Seattle Mariners Coach John McLaren FLIPS OUT!

This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while. I first saw it on the news last night and then went on a mission to find it on YouTube. Seattle Mariners Coach John McLaren is apparently a little frustrated with losing right now and so goes on a bit of a tirade. Some people might think he's going crazy... I just think he's being honest. Either way, it's pretty entertaining:

Now THESE are Stunna' Shades!- Margiela's “L’Incognito” Sunglasses

Next time you have to wear your sunglasses at night, make sure to pickup a pair of Maison Martin Margiela's first foray into eyewear- the "L'incognito's."

Margiela, the designer from Belgium, has never been one for the limelight, and while the name "L'incognito" reflects this, the actual glasses definitely don't. You'll stick out like a retro robot from some vintage Sci-Fi show when you rock these. Not that that's a bad thing...


** Put these on before listening to FoundTrack's June '08 MixTape, because the "Future's so Bright."

Ridiculousy Cool looking Louboutin shoes for the Ladies

Look, like I mentioned last week, I don't know the first thing about shoes for chicks. That said, from a design standpoint, these things are totally rad. Don't even know what particular models these are, but they're from high end designer Christian Louboutin. According to Louboutin's Wikipedia entry, Angelina Jolie and Madonna are big fans, and they seem to know what's going on when it comes to Fashion. If anyone knows what models these are, go ahead and drop a comment. Somewhere out there my future wife is walking around wearing these... or more likely, is going to make me buy them for her.

Diesel's Spring/Summer '08 Show- "Underwater Magic"

Diesel really raised the bar with it's Spring/Summer 2008 Fashion Show at the Pitti Immagine Uomo fair in Florence. While models traversed the runway, 3d holograms were projected on the stage and made it look like an awesome underwater setting.

The CGI holograms were totally viewable from all angles- wish I was in attendance! This looked like a wicked time. See below for a video from the show.

The funniest moment from the show was definitely this "viral video" featuring Robert Downey Jr, Jack Black and Ben Stiller promoting "Tropic Thunder." Let's just say Iron Man kicks Kung Fu Panda in the family jewels and hilarity ensues...
