Tuesday, 19 February 2008

The World’s Coolest Houses Our first book, the World’s Coolest Hotel Rooms, will come out June 1. Published by Harper Collins Publishers (US) and designed by the Sydney based War Design, the inaugural Cool Hunter book will soon be followed by the next volume, the World’s Coolest Houses. To make that happen, we are on a furious hunt for supremely cool projects from beach homes, country homes and city pads to holiday houses and ski retreats, we want to know where the coolest houses are. We are looking for the most unique houses from Sao Paulo to Sydney. Slightly cool, standard-issue luxury won’t do it. The houses we want must think like Zaha Hadid who said “I like architecture to have some raw, vital, earthy quality.” So, if you are an architect of such a house, please submit your project for consideration or if you’re a photographer who has photographed such a house, please get in contact – This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it <!– document.write( ‘</’ ); document.write( ’span>’ ); //–> Share it - Delicious Technorati Digg Stumble Tags: Books,

GOOD ADVISE FOR YOUNG TRENDY PEOPLE Monday, 11 July 2005 A countercultural self-help book compiled by a veteran of the underground who has spent 30 years in the alternative art trenches, these experiential, very real commentaries from today’s underground luminaries offer honest and humorous advice on everything from “Door Etiquette for the Nightlife-Challenged” by Clint Catalyst to “How to be an Art Star” by downtown NYC scenester Reverend Jen. Without a hint of irony, Good Advice for Young Trendy People of All Ages shows would-be bohemians how things really are (”How to Live in Debt” by Mykel Board), instead of selling far-fetched dreams of writing the great novel or producing the top gallery show. The book includes chapters on how to work a room, how to raise kids, drugs (doing `em and not doing `em), how to survive in prison and buying, using and packing a strap-on. Contributors include Jennifer Blowdryer, Clint Catalyst, Bucky Sinister, Lynn Breedlove and many other talented peeps. via Amazon thanks James AESTHETIC SURGERY Friday, 14 October 2005 Do you ever find yourself wondering, “Has she had work done?” Do you flip through supermarket tabloids to see who’s the latest star to have gone under the knife? Do you secretly love before and after photos? Well, let’s face it, who doesn’t? Aesthetic surgery has become a global phenomenon. In places like Hollywood, the mystery isn’t who’s had work done, but who hasn’t. Cosmetic surgery has lost a good deal of its shock value over the years, as treatments like Botox have blurred the perceived boundaries between serious, risky medical procedures and casual trips to the doctor. But make no mistake: going under the knife remains a messy enterprise, and you’ll find plenty of supporting visual evidence for that notion in the pages of Aesthetic Surgery. From liposuction to lip implants, this highly illustrated book from hip German publisher TASCHEN, explores all the ins and outs of body sculpting via photos, illustrations, essays, and interviews. It’s a fascinating page-turner that makes you want to find out more about the curious creatures we humans are – strangely addictive.
