MARC JACOBS <3 SPONGEBOB

We common folks actually have something we can share with the designer...our favorite friend, Spongebob!
Marc Jacobs loves SpongeBob SquarePants. “I just think the colors of that particular cartoon are really beautiful and really sophisticated and interesting,” Jacobs said last night at the party for the screening of Marc Jacobs and Louis Vuitton, the documentary about the designer during his geekier brunette days which will run on the Sundance Channel next week. “I have a tattoo of him on my arm,” he added.

On a side note (speaking of sample sales), I swooped by the 10.deep sample sale on Martel x Melrose today, but unfortunately, there was no gear for the ladies, and the guys stuff was XXXXXXL. Boo...

LIMITED LIMITED EDITION - LIMITED TIME ONLY!

How much more limited can the world get?
LAMJC (co-produced with Colette), who has released their ALL GONE book that displays the hottest limited products and artwork of 2007, has decided to release a limited edition of the already limited edition book (for a limited time only).
All they've done is swap the color way of the cover of the book from purple to silver - which definitely is shinier, and thus more limited edition.
The original version was limited to 1500 copies, and this limited limited edition is kept down to 500 copies available.
See if you can get on the limited edition game by checking out Sold Out before it gets sold out.(How many times did I say limited?)

PAU CHIKA PAU PAU

Everyone and their mother was talking about this recent gain in talent for the Lakers today:

The Lakers have acquired forward-center Pau Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies for center Kwame Brown and guard Javaris Crittenton
Gasol, 27, is averaging 18.9 points and 8.8 rebounds this season for the Grizzlies. He has expressed discontent in the past year with the Grizzlies (13-33) who have not been in playoffs since 2006 and have never won a playoff game since he was drafted in 2001.

He was the NBA's rookie of the year in 2001-02 and made the All-Star team in 2006.

Gasol has three more years and an estimated $49 million on his contract. Brown's $9.1-million contract expires after this season and Crittenton is a rookie.

Gasol would fill in at center until Andrew Bynum returns from a knee injury sometime in March. Gasol could then slide over to power forward when Bynum returns..
This means:
OUT:
IN: I'm no die-hard Laker freaker, but I got love for LA. Go Pau go.

We're All Just A Bunch of Beautiful Losers

Aaron Rose began curating the Beautiful Losers exhibit ten years ago, stemming from the subcultures of skateboarding, punk, surfing, hip hop, and graffiti.
Now he's made a movie depicting the cultural movement of our generation, through all the elements, artists, and people behind the Beautiful Losers campaign.
Here is just a sneak peek behind the movie that is set to be released in Spring this year. Ya dig???

I SCREAM FOR SOME CREAM.

Cutest new line in the market? Freshest smelling, that's for sure!
Cream is a women's line catering to "girls who love to dream about their future and freely express their own styles".
Three Japanese models-turned-designers from NYC launched this line last year, and what's most unique about their feminine tees is that they are scratch n' sniffable!
Memories are the essence for their brand, and their scented tees allow us to recollect our fondest moments of the past.
So far, their line consists of 3 batches of tees they have launched with scents of Gardenia, Fresh Air, Vanilla, Sunflower, and Bubble Gum:
They've also recently just launched a Valentine's Day line featuring smells of Raspberry, now sold at Karmaloop:Peep the ladies at Cream. And get ready to taste the sweet stuff.

A-TRAK DIDN'T ASK ME TO RAP ON THIS....

Now, you can learn and jam and look at mammals all at the same time! What's that, you ask?
The Natural History Museum is featuring Kid Sister and DJ A-Trak this week for their First Fridays series!!!
They'll be heatin' it up at the North American Mammal Hall (Haha!) starting at 7 pm, and if you go earlier, you can partake in a tour in the Discovery Center and engage in a discussion on "The Elephant's Secret Sense".
SOUNDS LIKE A PARTY, RIGHT?
Tickets are only $9 for adults and $6.50 for students with ID.
Get there early, it's in downtown LA AND it's a Friday.
LIPPEDJEANIUS WILL SEE YOU THERE!!!

P.S. Not to mention, the last time DJ A-Trak and Kid Sister performed together in NYC, Kanye West made a surprise appearance. Not saying anything like that would happen this time around, but sure would be SWEET!
