YouTube and Google have created the best toy ever!! It allows you to make a YouTube film of a chain of google searches and then select a soundtrack, from genres including romantic, horror and Westerns!

We made one to illustrate the genius that is CultureLabel; but we know how we’ll be spending the rest of this Sunday making films (and we reccommend you try it too)!

From the ever-inspirational SwissMiss.

CultureLabel is their ‘scoop of the year’, in part thanks to these Hitomi Hisono spoons from Waddesdon Manor.

Si Scott’s characteristic liquid style combines hand-inked and penned artwork with modern typography. A hand pulled Silk Screen. Printed By Fred Higginson.

On 50cm by 70 cm, 200gsm South Bank Smooth stock.

Editioned, embossed, signed and only £35, buy here.

Like the legendary Bonnie, we’ve been holding on for a hero and at long last they’ve arrived!

Today purveyors of limited product with soul, Momji, bring us their latest range of Hero Dolls – Snuggle, Yee-ha!, Peace, Thank you, Happy Birthday and BFF!

The dolls are super limited edition, currently only available in the UK and each one will arrive with you in true style, tucked up in a stripy inflated bag and complete with a tiny badge. Our favourite is Snuggle who likes motocross, apparrently!

If you like these, you’ll love Frazzled Mr D.O.B , designed by Takeshi Murakami for the Balic and retailed by yours truly.

ps. Here’s our inspirational song for the day! HERO!

The cacophany of snap and crackle was joined by the din of pop in London’s perpetually fizzing Newburgh Quarter last week with the launch of Sketchbook Magazine’s pop-up shop.   So pop-up shops became really annoying around January 2009, right? Well accept our tired old apologies and get over it because this pop-up really is cool and if you’re working in, or interested in, fashion then Week 2 is definitely worth a butcher’s. Our pick of this week’s line up goes a little like this:   The ‘Getting Started’ series (for all the young hopefuls out there who have yet to be ground down by repeated rejection) promises to be a once in a lifestime learning event (our words not theirs) for the legions of bright eyed, glossy haired people graduating in September. We’ll definitely be heading over to the Blogs & Brands lecture to find out if bloggers really are as independent as they like to think, or whether they’re as vulnerable to a nicely orchestrated PR campaign as the rest of us. Susy Menkes thinks so and we couldn’t possibly say. If the lectures sound a little too cerebral for you, then why not try a fashion illustration or accessories workshop or even sample some live music. Go on, give us one good reason why not.

With just a month to go until the Shanghai Expo 2010 opens, a selection of stunning images of the acclaimed UK pavillion, by Thomas Heatherwick, have been released. 

Ps. Guess which one-stop-culture-shop is co-curating a shop space in the London pavillion…?

The collaboration between Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliason and Chinese architect, Ma Yansong promises to ge a good’un,
creating a unique experience through architecture and light. Feelings Are Facts plays with light, shadow, color and fog and will encourage the 1000s of viewers to explore the very act of seeing, entering an endless space of fog, with color emanating from fluorescent tubes of red, green and blue. By moving about in the locations where the colors blend, viewers will endlessly create their own color spectrums. If only we were planning a trip to China.
