During a recent visit to the BrooklynMuseum, I was excited to see that they’ve relocated their rather ad hoc gift shop from a tiny corner tucked away at the front of the lobby to its own main-floor gallery space that is absolutely massive! In the new shop, they have all kinds of very nice but crazy expensive shit that you can spend way too much money on, not the least of which is this Kiki Big Doll oversize plush by Japanese superflat artist Takashi Murakami, who currently has a show at the museum.

Wouldn’t it be fun to be the person who designs the coin-operated Kiddie Rides that you sometimes still see out front of suburban grocery stores and strip malls? They aren’t as easy to find now as they were when I was a kid back in the stone age, but I still enjoy documenting them whenever see one. Because, nostalgia.

I just heard or read (who can even remember) that Elon Musk is all of a sudden the richest man in the world, but that will probably change by the time this posts. Because that is what happens. I spotted this paste-up of the Tesla creator / general psycho as Fictional Action Figure Buzz Lightyear on a boarded-up menswear store as I walked up Broadway toward the Flatiron Building. The quote, “Dream Until It’s Your Reality” is a new tag that I see all over the city now. Life is strange.

Update! See how this image changed just few days after the post went live, after the jump!

As part of its Spring/Summer 2019 line, Dior has partnered with artist KAWS (aka Brian Donnelly) to use a signature Dior Pink version of the iconic BFF figure in a variety of store promotions and campaigns. I spotted this guy — who is about 8-feet tall, suited up in a sharp Dior suit, with hands, shoes and head made from tufts of pink roses (which are actually paper facsimiles) — in the front window of the Dior pop-up shop at the corner of West 14th Street and 9th Avenue in NYC’s Meatpacking District.
