Fashion is Dumb, But Smells Nice

I'm a sucker for a Lichtenstein homage.

Naked and Famous Jeans are made in Canada from denim sourced in Japan. According to their website ("We love rare and unique fabric!"), they mix kevlar, cashmere, silk, wool, linen, and any number of other fabrics with their denim to create their collections. As they note, "So much culture and history is poured into the fabric so that it can be appreciated by the denim purist." We'll ignore for the moment the idea that such a thing as a 'denim purist' exists.

Because now, Naked and Famous offers scratch and sniff denim. In both wintergreen and raspberry scents. While founder and chief designer Brandon Svarc says, "If you want to get rid of your body odor, you should definitely wear deodorant," those of us that go 10-12 wears between washes know the score.

Low Point

Huh, how 'bout that? We have actually used the 'bunch of fucking slackers' label before.

Consider this your NBA Opening Night comment thread.

High Finance

I don't know precisely how Marissa Mayer intends to deliver a return on the $1.1B Yahoo! is investing in Tumblr, but I think it's a pretty short path from monetizing puns to profit.

(h/t, Gheorghe: The Tumblr. Obviously.)

Drink With Me

An ode to the ingenuity of man. One of these was particularly enjoyable.
