Post written by Ashley L. Simko Fernando Brízio has translated his Painting with Giotto series (#3 shown above) into wearable art for Italy’s Flexibility: Design in a fast-changing society event, which kicked off this weekend. “The topic of the exhibition – flexibility – gave me the chance to find again one of these ideas that were still unsolved. This enabled me to create open objects that, like a programme, can be modified, erased and restarted multiple times.”- Fernando Brízio More story and photos below…. Appropriately titled “Renewable Clothing”, each white dress boasts multiple pockets to (vertically) hold uncapped felt tipped markers. Once the markers are placed, it takes less than 2 hours for the colorful ink splotches to form. Conveniently, the dresses can also be washed after each wear to provide a blank canvas for the next occasion.

Bricks are so last century. For today’s wacky construction jobs, you need a building material more unique than stupid old bricks. Architect Greg Lynn came up with just such a material, designedusing lightweight recyclable plastic. Each tri-cornered unit can be mass produced, and is robotically-cut through a process called rotational molding. To prove that his crazy new bricks can stand up to the test, he created a structure called the Blobwall Pavilion made completely out of them and put it up for display at the Sci-Arc Gallery in Los Angeles. While it certainly looks interesting, I’m not sure anyone will be making buildings out of the things anytime soon. But I kind of hope I’m wrong. Blobwall Pavilion, via PSFK

When it comes to the Big Daddy Driver, looks can be deceiving. The oversized head driver is actually a grass and weed trimmer that easily fits into your standard-size golf bag. You’re bound to get some surprised looks when you pull it out and start trimming the grass around your golf ball. This so-calledgolf accessory is 42 inches tall and weighs less than 2 pounds. At home the Big Daddy Driver is sure to help with lawn chores while providing some light-hearted fun, not to mention the double-takes you’ll get from your neighbors. Selling for $50, it runs on six AA batteries, and yet it’s powerful enough to be a decent grass and weed trimmer. Big Daddy Driver/DVICE

Arranged Marriages: The Solution For Busy People? - According to an AP article, some busy singles are asking their parents to find their spouse for them. Why spend time going on endless bad dates when you can have your parents select your soulmate? Proponents of arranged marriages say the process takes the guesswork out of picking a partner, relieves the stress of having too many choices, and puts your future in the hands of those whose experience you may trust more than your own. While this way of matching people is popular among certain cultures, I can’t imagine asking my mother to find me a husband. I’d rather mess up on my own than blame my mother for picking someone I may or may not like, even if that means six months of bad dates. [AP via AM New York]

Via:New York Magazine OMG, the new season of The Real Housewives of New York City is gonna be SO GOOD, judging by this New York magazine piece about our favorite couple, Alex McCord, and Simon Van Kampen. (The pair have hired their own publicist to keep them in the public eye in between seasons.) Despite the fact that they feel as though they were “victims of editing,” the couple, after contract negotiations, have signed on for the second season of the reality show because they came to New York to be famous, and as Simon says, “Now we have that.” [NY Magazine]   Via:Jezebel…
