A Louis Vuitton Bag


I liked this installation of the cameras and the bag very much. It was displayed in front of Louis Vuitton store in Toronto. All the surveillance camera is watching this bag that newly came out as if paparazzi is taking picture of an actress with stunning outfit. I think Louis Vuitton bags are extremely expensive than what they are supposed to be according to their materials. However, I understand and admire how they have tried to be unique with their design for long period time. They make history in fashion because they don't copy other brands. I think it is extremely important that being a good designer means having unique style. Copying may be permitted but it won't make the designer last long so someone can remember their style decades later...

What's this humongous RAT doing here?


I took this picture on 14th and 5th ave. How is this huge rat going to be used? For Holloween? I really don't like rats because I have a bad memories about it. I lived on 11th floor of the apartment when I was little and rat family invaded our kitchen. I can't forget the red eyes of the rats. I didn't watch Ratatouille in the movie theater because I didn't want to see the detailed furs of the rats in the animation. Many of my friends didn't watch the movie because of the characters. What I have realize is character design should base on the taste of target audiences.

Galleries in Dumbo




After our public space experiment, we stopped by Smack Mellon Studio & DAC(Dumbo Art Center) on our way back. Best thing about living in New York is there are so many small, hidden, and interesting galleries that you can just step in. No need to purchase ticket, no one to bother you(not many people usually)... You can totally feel and achieve freedom of being in your own world. Some art pieces didn't even have name or explantion which increased curiosity.

I'm a Burrito Winner


Wow! I'm a Burrito Winner! This was the best thing happened to me last week. I had 10 free burritos at Chipotle (13th st & 6th Ave) and I gave them out to all my friends who were reachable on Sunday evening. I told my mom about this, and she said "You should've bought a lottery"

I didn't even think about getting free burritos because I rarely win raffles. Everyone should put your business card because you never know you are gonna win!

Adorable cookie design


I like to discover little things that make me smile. I went to Georgia's Cafe, located in 87th and Broadway, yesterday and I just couldn't pass by these cookies. How am I supposed to eat them? I wonder they just spontaneously make these shapes or sketch first before they bake.

Organ Recovery System @ MOMA



Since Moma offers free admission on friday evening, it was even more crowded than other days of a week. What I like about being a New School student is getting free admission anytime so I didn't have to see every floor. I can come back anytime I want =) I found this organ recovery design in the industrial design section. Wouldn't it be nice if it could be produced in near future?

Wedding at the ROM Museum






My friend Kathy got married to Marcus at the Royal Ontario Museum. I'm honored to be her bridesmaid despite the curling iron accident. Ouch! What I like the most about ROM is its unique architecture. I will definitely go visit art schools when I go there next time. I will remember every single moment of Kathy's wedding.
