Shelving Into Coffin, X-ray Bedding, 100 Abandoned Houses, Breakin' While Broomin'
Los Angeles Slinks for 04.06.2009

Shelves For Life: A solid, plywood set of floor-standing shelves are designed to last you a ligetime. Then, when your time arrives, the shelves can be taken apart and reassembled as a coffin.

"The Hypochondriac" Bedding: Amusing and revealing bedding photographed by Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs.

100 Abandoned Houses: A little bit sad, but fascinating. We've always had a love for homes in aged disrepair...the history and the potential of older homes trumps newer dwellings in our heart.

Breakin' Broom Scene: Now this is how to clean the house, get some exercise and look good the whole time while doing it!

Eww. I would be SO creeped out to have those shelves staring at me every day, just waiting for me to die.

I love the abandoned houses. It seems to me that near every elementary school there is a decrepit house that is thereby haunted. I remember distinctly the ones from my elementary school.

I'm not so "green" that I need shelves that will recycle into my coffin. 'K, thanx anyway.

Regarding the coffin shelves:

You know what'll happen - they won't be able to find the instructions for assembly!

Ugh. The coffin shelves bring tacky to a totally new level. What's next, using your oven for DIY cremation? Seriously. Gross.

If you have to empty the shelves to assemble the coffin before you bury the departed, where do you put that stuff when people come back for the post-funeral reception? Posthumous untidiness is all I forsee.

DETROIT! I'm about to move there and I can't wait. I really love that city. Abandonment and all... but there are people (several artists that I know of) buying up whole blocks and renovating them. Slowly, but surely...

Abandoned houses makes me sad - can you hug a shabby shingle and say there, there....?
