The 9 minute prelude to the new web series Buttry Brown, a blacksploitation, tongue-in-someone’s-cheek comedy. Watch Buttry Brown kick some honkey ass around the streets of Seattle with her sidekick “Sida Gravy”, model in some really classy photo sessions, and do the nasty with hot guys in dumpsters.
It is a rather long prelude but it sets the back story for the series, helps you understand Buttry’s struggle with whitey, and how hard it is to be a gorgeous model and a vigilante in today’s male dominated world. Keep your eyes out for this new web series starring Ade Conere as Buttry Brown. Ep 1 just premiered live last week. We await its glittery upload with lip glossed breath.
Lifting the mask was about the worst thing we could have done, under the circumstances.
He shone. I mean, he was somehow confected…caramelian…slick, sticky, and powdery, with golden sugar dusting his lashes that shook loose into motes as he fluttered awake, fluttered and fixed us with a liquid look.
And we looked back, which was perhaps our second mistake. That shell-chocolate masklet, perched on heated brow, began to wilt, and so, for a moment, did our determination. But we remembered our hunger, and drew strength from it as we chose our knives, and the boy began to struggle.
Apparently this latest plastic creation from Italian designer Plust is a modern take on the garden gnome. Which I probably wouldn’t have guessed had they ruined my dreams of Lovecraftian lawn adornments and squid-like kitsch. But this, my friends, is gnome in name only, especially when it comes to the sickly green shade in which these glow-in-the-dark dwarves come. Perhaps with a bit of chthonic elbow grease these pint-sized Godlings will be just the thing we need to spruce up the dirt and dead animals that currently constitutes the Ectomo HQ garden.
It makes my heart glad to see that someone is finally considering the chainsaw artist when it comes to carting around one’s tools of the trade. Violinists have the iconic image of an open case littered with change. Cellists are known for annoying the everliving shit out of people with obnoxiously large cases. But the Chainsawist? Wholly ignored by the casing industry, which when you stop to think about it is a less than bright move on their part.
Be you lumberjack or dismemberment fetishist, now anywhere you go with your chainsaw you go in style.
Neat idea isn’t it? A seemingly useless bit of waste transformed into something useful and (depending on your personal aesthetic) attractive. Some junk-artist must’ve had a particularly good idea from which we can all now benefit, right? Wrong. Instead, “industrial designer” Sergio Silva did what meth-fiends have been doing for years, going one step further by sticking some oil, a wick, and a magnet into the improvised crank-pipe. All of which somehow justifies its $650 price tag. Yes that’s right, six hundred and fifty dollars for a light bulb dripping with what I can only describe as concentrated design genius.
This bit of divine inspiration made the rounds a few weeks ago, and while irked at the blatant insanity displayed by the designer I simply moved on; deciding that the people paying $650 for an afternoon crafts project probably deserved exactly what they were getting. But Sergio has really outdone himself with his latest creation, and earned my ire anew.
I’ll spare you all the usual rant on the constant consternation I endure at the hands of conceptual designs. Suffice it to say if wishes were pennies my dreams of realized concepts would have made me a millionaire many times over. But this…this is simply too much for even me to endure.
This concept by Laura Jaeger is the distillation of my affinity for obnoxiously large hoods, superfluous strapping, and modular design. It’s as if Ms. Jaeger had a direct line into my most obscene fashionisto fantasies, and I’d like to take this opportunity to formally apologize for those things I did with Margaret Thatcher. No one should have to witness that.
The model really doesn’t do the piece justice, but below the jump is a more clear cut indication of how the piece is supposed to work; essentially functioning as a messenger bag when not in use as a monstrous hood. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to track down any further information on the Hood Air or Laura Jaeger, so whether this is actually in production or just an incredibly good idea is unknown. If any of know more about this wondrous design please contact me immediately so that I might spread the gospel of obnoxious hoods.
In my quest to adorn my home in the manner of a mad minimalist I frequently find delightful items that don’t necessarily merit their own spotlight. Yet rather than deprive you of my finds I’ve taken the liberty of cleaning out my link-dumping grounds and cobbling together Ecthomo’s first closet cleaning.
Moho Design’s Cellula rug reminds me of the walls inside of a living spaceship. For this reason alone I must have it.
Hit the jump for more items from the Ecthomo link closet.
In sheer defiance of the World Wide Web Consortium's will, Ectomo was designed using a non-web-standard font. Luckily, it is included in the excellent font pack released by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, which can be freely downloaded in Mac and PC formats here. Ectomo should still look fine without it, though.
