Yokoo
Ten years ago when someone said the word ‘bling' you may have thought of a gnarly rapper from Oakland talking about his diamond-encrusted grill. These days when you hear it, it's more likely a middle-aged woman talking about the cubic zirconia earrings she bought off eBay. The term is so far gone that the only way to save it from dying a middle class death is to overcompensate by making it so ironic that it reverts back to its original form.
Phuong and Seb's Belt Co.
While running the risk of being somebody who ejaculates all over themselves at the merest mention of design, I think there is something exciting about people who produce one thing and produce it well. Phuong and Seb are two such people. These guys make belts and they clearly don't fuck around. Even the language of their belts gives me little frissons of pleasure: 'Leather Keeper', 'Curved Tongue End', 'English Nickel Buckle', 'Double Butt Cow Leather' (tee-hee).
Lonely Hearts, LONELY Collection II
Sensible cotton undies and t-shirt bras never got a woman anywhere. Except perhaps to the prime ministerial office. (Sorry J-Gill - you say no to gay marriage, I infer you have boring underwear.) Sure there maybe a world of comfort in saggy boy leg Bonds, but by no means are they appropriate attire for lolling about your abode drinking dandelion tea and arranging freshly-cut peonies in your airy loft studio.

TOURIST Magazine
Keeping an eye on the cool kids is much easier when they're all sitting at the same table having dinner and you find that chink in the wall and try to go for a quick peek.
That's where TOURIST Magazine come in; this isn't a looky-lu into some fashionista's daily shoe choices, but moreso a view into the better things.
Our Legacy
There seems to be a prevailing consensus in this country that Sweden is some kind of promised land where everything works, everybody is attractive, and no one is fat. Well, I've been to Sweden and I can tell you that this is a total load of bollocks because I saw at least three fat people in the two weeks I was there.
Print Liberation online shop
When looking over FourThousand's Google analytics a few shocking things stand out. Firstly, all of you freaks can't stop clicking on the keyboard cat link from 113 issues ago. Really, get over it. More importantly though, everyone in the world clicked on our 2008 link to Print Liberation - a tiny little Philadelphia based duo who's designs are pure genius.
