Reincarnation of the World Trade Center

I don't want to start with the World Trade Center's development which became a rebuilding to forget 911. The towers look like they can be built anywhere. The memorial was quite ok,since it was like that the footprint was the scar of the destroyed twinnies. But again, you have to be imaginative to imagine the towers. Looking at this current cityscape (albeit just a rendering) makes you cringe because this side of New York became less iconic in terms of cityscape recall.

Now, maybe, there is hope with the Edgar Street Towers by IwamotoScott posted in Dezeen. Isolated from the commoners (Current World Trade Center Tower proposals), that tower on the right side has more umphh and scrotum to be a pompous ass, which is needed for New York to say that it is strong and resilient than just safe. Click on image and the Dezeen link to see more renderings of the interiors which has all the curves, tension and stretches of digital architecture. Don't you think the ground floor resembles World-Trade Center's Ground level? Only this time it is sexy. It is very hard to think that this doesn't have any allusions to the deceased twin towers. IwamotoScotts' is a morphed version if we are to think that late WTC towers are the hard-on version....too hard it was stiff, this version seems that the dickwands finally engage each other..which is gay.... Anycow, this proposal is a far cry from the stupid and misfits of the World trade Center proposal (first image, the group of buildings on the right). It is good that Edgars Street Towers are staying away from the losers....

Attack of the Moles

Ok beauty is in the I of the hottie looker... but man...this is just plain ugly to me. The idea is gewd...like catching energy from sun and camera flashes through those red dots. But the overall design...is not speaking to me....I wonder if the placement of the cells were strategically located..if not...they could have made it more dense... this net looking veil looks like it is infested by annoying areolas (your tits minus the nips) ... What if there was a pointillist kind of effect on the veil by gradually decreasing the density of warts as it crawls down the net...
Sorta reminding you of this vintage hat. But this hat def looks better than that pavilion...Oh yeah, I forgot....Swiss Pavilion at Shanghai Expo, Designed by Buchner Brundler Posted in Dezeen
As the moles attack...I can hear plok, plok plok plok plok plok plok

Fur Ball at Shanghai Expo 2010

I love fur balls. this fur ball looking building is the UK pavilion at Shanghai Expo 2010 designed by Thomas Heatherwick (post in Dezeen). It is called seed cathedral. Don't be deceived by its soft appearance cus it's nothin cuddly. It's more like...a sea urchin or an ant eater. However, those spines won't hurt you because they are made of fibre optic rods. The design is made to draw in light to the interior at daytime and ...render a halo like glow at night through it's fiber optic filaments...ohhh...can't wait to see it finished. Anyway, again it will not hurt...unless I push you to it.

The fugly sister of Eiffel Towel


London and Paris are such good Euro sisters. Paris has a popular se* toy....none other than her Eiffel dildo. For some strange reason, London was so jealous, now it is creating its own for the Olympics in 2012, called Arcellow Mittal Orbit, designed by Anish Kapoor (Dezeen post). Although not as big as the Eiffel tootsie roll... the knotting and the crazy curves surely can stimulate the senses. Thanks to Arup, London had never been this kinkeeee.

"Lladro" Erotica


I tot'at'ferst, that this was a work of a jap. We all know that japs are stylish and fashionable... but because of their awesome 80s animation and comics...like manga... they can also be pretty much.... as-horny-as-everybody-in-the-world-can-get.. prolly hornier. This post is long overdue since the exhibitionists figurines were showed only until Feb 15 in Gallery Nine NY. weee NY! I first saw it in Dezeen but when I saw it again in Karmatrendz...there was a divine intervention that called me to repost it.... It is called Undressed by Jessica Lichtenstein. I cant help notice the use of past tense - undressed. The girls are still covered...I aint seein titties and pussies yet...just all provocation and eroticism (which I still love). that's my foyst comment. Also, I wonder if these were pure manga and anime merchandise...will it still qualify as art since it was made by japs themselves? Does it mean it has to be a work of a non-jap to be regarded as artistits?Other than that... all i can say that this is 21st century Lladro evolution..aint sure if these figurines are made of porcelain or some kind of stone material.... but if it is...yes...21st century lladros... that will never go along with your chinaware...bec these look like toys.... if you have a console for sextoys...these will def look geeeewd. they look like plastic or some kind of rubber...soft and supple....like dildos.... toys you never had when you were a kid.

Calatrava's Manolo Blahnik


We have seen Zaha design her shoes...which turn our to look very her...not ursula-ish....curves and all that. With this blog entry, the architect's works become the inspiration. In Dezeen, Tea Petrovic's Shoes pay homage to Calatrava and a sculptor named, Naum Gabo. I am not so familiar with the sculptor, but with Santhiagoh....we go waaayyyy back...UH HUH... way back... way back when the only architects you knew was Frank, Louis and Mies... then all of a sudden Santiago's bridge make a debut...so pristine and white but dynamic...So I said... Eero Saarinen is so last decade (snap snap on air) ... Don't get me wrong, I love Eero.... in a vintage kind of way. Santiago has really defined himself in the world of architecture geeks...whose designs are becoming a source of aesthetic. Now I wonder, if Tea is alluding her design aesthetic to other artists/designers..im curious what her own design voice is. Still, even if I am not a shoe lover, the first time I saw these Petrovic's shoes, I remember myself seeing Caltrava's bridge for the first time. It was like the orgasm that Carrie Bradshaw was having over a pair of Manolos. Purely magical.
