Some ugly things and neat things:

• Do Not Want: iPod Helmet! What the hell, Karl Lagerfeld
• Tithi Kutchamuch’s Reincarnation project: “an examination of how to bring value to discarded objects such as an egg box, a plastic spoon, a stirrer, a mouthwash bottle, an artificial flower, a polystyrene burger box, and a stack of baking cases. By reincarnating them in silver, Kutchamuch offers them a second life as a table setting. If the user tires of them, they can be traded instead of thrown away, thanks to their material value.” (via)
• Debbie Downer and My First Word rolled into one sarcastic blog: My First Dictionary
• Meet Miss Subway: “Artist Fiona Gardner and writer Amy Zimmer recently caught up with some of the winners of the Miss Subways pageant, held in New York City between 1941 and 1976, to find out where these former transit beauty queens are today. Their resulting show, ‘Meet Miss Subways,’ presents ten subjects, years later, but once again wearing their victory sash.” (via Infrastructurist) [Note: I really want to know if Miss Enid Berkowitz ever got her M.R.S.]
