30 Vintage Racist Ads →
Guess who thinks Van Heusen shirts are for yuppy scum? Guess who also will never be buying Van Heusen shirt again? Just kidding, I forgive them for their sins of yore, but I don’t forgive them for their fabric choices. Click the above and enjoy some classic racist ads from some of our favorite and forgotten brands of yesteryear

The Best of 2011 Mixtape →
Oh, my patient subjects, I really appreciate your tolerance of my insolent day job over these past few months as it’s really taken away from my primary duty of being your sole and authoritative cultural guru. Really, you’re quite gracious for having waited, but now your desires can be wholly fulfilled, for the BEST OF 2011 MIX IS FINALLY UPON US. And only 2 months late…

Air-i-gami: Fine Balloon Art →
That punk ass clown at your birthday party ain’t got nothin on these guys. CMP loves when the classic meets the whimsical, and this amazing balloon art team does just that by reinterpreting iconic paintings (American Gothic above) in balloon form. Click the title for more, including Mona Lisa and a latex take on Warhol’s favorite soup cans.

Rolex Milgauss →
Whoooo! This ish is hot! Check the link for all sorts of fun stuff on the Rolex Migauss, which apparently was introduced in the 50s for scientists who had issues with watches that couldn’t withstand extremely high gauss count magnetic fields. Common problem, I know. Only $7500, get on it!

Alan Sailer plays with his food the way that Buffalo Bill plays with young ladies. It ain’t pretty. Click the titlebar for more awesome pics of food getting blown to shit.

Raf Simons Chain Oxford →
Images of my favorite Belgian’s flossy new dress shoes hit the net this morning. You know I’m always looking for a way to make dressing up look less like dressing up and more like I’m an asshole.

Park & Bond's Guide to Rolexes →
Park & Bond put together a nice little history of the Rolex brand and breaks down the history of all of the significant roley models for the novice watch collector. Read up, get familiar, dive to Marianas trench, and if you’re so inclined, pick one up in their store after you figure out what’s gonna sit well on your wrist.
I got two of those.

Guy Laramee's Book Carvings →
Guy Laramee’s works, the most interesting of which is a series comprised of 3 dimensional landscapes carved into volumes of texts, are stunningly original and technically impressive. Laramee aims to challenge his viewers to consider the implications of technology, namely its impacts on various aspects of our day-to-day lives. Click the above link for some really amazing pieces.

Every Significant Batsuit Ever →
If this blog covered every obsession I’d held from my younger days, there’d be 5 times the posts, but sometimes I come across something that just can’t be ignored. Loved this retrospective Batman costumes put together by Benjamin Andre Moore. The above is only about 25% of his entire look. Check the link for more.

Banksy - "Cardinal Sin" →
Banksy has been pretty active in Liverpool the past few weeks, and I’ve thought about posting some of his stuff that’s come up (particularly the “The Lifestyle You’ve Requested is Out of Stock” piece), but it wasn’t until “Cadinal Sin” popped up that I felt compelled to log on to Tumblr and share with y’all. Clearly a reaction to the...

Jimmy Choo Luxury Coffee Sleeve →
I don’t even know where to begin on this one. My bredren over at BornRich put up this post about the Jimmy Choo brand’s latest brilliant invention. From the lineage of the golden toothpick comes another would be disposable item that now costs you a shitload of money: the snakeskin coffee sleeve
You know who never gets burned by their hot coffee? Snakes! We should make them into...

Nike Air Raid 2 (1992) →
Notice a recurring theme? Everything from 1986 to 1994 strikes a chord with me. What passes for nostalgia seems to be getting shorter and shorter as things change faster and faster.
Philosophical ponderings aside, how fawnky fresh is the Nike Air Raid 2? It harkens back to an era of Cross Colours and Africa Medallions. I had these shoes. And I also owned both of the aforementioned were in...

D'Angelo's Six European Shows →
Ahhh to be footloose and fancy free. It was a few months back when promos for the first D’Angelo concerts in 10 years starting popping up on the internets, with rumblings of London and Paris shows being shrugged off by those of us who have been lying in wait for the past 10 years. Well, a few months later, and with 3 sold out shows in Amsterdam and Stockholm, it appears it’s really...

Bastard Swordsman: Why There More Than Likely... →
bastardswordsman:
One of the biggest complaints I hear from heads that can recall the two previous Golden Eras of Hip Hop is that mainstream/major label Rap/Hip Hop has strayed too far from what made many of us initially fall in love with it. Now, it’s almost 2012 and things still aren’t getting any better….

Nintendo x West Cost Customs: Mario Karts →
AutoBlog was in the City of Angels for the L.A. Auto Show and got to check out the life-sized, and apparently actually workable Mario Kart replicas crafted by West Coast Customs at the behest of those wacky Japanese executives over at Nintendo. Click the link above for pics of both Mario and Luigi’s carts, or tune into the former Pimp My Ride garage’s reality show where we’re...

Versace x H&M Preview →
In the words of a great ascetic of our time “OH HAIL NAW!”
Previews of images from the upcoming (and CMP anticipated) Versace x H&M collaboration collection have been leaking out over the past few weeks and months but were restricted to women’s wear and international magazine readership.
Yesterday, however, the boys were blessed with a couple of images from who knows...
