Sleek, minimalist, and simple are the buzz words for Japan's new take on Capsule Hotels
How cool is this! 9 Hours is a Japanese hotel with a difference. The hotel creators have taken an entirely new approach to the capsule hotel industry, in step with the needs of a modern society streaming with business men and travelers on-the-go. Of course, after a tiring day and long day, these vagabonds need a resting place that is simple and hassle-free. Hence, a hotel with aesthetic qualities as simple and efficient as the service.

When LA closed down one of its major freeways in mid-July, many Los Angelenos were–in this order– freaked out, surprised, relieved and ecstatic about how nice it was to face the city traffic-less.
For those of us still suffering Carmageddon-withdrawals, check out Ross Ching, who also directed the Harry Shum, Jr. short 3 Minutes, re-imagining LA Running on Empty (of cars, that is).

It’s eerie, peaceful and beautiful all at once.
Olivia’s Spring covershoot was just as fun as the celeb herself. From singing Disney tunes in the dressing room to dancing to 90′s hip hop, Munn kept our spirits up with her endless streams of LOL quips. The photos are gorgeous (as you already saw) but the video’s even more awesome! (Cause Olivia talks and moves and her hair blows in the wind and stuff) Check it out below:

We told you about Margaret Cho’s new album Cho Dependent in our Fall 2010 issue. Now she’s just released her latest video, “Lice,” featuring Ben Lee. This is what Cho says about the icky-titled song:
“I wrote this song with Ben Lee who I absolutely worship. He helped me so much with the album and I can never thank him enough. He send me the instrumental when I was in Morocco last year, and recovering from a rather mild case of head lice. I didn’t know what the song was yet, but then I thought, write what you know. I know about head lice. I love how the song came out, and Jack Rudy’s harmonica is a perfect punchline. Thanks to Kevin Avery as the louse!!” — Margaret Cho
