How to get high without calling your dealer

This wallpaper from makingitlovely is alternately fantastic and nauseating. I'm siding with fantastic but haven't quite made up my mind. Used in small doses it comes off as chic without the looming threat of burning out your retnas.

Counterfitting for fun and profit

So you can't afford the $700 price tag of the uber-famous Ingo Maurer Lucellino lamp? Who can? But if you live in San Francisco you can afford a trip to Chinatown where a knock-off may just be the next best thing.  Pop out of packaging, add 9volt battery and fool everyone into thinking you have style. (We'll know the truth.)

Thanks to Mod Cloth now you can sleep with the band without, you know, getting crabs and ruining your relationship. A simple solution to an age-old problem.

All white walls are for mental institutions and MTV cribs

So your landlord sucks and won't let you paint any of your shiny personality onto his cliche
white walls? Well, with just a small amount of coin you can peel-n-stick your way towards a place that speaks to your uniqueness. Check Dvider's guest artist series for something more original than butterflies and flowers.

A moon bounce for the alcoholic set

Inflatablepub1

Almost every Thurs. I get a 5 o'clock phone call fom a friend convincing me that we should meet up for "one happy hour drink".  This always sounds like a good idea and before I know it I'm guzzling down my vodka soda as an unhappy bouncer stands watch over me 10 minutes after announcing "last call".  Those nights I will inevitably 1.) lose something I can't afford to immediately replace ie., camera, cell phone, purse. 2.) take many embarrassing photographs which I think look great at the time. 3.) justify the bar's $3 atm fee by taking out more money than intended (which I will then promptly spend) and say to myself the next day "God, how did I spend $140 last night?"
Well, those crafty-as-shit Europeans have come up with a clever way of erasing the evidence. Inflatable Pub - complete with tacky art and fireplace. Drink up mates, you'll never have to return to the scene of the crime.
