The Coolhunter always aggregates the BEST examples of playspaces. I can imagine kids going crazy for any of the spaces they showed on the July 16 post. And a great point they bring up to: our communities should invest in artistic, interesting, compelling and appropriate community playspaces – we spend mucho dinero on adult playgrounds – so should we for our children. 

Just going thru some of our material over here and reveling at the beautiful kids photographs by local photog Christopher Auger-Dominguez from Studio 4B. He shot our Superhero event last year and sends us updates of his amazing kids work. Always creative and interesting, his work is currently being shown at the NoMa group Photo Exhibit "Economy" at The City College of New York's Compton-Goethals Gallery (Amsterdam Ave btwn 139th and 140th.) It ends tomorrow and with the forecast of rain, it might be a fun indoor activity. If you miss it check out his work at Studiofourb.com.

  That rabbit hat is to die for!

I was really stoked reading in Design Sponge this morning that creative arts cafe Moomah was moving into the hood. The pics on DS look Amazing – a really well designed, fun, whimsical space to indulge in creativity and get a nutritious snack. Check out on DS here and Moomah's website here.  This will be a great addition to Tribeca!

This little piggy went nowhere. If you don't study the place you are pitching the piggies won't fly.

We're super stoked here at Babesta as our shipment of Rocker Princess tutus have arrived. In black and purple, black and pink, lavender and fuschia. They're $32, and are at their best paired with a Cinderella tee or a stones concert shirt. Get out your lighters & your finger sandwiches. This is high-low at its best. www.babesta.com

This cool drawing kit was shown at the Philips Simplicity event in London.It takes the Painting with Light Shopping Mall art to the literal. Your kids can use the Philips kit to draw all over the walls (or any surface) with no messy clean up. We can't wait to get our hands on this one!

A bling-y tribute to that nutty yellow sponge who lives in a pineapple under the sea. Fabulous!

Via popbytes –  Heidi Klum can do it all – preggers with her 4th yet flat tummied and glittering as a blonde ambition series Barbie. She def sets the bar high for multitaskers..

 

Back in the day, i used to swear by heels. But becoming a mom sort of changes that. It's hard to wear vertiginous pumps with a baby strapped to your front. With kids, there are some lifestyle changes, yes, but when i go out I still favor as high a heel as i can find. 

Apparently, according to Boing Boing (and researchers at University "Gabriele d'Annunzio" in Chieti,Italy, people are more apt to respond affirmatively if you direct your query to their right ears. After a series of studies, using clubbers in a noisy bar as test subjects, with the objective of bumming the most things-that-your-children-will-never-smoke-but-labbits-do, the right ear won.
