Pink Lady

Pink Lady was a famous Japanese female pop duo. They were big in the late 70s and 80s. I know of them through my mom. I always hear her talk of them and for some reason i start downloaded a few of their tracks. Its also because of Downtowns episode on Pink Lady, which made me want to research and listen to their tracks. I guess its all because of the Downtown show. If i don't know anything about Pink Lady, then i can't laugh at their jokes.

Listening to their songs now just brings that nostalgic feeling of that time. I can't feel the nostalgic memory obvious since i wasn't born at the time. But you know what i mean. When you hear the oldies, you feel the oldness of that time, even if you don't even have a recollection.

Luckily i have YouTube to bring me back to that era to show me the clips when Pink LAdy was around.

TARMAC [GRAVIS]

I have a pair of these and its been a great pair. i recall that i bought my pair at Untitled over on Clark and Diversey. I was hanging out with my friend Nikki and that shoe just so happened to be on sale for like $35. So i bought it right away. Its usually great during winter. Other shoes make my toe numb but this shoe doesn't. I guess its all because this shoe was sort of built for the winter and so the exterior part of the hoe is very strong from taking the cold air into the interior of the shoe. Plus if a shoe looks good when you are wearing shorts and pants. Thats a plus. Well a plus for me that is. I'm very particular when i buy pairs of shoes. They have to be compatible with any clothes i wear and when i wear shorts and pants.

EGGO LEGO

I saw these at target and had to get them. Why in the world would Lego collaborate with Eggo? Because they sound alike...or simply Legos just kick ass!

JUNO

I just watched this movie last weekend and it was worth it. It was very last minute. Watched the trailer in the morning then all of a sudden i just had the urge to see it that day. Looked up the schedule online and biked over to the Davis Theater over on Lincoln Square. I like the Davis Theater because its old plus its cheap. $5!

The movie was very sarcastic, very modern. Definitely something the kids today will enjoy and can learn something from watching the movie. It had that same feeling of Napoleon Dynamite, not as crazy and random, but also has that simplicity like The Squid and the Whale.

FREITAG

Ever since i've seen my design teacher use this bag i've gotten really into it. The fact thats its recycled pieces is just amazing. It makes every bags design unique and very individual-like.

ROYKSOPP "Remind Me" PV

I have a fetish for information graphics, and this is a great example of using it in a pop graphical way. What i like most about it is that its mostly on a linear angle.

The Soupbox

I've always like this logo, very simple, few colors, very bold. I hear they have good soup.
