Check out McG’s video of Kirsten Dunst in full on sailor moon cosplay, produced by Takashi Murakami, the Superflat artist and Vuitton visionaire. I most enjoyed the wtf faces of the tokyo street kids. Takashi Murakami did great with product placement; I see his blossom flowers everywhere. But poor Kiki looked much better dancing in Bring It On.

Sorry for cross posting this tweet, but we had to say more than 140 words about Dziga Vertov’s brill experimental film Man with a Movie Camera. Playing with the idea of hidden cameras way before (1929) Candid Camera, the camera finds itself at a birth and death, and even ends up in a beer glass. We’ve often had nights of filming end up that way with our documentary — let’s say it’s very inspiring. And, if you happen to be in Dubailand, check out the film accompanied by soundtrack music at Mahmovie at the Jam Jar tonight at 7:30PM (Music for the Eyes series).

Project Runway stomps into its 7th season, finally living the dream of brand extension via video game. Women’s Wear Daily sees the rise of video games targeted at fashionistas. Ubisoft’s Imagine, for little girls, lets them try on professions with games like Fashion Designer, Figure Skater, and Doctor — though I wish they had scientist and computer programmer in there too. Nintendo’s Style Savvy puts you in control as a trendy boutique owner. Jezebel thinks the Project Runway video game can lift up the fashion industry in the way that Rockband and Guitar Hero did for the music industry – “provide an interesting experience for players and a profitable outcome for those holding the licenses.” The problem with that is music has a well-defined bundle of rights that ensure the copyright holder gets paid licensing fees. But fashion is generally not protected under copyright, so the designer would not be compensated.

My lust for music far exceeds my musicality. That’s why I’m eagerly awaiting the plastic orange TNR-O tenori-on, the electro-instrument created by Yamaha and artist Toshio Iwai. The tenori-on looks like a hybrid of Battleship, Connect Four, Tetris and Simon and “lets you enjoy playing without any knowledge of music or musical performance techniques.” Sounds in tune with my sensibilities! Little Boots rocks the tenori-on in this video for Remedy:

Looks like Rick is calling

Numerous iPhone users serenade their favorite device to keep it in proper working condition: “Never gonna give you up… never gonna set you down…” So perhaps it should come as no surprise that the iPhone has been Rickrolled! The new “ikee” worm replaces the background with a picture of Rick Astley. The worm began in Wollongon, Australia and continues to spread its way around iWorld. As of now, it’s relatively harmless but there is always a chance it could mutate into something more serious (Bonus question 1: Which is more dangerous, a new flu virus or a new computer virus?)

We love Rick Astley! And we enjoy his wonderful video by choice on a regular basis! But we are even more impressed with the celebrity second life phenomena of the internet (Bonus question 2: What is your Bacon number?). Twenty years ago, Rick Astley was the talk of the town. Ten years ago he was a faded memory. And now, his starry eyes make their appearance in everything from Scientology protests to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade to Nancy Pelosi press releases. And that’s one hit wonderful! Critical accolades, sold out concerts, and platinum records are all fine and dandy. But true fame rides the wave of an internet meme (Bonus question 3: When was your last wardrobe malfunction?) .
