SPEEDY EXHIBITION AT LOUIS VUITTON MAKATI, PHILIPPINES
GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (SAID LIKE AUSTIN POWERS) Created in the 1920’s, the Keepall was the forerunner of modern travel bags. Made in Monogram canvas, its suppleness made it easy to be folded and stored at the bottom of the suitcase. A multi-use travel bag, it became a symbol of a new way to travel. Following the success of the Keepall in the 1930, Louis Vuitton launched a smaller version aimed to be a handbag for travel: the Speedy. Its original name, Express, was changed to Speedy, a reference to the development of modern means of transportation and to an always faster way of living. Its simple lines and sober chic look immediately appealed to the most fashion-conscious customers, starting the trend of carry-all city bags. In 1965, Audrey Hepburn, a great customer of Louis Vuitton, asked Henri-Louis Vuitton to create a smaller version of the Speedy as a Special Order. This is how the Speedy 25 was born. To celebrate the most iconic shape of Louis Vuitton, the various incarnations of the Speedy will be exhibited at the Louis Vuitton Greenbelt 4 store in Makati, Philippines from March 8th to March 28th, 2010. The limited edition Monogram Miroir Speedy 35 will also be available for purchase exclusively during the exhibition period.

Las Vegas Gets Ready For Pool Season
THIS WHAT I’M TALKING BOUT I NEED SOME OF THIS IN MY LIFE IM DONE WITH THIS COLD SHIT With the economy lurching back to life, Las Vegas might be in for one hot summer. If so the hotels are ready with tempting new pool options. Pools are more than places to escape the brutal Las Vegas heat, they’ve become resorts in their own right offering drinking, dancing, gambling, spa treatments, internet access and more. Caesars Palace has created the new Garden of the Gods pool oasis, which makes its debut on March 19. The new Fortuna pool features an 18-foot waterfall where guests can challenge Lady Luck at the swim-up blackjack tables. And in addition to the new pools there are 44 new private cabanas, each with a stocked refrigerator of juice and water, flat-screen TV, DVD player, iPod docking station, wireless Internet access, ceiling fan and plush furniture. The two Bacchus pools are framed by curved staircases and available only to invited guests. Qua Baths & Spa offers poolside treatments and full-service massages are available in the large Jupiter spa cabana. Steve Wynn’s Encore will be opening the Encore Beach Club. The compound will include pools, food and nightlife. At Aria, the Liquid pool offers an adults-only outdoor playground that is topless. At the MGM Grand, Wet Republic’s ultra pool is 53,000 square feet and offers a nightlife experience with poolside pampering and relaxation.

Nunca x Nike Sweet Classic High “Brazil”
I LIKE THESE The latest item to be revealed in Nike Sportswear’s impressive line up of World Cup 2010 products is a canvas Sweet Classic High. Paying tribute to Brazil, the sneaker is adorned both inside and out with imagery from Brazilian artist Nunca. Interestingly, the sneaker lacks both a Swoosh and the tell-tale Sweet Classic foxing stripe, bringing forth a distinctly different look than we’re used to seeing on this silo
