Pleeeeeeeease don’t let this trend come to America. Too many Sunday drivers on the LA streets already. KEEP IT MOVING, LADY! THE LIGHT’S NOT GOING TO GET ANY GREENER.
Japanese Turtle Taxis cater to people who aren’t really in a hurry and prefer a leisurely ride. Surprisingly, there are many who enjoy a service that is deliberately slow – the unique taxi has been steadily growing in popularity ever since it started in December 2013.
The service is quite popular in Japan with senior citizens, pregnant women, mothers with young children, and tourists who would like to take in more of the city while commuting. “The starts and stops are very smooth because there is no jarring movement,” said a customer with a one-year-old baby. “It is perfect for those times when I don’t want to have my sleeping child woken up.”
The taxi service was created by the Sanwa Kotsu Group – they’ve designated 10 of their 500 cabs in Yokohama as ‘turtle taxis’, and specifically trained cab drivers to accelerate and decelerate as gently as possible. They’ve also been told to manage the ‘centrifugal forces’, to avoid making sharp turns. (via Oddity Central)

Says psychologist, social researcher, and writer Hugh Mackay: “I actually attack the concept of happiness. I don’t mind people being happy – but the idea that everything we do is part of the pursuit of happiness seems to me a really dangerous idea and has led to a contemporary disease in Western society, which is fear of sadness. It’s a really odd thing that we’re now seeing people saying ‘write down three things that made you happy today before you go to sleep,’ and ‘cheer up’ and ‘happiness is our birthright’ and so on. We’re kind of teaching our kids that happiness is the default position – it’s rubbish. Wholeness is what we ought to be striving for and part of that is sadness, disappointment, frustration, failure; all of those things which make us who we are. Happiness and victory and fulfillment are nice little things that also happen to us, but they don’t teach us much. Everyone says we grow through pain and then as soon as they experience pain they say ‘Quick! Move on! Cheer up!’ I’d like just for a year to have a moratorium on the word ‘happiness’ and to replace it with the word ‘wholeness.’ Ask yourself ‘is this contributing to my wholeness?’ and if you’re having a bad day, it is.” (via historicenlightenment, awelltraveledwoman)

Yep, that’s right. Britney Spears is getting her own day in Las Vegas. Britney Day will be on November 5th, and you can benefit from it! Especially if your name is Britney. No..seriously.
From E!Online:
Beginning at 8 a.m., the first 100 people who can prove that they, too, are named Britney will be given two tickets to Spears’ Piece of Me concert at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, plus a ride aboard the High Roller observation wheel.
During Spears’ appearance, they will also have access to a priority viewing area for “Britneys” only.
“Britneys” can line up beginning at 6 a.m. outside the Wheel House Charter Group entrance at The LINQ. Caesars’ “Britney Day” festivities will officially kick off at the LINQ Promenade later that night at 5:30.
I was almost named Bret. I wonder it that would count?

The Madison Avenue building and the Koons exhibit has closed now, so let’s trash it. No, we’re not doing that but I’ll bet your Instagram feed at some point over the last few months might have shown you a selfie taken at “Jeff Koons: A Retrospective”. There were LOTS of shiny reflective surfaces so it was irresistible selfie bait. I did one myself, but I didn’t tag it properly –I guess, as I’m not their demo. Plenty of #KoonsSelfies were taken by youngsters because the Whitney had been passing out cards that instruct teens exactly how to share their love of the Whitney. “KOONS IS GREAT FOR SELFIES” the boldfaced message reads. “Take a selfie and post it on Instagram! Use: @whitneymuseum and #Koons #ArtSelfie”. No doubt this will continue at new Meatpacking District location which opens next spring. Check your Instagram feed, kids.

