Letter of the Day

“Dear NYLON Guys,

Mick Jagger’s Alive?  Whoa!

-JOE MAMA, Anchorage AK.”

Song + Site Of the Day

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Today’s Site of the Day is Uniform Freak, a giant collection of stewardess clothes from around the world.

Though all of them are interesting, our favorite ones hands-down are the leopard print outfits from Kenya Airlines.  They look a lot like the Stephen Sprouse / Marc Jacobs print that hit the runway a few years ago.  Definitely a good way to travel.

In fact, we were so inspired by the site that we found our own favorite airplane uniforms – from Hello Kitty – that you can see at left.

Seriously, if you have to hang out in a plane, shouldn’t it be with Hello Kitty?

Today’s Song of the Day is Killing Me, by the Pierces, because you can listen to it on repeat when you’re washing the dishes or doing your laundry, and it somehow keeps you calm.

Now just listen to that song, while flying on Kenya Airlines and looking at this insane uniform, and you’re all set.

Song + Site Of the Day

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Today’s Song of the Day is I’m a Lady by Santogold.

It’s the type of song that should blast from a roller rink in the summer – and what a coincidence, it’s finally summer, and we have a pair of roller skates in the fashion closet that we’re saving for a very special mission.

Stay tuned for our August issue for that…

Today’s Site of the Day is Kilian Nakamura, a Japanese toy store that has basically everything including (for real):  Robot fireflies, fizzy bubble bath tablets that look like money, a Hello Kitty laser beam, and something called “Virtual Bubble Wrap” that you can keep on your desk and pop when you’re feeling stressed out.

The site also sells “Love Bath,” which is what’s pictured at left.  They ship to the US, and the whole thing is insanely fun.

Speaking of insanely fun, Marvin met a cool hairdresser in LA named Victoria who has a club called The Miniskirts.  It’s a group of California girls who all own mini-coopers, and try to drive them en-masse at rallies.  Check them out before they get their own clothing line / reality show /plastic dolls:
