Tanner Krolle Blake Messenger Bag.
2007-10-18 04:32:00
Source: Tanner KrolleThere's just one annoying detail that I find unpardonable - the studs. Everything else, from the buckle hardware to the indentations of the flap, is perfect. Very few bags can incorporate studs properly in an aesthetically acceptable manner. This, to me anyways, clearly does not fit the bill.Blake messenger bag available at Tanner Krolle for £795.Designer man bags and fashion accessories

Prada Black Suitcase Luggage.
2007-10-18 03:59:00
Source: eBay [Seller ID: vogueitalia]Everyone needs at least one black leather luggage piece. This particular one is made from pigskin, and I always like to mention that pigskin is quite durable and will require less coddling. If you don't already know by now, I love symmetry afforded by belted buckles, and the classic style fused with ease of use and functionality makes this Prada luggage a 10 in my book.Prada black suitcase luggage available at eBay.

Bottega Veneta Match Bag.
2007-10-17 00:36:00
Source: My PrestigiumA reader has alerted me to this website (My Prestigium: The Guide to Luxury Shopping) [I don't speak French, but I gather that's what it roughly translates to.]Ignoring my paranoia of things falling out of unzippered bags, this bag is fabulous. You just know the leather will get more slouchy with time and use, which is why I'm personally drawn to it. The general bucket shape is nothing to write home about, but the leather is what always sets BV apart. That and the stratospheric price.Designer man bags and fashion accessories

Alexander McQueen Cashmere Scarf.
2007-10-15 05:21:00
Source: YooxI don't know what part of the world you live in, but where I am, the weather suddenly turned cold. I can't walk around in t-shirts anymore, and pretty soon, I'll have to ditch the flip-flops as well. I also lost a few scarves when I moved from New York to here. And by "lost", I mean "threw away", because moving is annoying, and I didn't feel like untaping the boxes after I realized I forgot to pack some things.On another note, my friend from Columbia Law (21 years old) just found out her boyfriend (or whatever he is) is really 43 and not 33. I told her to end it immediately, but she's attached to him and his 9 inch penis. Alexander McQueen scarf available at Yoox for $155.Designer man bags and fashion accessories

Prada Cacao Deerskin Wallet.

Don't get me wrong - I think it's a great functional wallet with a matching gold-toned money clip, but it's no dazzling beauty like this red Dior Homme wallet.Prada cacao deerskin wallet available at Neiman Marcus for $230.Designer man bags and fashion accessories

$600,000 To Hide Swastika Shaped Buildings.

Click here to watch the CNN video clip.The architect who designed the buildings claims that it's not really a swastika - just four L-shaped buildings. That's like saying abortion is just a near-life experience. The government plans to spend $600,000 to fix/hide the swastika-shaped edifices. I say it's money well spent. In the end, they show the aerial view of the Washington Monument and note that it's phallic. I like phallic things.Designer man bags and fashion accessories

Dolce and Gabbana Chain Belt.
2007-09-28 03:11:00
Source: Bergdorf GoodmanBeing stuck in the lab everyday can get tedious sometimes. I do have down time occasionally, but I can't be browsing fashion-related blogs and websites, lest they think I'm more interested in Hermès, Valentino, and Issey Miyake than herpes viral infection.Sometimes I just want to dress funky and odd to alleviate the tedium. Think metallic silver Dior Homme shoes, Dsquared2 jean shorts (shut up), Martin Margiela t-shirt with some unintelligible phrase on it, this Dolce & Gabbana belt, and red Goyard briefcase. OK, on second thought, scratch that. But you get the point.Luckily, I don't have to wear the dreaded white lab coat most of the time. I hope Miuccia Prada can come up with a fashionable solution at some point in the future. I'm thinking patent leather coat from last season but with a chemically-resistant transparent technofabric.

"Fox host O'Reilly says restaurant comments not racist".
2007-09-27 04:20:00
Click here for CNN article.O'Reilly said he took civil rights leader Al Sharpton to the Lenox Avenue fixture and "couldn't get over the fact that there was no difference between Sylvia's Restaurant and any other restaurant in New York City.""I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship," he told listeners...."It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense that people were sitting there and they were ordering and just having fun," he continued.[Emphasis added]If I understand correctly, he was expecting a restaurant full of watermelon-ingesting rambunctious colored folks. I don't know if that's racist, but that's definitely prejudice.Edit: [So here's a delightful comment.]It's nice to see you can decieve (sic) your readers by printing a couple bits of sentences made in a 35 minute radio show program. Why not let your readers decide by going to his website and listening to the show? It's crappy...

After ingesting copious amounts of mimosa, I bought a bag. Except I didn't know what until I miraculously found my way home. It's a LV Damier messenger bag. The problem is I have absolutely no need for this bag. My black Prada nylon messenger is bigger and has more zippered pockets; consequently it's more practical.Eh, I'll find a use for it.On a different note, there's this hot guy who's in my department, and he kind of looks like Colin Farrell. I hope he gives a talk on whatever research project he's working on so I can pretend to be interested. I hope it's not computational bioinformatics. Eww. I can't fake being interested in that shit. I decided not to get the Gucci belt bag after multiple people dissuaded me.Designer man bags and fashion accessories

Graphic Image Croc-Embossed Business Case.

Source: VivreI think $40 is a bargain for the thrifty consumer who wants an elegant-looking card case. It does look like real crocodile skin unless you inspect it up close. I like Graphic Image . They have wallets that are exactly the same as Prada saffiano wallets, except missing the little Prada logo, and they cost about 1/4 the price. There's always a pile of them on sale as Saks, and if I didn't already fork over the inflated price for a Prada, I would have picked one up.Available at Vivre for $40.Designer man bags and fashion accessories

Gucci Leather Belt Bag.
2007-09-22 16:03:00
Source: Saks I considered getting this. Before I get netslapped, here's the reason why.When I work in the lab, I have to write everything down on a little notepad, lest I forget and screw up my experiment. (I think I might be borderline ADD.) Unfortunately, I don't have a convenient place to put that little notepad because the tissue culture room is very crowded, and I have to assume that most of the surface areas are contaminated by the virus I work with. This belt bag is the perfect size for my little handy notepad, black and blue pens, yellow and pink highlighters, and Blackberry (It vibrates whenever anyone leaves a comment, and it gets me excited).Then I realized I'm looking for justifications to buy a bag I'll probably never use after ridicule from my labmates.Gucci belt bag available at Saks for $530.Designer man bags and fashion accessories

Heinous.

This is why I will never venture south of Maryland."I believe that we've confirmed at least one minor" and one adult were arrested, Mayor Jacques Roy said.Hate is hard to dispel. Once you're soaked in it from childhood, it fuses into your bones and becomes part of you, which is why it's especially saddening that a youth was involved in this. It's not about free expression or freedom of speech. It's about making a deliberate threat to kill someone based on the color of their skin.America is the most prosperous country in the world (so far), but we still have not managed to disentangle ourselves from the past. I'm not a real fan of "diversity training" or "multicultural classes", but the very fact that they exist signifies that there are enough people out there who are cognizant of the greater social consequences of the vicious hate that still lingers. Perhaps in a few generations, racism will be a thing of the past like polio.(The CNN reporter's name is Casanova.)Designer ...
