September 28th, 2009
Posters, there is a lot of crap items available on the market. However not over at TSA. They know a hit when they see one. They have stuff which make you doubt whether or not to tear down some of the old ones. It’s either that or move to a bigger place. Good thing, there’s a sale going on. I very much like the poster shown above by Matthieu Bessudo aka McBess which will be featured on short notice on our blog. Think I’m going to hit the order button.

Signed WTWTA art
September 23rd, 2009
The WTWTA pop-up store was the center of LA last weekend at 15 Twenty. They sure know how to attract attention. When I saw some of the pictures on Spike Jonze’s site I got strucked by one of the signed items which is for sale in the gallery as seen above. It shows Alexander in a sublime way. I’m still in doubt. To buy or not to buy? Hmm… O yeah, the pop-up store. Hit this link to see lots of pictures. It’s worth it.
Thom Yorke – The Hollow Earth
September 22nd, 2009The new EP ‘Feeling Pulled Apart By Horses’ by Thom Yorke is out on Vinyl at your local (better) record store. New material calls for new vids. Check out the new arty video for the ‘The Hollow Earth’. We think it’s pretty wicked. It also contains Banksy’s artwork which make it double wicked. So enjoy.
Forza Vespa Ride Out
September 22nd, 2009
Last sunday I woke up and was pleasantly surprised by the shiny sun. It looks like summer is having an encore. I decided to wash my Vespa PK50 Plurimatic while I bumped into my neighbour who also has a Vespa. She told me about the Forza Vespa initiative that was supposed to be held that day, a ride-out. I joined and enjoined the ride. Sign me up for the next! Hit the read more to view some of the pictures I took that day.
No Place Like Home no.18
September 22nd, 2009A place where we withdraw ourselves from society/corporate/public transportation mayhem and get completely at ease. This is the place we call home and we all digg it and there’s no other place like it. So when spending so much time running naked from room to room , watching TV, hosting crazy parties, cook delicious food and all other fun stuff we do over there… why not make it a très sexy looking one! This is a returning post with sick looking interior designs of apartments and studio’s.. So go ahead and enjoy. Love from AFTG.

The Birdhunter
September 21st, 2009Two weeks ago we posted about our missing kitty. The result, a couple dozen voicemail messages, a handfull of e-mails and text messages and some comments on our post. Unfortunately none of them led to the exact whereabouts of our kitty ór killer bird. We mention ‘killer’ because a number of people have also spotted the bird. See the reaction of Avram:
‘Whoa! I’m in Korithi on the island of Andros, off the coast of Greece. I just saw huge fucking bird steal octupus from klamata vendor while clutching a cat in its talons! I went to spear it with my trusty javelin but the Simurgh got away. I will keep an eye out, but no guarantees.’
This is some serious shit guys. We couldn’t just sit back and wait. We had to take some action ourselves. Therefor we present you, The Birdhunter.

Notice that The Catsuit comes with a little cat mask to make the bird chasing effort look good. A cat looking tail however is not included so you have to make your own.
