Michael Dweck: Habana Libre “Habana Libre is not a media-fabricated Cuban postcard of crumbling mansions or old American cars, but a revealing and contemporary work by a visual artist adept at capturing the quiet gesture, the sensuous eye and the proud and provocative pose of that most romantic of contradictions: Cuba.” http://www.amazon.com/Michael-Dweck-Habana-Libre/dp/8862081847

New York has a thousand universes in it that don’t always connect, but we do all walk the same streets, hear the same sirens, ride the same subways, see the same headlines in the Post, read the same writing on the wall. That shared landscape gets inside all of us and in some small way, unites us, makes us think we know each other even when we don’t.

DECODED by Jay-Z

I’m a little late to jump on this bandwagon but I must say how impressed I am with the campaign to hustle Jay-Z’s new autobiography is. Jay teamed with NYC ad firm Droga5 along with Bing and the results are inspiring. In the book (with a great Warhol Rorschach Test cover) Jay covers his ascent, the reason behind the rhyme, and the hoods he’s passed thru on the way. Appropriate passages from the book are replicated in the most unorthodox locales such as the bottom of the Delano pool, on plates at Spotted Pig, and in the lining of a Gucci Jacket in the store window on Fifth Avenue. As part of a scavenger hunt they hid all 320 pages of Decoded in plain sight in 13 cities: on a rooftop in New Orleans, cheeseburger wrappers in New York City, and more. Fans who found them all got a chance at two tickets to any Jay-Z concert anywhere, for life! 

Genius.

3DD

This new “interactive” book from photographer Henry Hargreaves features page after page of 3D topless women with one thing in common, they are all natural. Not a boob job to be seen. The book includes a free pair of 3D aviators to facilitate the process because, as Hargreaves says, “the universal truth is that looking and talking about boobs is just a lot of fun”.