Yes, it seems by accident, mostly reviled appropriation artist Richard Prince gave an emerging conceptual artist his Gagosian debut. This is SUCH a convoluted idea, see if you can follow.
My friend Sean Fader is a conceptual artist and photographer. We met in 2009 at the casting call for Bravo’s reality series Work of Art and have remained friends since. I wrote about his project “Sup?” on The Wow Report, where he photographed 100 guys that he met on Grindr, before and after “dating them. His latest project has been #wishingpelt. The New York live event for his performance of #wishingpelt was at the PULSE Art Fair and previously at SPRING/BREAK Art Show. Over the course of nine days, Fader stood on a platform for a total of 80 hours and visitors were invited to whisper a wish in Fader’s ear, run their hands through his chest hair, and seal the wish with selfie tagged on Instagram or Twitter with #wishingpelt. I’ve also written here about Richard Prince’s current Gagosian exhibition New Portraits, where he “appropriates” other people Instagram photos, adding his own (some say misogynist) comments. It happened to feature an Instagram pic from Sean‘s #wishingpelt series. In May, one of those wish-granting selfies ended up in Prince’s Instagram feed, and is now a canvas at Gagosian. Sean told Hyperallergic;
“I’m really interested in the idea of re-appropriating my own work and taking the work out of the frame that he’s put it in, re-engineering it to continue the conversation that I was interested in from the beginning, and shifting the work back to that space. I struggled for a while to decide how I felt about it. When I went and saw it I was fuming. I would be psyched to be appropriated into work that was good. I just think the work is flat. It flattened the work in a way that I was not thrilled about its denial. By not communicating with me, by not talking to me, he denied every level of shared authorship, or engagement, all of those things that were so important to me in the work. That’s what irked me about the whole thing. So Prince made his move, now I’ll make mine.”
Instead of dwelling on the way that it felt to him and taking legal action, Fader staged an appropriation himself, sending out a press release (see crop of it below) inviting people to view his work at Gagosian “in an exhibition organized by Richard Prince.” Smart, huh?
Richard Prince: New Portraits, including Sean Fader’s “#wishingpelt” photo, ends today at Gagosian, so if you’re on the upper east side, go over and take a selfie in front of it to make your own statement and repost on Instagram to add another more personal layer to this never-ending art story.

Brooklyn has the largest concentration of nineteenth century buildings made with the building material known as brownstone. Members of the aspiring upper middle classes of the day, sought out the dark sandstone rich with red iron oxide, creating the deep brown to red coloring. But as many as there are, they are still highly coveted. I used to own one from 1860 in the Clinton Hill section of Brooklyn (with my friend who later bought me out) and it was full of period detail having been restored from the previous owner. I’m all for respecting the detail but living in a 19th century vertical house, does not necessarily suit everyone’s needs in the 21st century.
This family in Cobble Hill worked with architect Francis D’Haene, of D’Apostrophe Design, to update their townhouse while still keeping a sense of the building’s original detail. They did away with the layout on the top two floors remaking the area for their three children. A skylight and a glass-enclosed concrete staircase was added to connect to the attic studio. As for the parlor floor, the kitchen was inserted almost as furniture, not touching any side wall, beneath the 13 foot ceilings and the original plaster moldings. D’Haene told New York Magazine;
“The kitchen always becomes the center of activity. Why not put it in the center? …it becomes a balancing act, how many interventions you do. To make it contemporary and beautiful and modern while respecting the architecture.”
To me, this strikes the perfect balance.

Well, they are both big stars named Jennifer L. with fancy new places (that we can’t afford), but that is where the similarity stops. Still, it’s fun to compare and contrast, Beverly Hills house vs New York City loft, traditional vs modern –even though these are real estate pics, they seem to reflect these Jen’s tastes, somewhat.
Jennifer Lawrence, 24, just purchased the former home of Jessica Simpson for $6.4 million, who originally listed the house for $7.9 million in May. (Real estate maven and talk-show host, Ellen Degeneres owned it before Simpson.) It’s 5,500 square feet with five bedrooms, five-and-a-half baths, a stone courtyard, koi pond and beautiful slate-edged pool. With an Oscar and a net worth of $40 million, she’s putting her Hunger Games loot to good use, it seems.
Jennifer Lopez, 45, just ended her long search for new NYC digs, deciding on this 6,500-square-foot duplex for $22 million! It stretches between two city blocks, making it one of the longest apartments in New York City, with spacious 12′ ceilings, four bedrooms, six baths, and an open plan all-white kitchen. If the party moves outside she has four HUGE terraces looking out over Madison Square Park, totaling over 3,000 square feet of premium NYC outdoor space. There’s no pool (so far) but off the master bedroom, there’s a putting green. Let’s face it, she’s starting to make Madonna look like a slacker lately. With a net worth of $300 million, (not including her new $26 million Las Vegas deal) she’s adding this to her ever-changing real estate portfolio, which includes a new $10 million dollar house in the Hamptons and another in Hidden Hills in Los Angeles.
