More Oscar coverage from your friends at Basis Design!
Quick: Which female has won more Oscars than anyone in history? (No, it’s not the person who’s name sits atop the article.)
Okay, yes it is. Edith Head, ladies and gentlemen, Costume Designer extraordinaire!

Audrey Hepburn - Roman Holiday
Paul Newman and Robert Redford - The Sting
Grace Kelly, surely one of the more beautiful creatures ever to live, in Rear Window

Just because I love her.
O at Reading.
O at tea.
O at Lollapalooza.
If you don’t know, Karen O is the charismatic lead singer for art-punk/disc0-junk noise band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, bringers of good tidings of great joy and primal screams of feminist ilk. They’re a handful, but you won’t mind.
The clothes are generally made by O friend/fan Christian Joy, whose work can be found here: http://www.christianjoy.us/.

Do you like shelving? Do you also love a good mp3 player? Odds are you’re German. Here’s the latest from the country that brought you Hegel, Kant, and Nietzsche (you’re welcome), the Hohrizontal 51:
It’s a shelf, it’s an mp3 player, it’s a hi-fi stereo system!

Fits in the bathroom!
Looks great in the living room!

(also, somewhat unfortunately, only plays Kraftwerk)
