, here and here. New York Times featured the shop,...

Watch“Ariel Schlesinger’s Untitled (Bubble Machine) (2006) gradually signals its own destruction through its repetitive and inflammatory nature. Consisting of a hand-drill mechanism placed on top of a wooden ladder, the machine periodically drops bubbles of soap onto an electrified field of coils, which in turn makes the bubble burst into a fleeting sphere of flames.”

The Best Ad in the World
is the “End of the World, Jesus is coming” crap. People talked about Jesus more than anything in the past few days. Everyone thought of religion, everyone considered it. Even if they make fun of it, everyone’s had something to say about it.
And that is advertising at it’s best. Way to go Church, you did it.

How to Live in New York City
Move here when you’re 18 or 22, maybe even 24. Come from somewhere else-the north, south, west, Xanadu- and come to realize that everyone living in New York is a transplant. Even the ones who grew up on the Upper East Side end up moving into a place downtown, which, as you’ll soon discover, is like moving to a different city. Discover the cruel and bizarre world of New York City real estate. End...

Giving back to the City
In the next couple months I’ll be creating the new official online shop for NYC merchandise in collaboration with NYCGO.
