Josephine de la Baume for Agent Provacateur
London, United Kingdom – As far as fashion films go we are often a bit bored with the predictability and lack of story telling but this season we applaud Agent Provacateur for its in your face approach to marketing lingerie. (I know, I know, is lingerie really fashion? We consider fashion not to be just about clothing but about creating an image so in this case yes it is!) The Spring/Summer 2011 campaign is shot by Johan Renck music video director. (Remember Stakka Bo’s hit “Here We Go Again”, that song that we all hummed endlessly the summer of ’94 – yep he is Stakka Bo). In addition to Renck, the Agent Provacateur face this season is Josephine de la Baume, french actress, DJ, jet setter and all around hottie. “Watching Josephine,” a voyeoristic journey into apartment x, injects what could be considered sleazy with a bit of ”playfulness” and a wicked sense of humour. The outcome is down right super sexy fun. With an empowering message of a new type of feminism, they make us want to buy it all! After all, who wouldn’t want to look fabulously glamourous underneath those boring duds you might be wearing to the office.

Yale University If you want to brush up on all those economic lessons you slept through in college check out the Open Yale Courses -Economics 252 taught by Robert Shiller, economist, author and a forecaster of sorts. The on-line course is a look at finance in all its glory, “history, strengths and imperfections” and a glimpse into the future. Shiller was one of the wise men that predicted the dot com crash as well as the housing crisis. Author of NY best seller Irrational Exuberance, we want to hear everything he has to say, maybe we can finally understand how to make our millions!

OAT Shoes has completed their “Virgin Collection” of biodegradable sneakers. And…. wait for it…. not only are they biodegradable, but they will sprout into an O2 giving lovely tree! So once you have loved them to death plant in your garden and they will get a second life! We just want to know – is it an evergreen or decedious tree and where can we buy them?
