Cant wait till his November release of Los Abrasos Rotos? No worries he recently released his first short film in 25 years La Concejala antropófaga (The Cannibalistic Councilwoman)

"a Concejala was shot during the filming the upcoming Los Abrazos rotos which stars his muse Penelope Cruz, who is also in the short in a brief cameo so as to give the short some context in relation to Abrazos.  Also starring are Marta Aledo and Carmen Machi.  The idea for the short came as a result of Almodovar’s fascination with Carmen Machi’s character, Chon.  She has only a brief role in Los Abrazos rotos, but Almodovar felt that her character needed some expanding outside of the plot of the film."

GET WASTED save the planet: Heineken re-useable Bottles, drink up and build something pretty


Posted: March 17th, 2009 | Author: raven burgos | Filed under: Craft, Food and Drink, Supplies, Travel, Weblogs, recycle, reuse | Tags: , , , , , , , , | 1 Comment »

These Darlings can be used as bricks to build structures

Mr. Heineken’s idea came after a visit to the Caribbean where he saw
two problems: beaches littered with bottles and a lack of affordable
building materials. The WOBO became his vision to solve both the
recycling and housing challenges that he had witnessed on the islands.

The final WOBO design came in two sizes – 350 and 500 mm versions
that were meant to lay horizontally, interlock and layout in the same
manner as ‘brick and mortar’ construction. One production run in 1963
yielded 100,000 bottles some of which were used to build a small shed
on Mr. Heineken’s estate in Noordwijk, Netherlands. One of the
construction challenges “was to find a way in which corners and
openings could be made without cutting bottles,” said Mr. Habraken.

Despite the success of the first “world bottle” project, the
Heineken brewery didn’t support the WOBO and the idea stalled. Interest
was reignited in 1975 when Martin Pawley published Garbage Housing
which included the chapter ‘WOBO: a new kind of message in a bottle.’
Heineken once again approached Habraken who teamed up with designer
Rinus van den Berg and designed a building with oil drums for columns,
Volkswagen bus tops for roof and the WOBO bottles for walls, but the
structure was never built.

Today, the shed at the Heineken estate and a wall made of WOBO at
the Heineken Museum in Amsterdam are the only structures where the
‘beer brick’ was used. As to the remaining WOBO’s it’s not clear how
many exist, or where, but the idea, even some four decades later,
remains a lasting example in end-use innovation.

Breast milk VS Cow milk in CUPCAKES!!!!: Vice staff does it to a hipster so you dont have to


Posted: March 4th, 2009 | Author: raven burgos | Filed under: Brooklyn, Craft, Current Affairs, DIY, Food and Drink, childhood | Tags: , , , , , | No Comments »


Breast_milk_cupcakes

I enjoy watching women breastfeed, bring it on. Pro tits and all. I cannot get down with breatmilk in my cupcakes its fucked up and it was only natural that VICE magazine would bring the world this delish experiment

"In case you’re still dubious towards imbibing of le
lait teton, we forced our friend Patrick to do a taste test:
Breast-milk cupcakes vs. some regular old cow-milk cupcakes. He was
hesitant, but we were like, “Suck it up, wimp!” And we went on, “Don’t
you think it’s weird that humans are the only mammals who still drink
milk as adults? And not even our own, but baby fluid for a whole other
species? Did you ever think about the fact that we’ve mutated our own
stomachs in order to be able to digest bovine baby fluid, Four-Eyes?”

And
then Patrick went, “Let’s eat these cupcakes, by Christ!” After quietly
chewing for a few minutes, he whispered, “I… I can’t tell any
difference at all.” But we said, “No, you have to choose one.” So he
held up the cupcake in his right hand and said, “This one is vaguely
tastier.” And guess what, it was the boobcake! Breast milk officially
wins!
