Ray-Ban Never Hide "Tomatina"
What a dope video...Ray-Ban’s latest campaign for “Never Hide” is aptly titled Tomatina as the Valencian town of Buñol is the backdrop for the yearly tomato festival.

Field Notes
 |  |  |
Nowadays everyone has a blackberry, iPhone, iPad, etc to write their ideas and to-do lists in...I do it too. But to me there's nothing like a hand written to-do list. Checking off or running a line thru each task as things get done (makes me feel good and ish). If we ever bump into each other, there's a good chance I have a notebook, post-it note, or something on me.
I love...LOVE these here notebooks from J Crew. At $10 for a pack of 3, you can't go wrong.
"Inspired by the vanishing subgenre of Midwestern design, old-fashioned pocket ledgers and the charming appeal of a well-edited to-do list, Field Notes are a refreshing break from high-tech handheld PDAs. Perfectly sized to pop in a back pocket, they're great for jotting down observations, reminders and inspirations of all kinds. Each soft-covered book comes with 48 pages of high-quality lined paper (read: no feathering or bleeding) and the back cover boasts a handy ruler and a list of "Practical Applications" for the notebook's use (Shady Transactions, Gambling Debts, Hymns/Prayers and Last Will and Testament, just to name a few)". - J Crew

Speed Racers
Before fixed-gear bikes became de rigueur for urban aesthetes, they were the weapon of choice for Japan’s fearless Keirin cyclists. A gladiatorial incarnation of track cycling that dates back to 1948, the Japanese sporting phenomenon operates by an intricate set of rules that sees competitors jostling for position on steeply banked tracks at lightning fast speeds, all but encouraging spectacular crashes. In today's film for NOWNESS, Jonathan de Villiers (whose fashion photography and portraiture has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, Wallpaper* and Fantastic Man) traveled to the national Keirin school in Tokyo and the Tachikawa and Yokkaichi velodromes to decode the strategy that governs the racing phenomenon. “I knew next to nothing about it when I went,” says de Villiers, “but I'm a big admirer of the anthropological documentary where you get taken into a whole different world. And what a strange, special and complex universe it turned out to be.” The state-run industry amasses tens of billions of dollars in gambling revenue each year.
