Colorless aluminum Coca-Cola can

November 14, 2009 @ 3:16 pm

Harc Lee thought up this brilliant naked aluminum Coca-Cola can in order to reduce energy use in the manufacturing process. Because the can uses an imprinted Coca-Cola logo rather than a colored logo dying process, companies who make use of this can potentially get rid of toxic paint processes which harm the environment.

Whether you believe the environmental claims or not, I think making aluminum cans like this is awesome. I would love for a beverage company to do this.

This cannot be comfortable

You know, sitting naked in a pile of leaves and twigs. Not to mention the tiny little bugs that could potentially be crawling into every crevice. Blech.

Funny ad for VG, Norway’s largest print newspaper

October 21, 2009 @ 1:25 am

If you live in Norway and you have the VG newspaper lying around, you might find that it comes in handy during uncomfortable times like the one depicted above when a young girl might want to start asking about the birds and the bees. [via]

Review: Uncovered by Jordan Matter

October 16, 2009 @ 1:32 am

Perhaps you’ve heard of Jordan Matter. He is a portrait photographer based in New York City and he and his photos have been featured on television (BBC, The Today Show, MSNBC) and written about in newspapers, magazines, and publications all around the world. If you’re wondering what the big deal is, all you need is to take one look at his book Uncovered and you’ll know why.

You see, Jordan Matter spent 6 years photographing women nude in New York City public spaces and as he and others involved in his project soon found out, breasts — no matter what shape, size, or color — are a big deal. Since 1992, it has been legal for women to bear their breasts in public, an act that was ruled lawful in New York State Supreme Court after the ruling said that it was discriminatory against women since men routinely go shirtless without any problem. Going simply on this ruling alone, Jordan Matter invited volunteers to be a part of his project to see just how people would react to seeing a woman go bare-breasted on the streets of NYC.

Inside Uncovered are not only Jordan Matter’s photos from the fascinating series, but also personal accounts from the very same women that volunteered to be a part of this project. The personal statements from each woman give an idea of how some women see themselves and view the female body in an environment that can sometimes be so harsh and cruel to somebody who might not look like they come straight out of a fashion magazine. The book is stimulating for the eyes and for the mind and it’s definitely a book I would suggest you pick up and flip through on your own time.

Much thanks to Jordan Matter for the signed copy of the book! Check out some images below and purchase the book through Amazon.com for $45.

Disney Heroes as male models

October 6, 2009 @ 7:15 pm

Simon just sent me this funny collection of Disney heroes as male models by David Kawena. It looks as if David covered just about every major male hero from Disney movies (yes, even real-life Disney movie male “heroes” like Troy Bolton from High School Musical).

Check out the entire collection at DeviantArt.
