A Few of My Favorite Things... Thierry Lasry Sunglasses, the New iPhone and Beaded Bracelets
By Paul Johnson-Calderon
There are more photos in this gallery. View them all.
There are three things that I'm having A LOT of trouble living without right now.
I found a killer new pair of shades by Thierry Lasry that are all the rage with celeb/starlets, like Mischa Barton. Dig?
As you know, Apple announced recently that a newer, faster, and (woohoo) cheaper iPhone will be launched on July 11th. I am obsessed with the white one and the blue one!! Unfortunately, I can't have both. So I will have to flip a coin... (or do a Masai rain dance).
Speaking of the Masai, one of my other summer obsession is African beaded bracelets. I have two vintage Kenyan ones that belonged to my mother, and I practically sleep in them!

iPhone Band Goes to Number One
By David Hershkovits
The new revenue model of the music industry seems to be working for the bands if not for the labels. Bands are routinely forgoing getting paid for selling songs or CDs, moving into the profit column instead via the anciliary benefits of living in the time we are. In addition to performing and selling T-shirts and merch to the paying fans, the jackpot these days seems to be making it onto a hit TV commercial. Cansei de Ser Sexy, better known as CSS, is a cool enough band, but what other explanation can there be for their being the number one-all time most viewed Youtube video. Blogger's Blog acknowledges that "They received a fortuitous popularity boost when their 'Music Is My Hot Hot Sex' song (the same song as in the suddenly popular video) was featured in an iPhone commercial." True that, but some bloggers are doubtful. The CSS video is approaching 100 million viewings!
