Pink is the new Black

WeWasteTime presents two new products, both plastic, pink and ready to conquer the market!

Barbie Architect, Mattel’s latest addition to their Barbie I Can Be line of dolls, complete with pink blueprint holder (an architect’s ideal colour), black glasses, pink ‘architecturally inspired dress showcasing a city skyline’ and trendy ankle boots that are combined with a helmet for maximum safety both in the construction site and in any unlevelled tough terrain and her ideal pink house model!

Barbie architect can be the perfect gift if combined with another product, colour matching and equally inventive: little dicky sipping straws,‘Skin Coloured Straws with Pink Willies on the Top (Bag of 10)’ (can be ordered here) (possibly not an ideal combination for underage tender souls)

For designing both of these products ‘real’ architects were consulted!

Bad Things That Could Happen

 

Bad Things That Could Happen is a great, funny, smart and witty film work of THIS IS IT a collective of illustrators, animators, artists and designers based in London. It is a self explanatory film that plays with scale and creates a subverted world where the mundane becomes absurd. The film was presented in Jaguar shoes in Shoreditch where the exhibition space was used to support the film, and give an insight into the process of making it. Personally, it totally makes my mood; I mean who can stay unemotional at the sight of a microbe party?

 

I like toilets. You?

pierpaolo ferrari described the project as a ‘mental outburst’
of shared ideas between the two collaborators’ passion / obsession. the result is a
fascinating collection of visual tableaux, though not for the squeamish.

DIY helmets

Amidst the stone rain Egyptian and Yemeni protesters seek to protect their heads with any material available: Foam, cardboard, plastic bottles and even bread, creating crazy and resourceful helmets. Inventiveness in such harsh conditions is truly admirable.
