Max Bill, you are my dream watchmaker:
How A Polaroid Camera Works
Its taken me over three hours to watch "Eames: The Architect and The Painter" on Netflix. Every single time the documentary gets moving... I have to stop and Google the bananas out of their projects and re-watch the magic in its full form. I highly recommend it, especially as someone who has taken the time to watch the majority of their archives. It's a beautiful overview of their life work. The only negative is that its narrated by James Franco, which might be a plus for others who enjoy slow-speaking Americans that model for Gucci. Here is the Polaroid one which is fantastic. Wait for the instructional part. It REALLY gets EPIC around the 5:00 minute mark.

My experience: Video [below] + Strobe Lights + Night + Singing + Fist Pumping + High Fives + Wisdom + J.Lo + Beyonce. Not kidding. I thought for 2.5 seconds I had stepped into Cash Cab. Major let down.
Thanks Happy Cabby NYC!!

Vintage Cigarettes
Aren't these just so beautiful? It's funny because I have recently become intrigued with "branded" cigarettes, because I've been told about the YSL cigarettes in France:
