WTF? Would you Go to a Toilet Restaurant?
There is a toilet-themed restaurant based in Taiwan with several other locations throughout Asia. Owner Wang Zi-Wei says that his inspiration for “Modern Toilet” came from a Japanese cartoon Dr. Stump who loved to “play with poop and swirl it on a stick.” Customers dine on acrylic toilets prettily decorated with designs like roses and seashells. Mealsals are served in miniature toilet bowls, and drinks are served out of urinals that can be taken home as souvenirs. Their website asks visitors if they want to “GO PEE-PEE OR GO Poo-Poo” and lists entrees such as “green dysentery,” “bloody poop” and “diarrhea with dried droppings.” Asians are known to be more…

Langhorne Slim @ Royal Oak Music Theatre 1/17/12 (Photos & Review)
By Alexis Simpson Langhorne Slim is one of my top ten favorite artists.

Guys, if you’re looking to try your best lines on the models, do not ask them if they have driven the car they are modeling for. I heard each model asked that all day long!

Detroit North American International Auto Show 2013 NAIAS (Review & Photos by Alexis)
By Alexis Simpson This year we decided to cover the North American International Auto Show in order to scope out the shiny new cars. It was exciting to see all the international press scurrying about and speaking in their native tongues. Volkswagen had the most dynamic setup with drinks aplenty, pulsing electronic music, and lovely dancing models. I photographed the cars that I thought were the most eye-catching, and will be posting all photos tonight and updating the make and model of cars over the next few days. Which cars do you like? My top car of the show is the Bentley Speed Convertible otherwise known as the the Continental…
