On This Day: 4.8.11

On this day I wore a white H&M tee, grey Fragile jeans, black Coach sneakers, H&M hoodie, and my dark brown leather jacket. I met up with my friend Lasko and Hillary. We had sepreate plans but ended up getting together. We ended up stopping in random galleries, buying Jamba Juice for the first time and pigging out in Burger Creations. It was a good day.

 Made from tires, epic!

 This was my favorite

 Can you guess what this is? It's BROOKLYN!

This furniture store is actually three separate stores with one connecting passage way. Great marketing strategy, the store was endless. 

 Guess how much!

 SEVEN STACKS!

Oh yeh, after every meal in the city it's never a bad idea to stop in Crumbs

  This week was a Cotton Candy cupcake

 Lol Lasko kept snapping

And to end my day on a great note, I was able to get the LAST issue of Nicki Minaj's BlackBook spread!

Blood Lamp

This Blood Lamp doesn’t look that bloody, but the way you turn it on can be considered gruesome. It only works once, and you need to add of a drop of your blood to activate it! The idea is to stop and think about how badly you need light before you use it. Designer Mike Thompson created the lamp in order to draw attention to how much energy we waste.

What if power came at a cost to the individual?

The average American consumes 3383kwh of energy per year. That’s equivalent to leaving the light on in 4 rooms for a whole year. The simple flick of a switch allows us to power appliances and gadgets 24/7 without a thought to where it comes from and the cost to the environment.

For the lamp to work one breaks the top off, dissolves the powder, and uses their own blood to power a simple light. By creating a lamp that can only be used once, the user must consider when light is needed the most, forcing them to rethink how wasteful they are with energy, and how precious it is.
