Designer Jean Paul Gaultier once said, rather famously, “It’s always the badly dressed people who are the most interesting.” Here, a style gallery that begs to differ, filled with artists, eccentrics, beatniks, showgirls, gypsies, hipsters -- and one very dapper man of the cloth.
The Port Authority can't even get one building in the air, while the South Koreans erect a whole new world with ease. Amidst delays and bloated budgets, Christopher Ward, executive director of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, wrote that "The schedule and cost estimates of the rebuilding effort that have been communicated to the public are not realistic," which means the city will not hit their desired deadline of 2011, the10th anniversary of 9/11.

Meanwhile, on the other edge of the world, South Korea has designed and begun construction of an entirely new high-tech city they hope will reinvigorate the country's sagging economy.
Global warming is in full effect, because even Sigur Ros no longer sounds glacial, and when experimental Icelandic bands are starting to melt, you know we're doomed. Soaring strings and glockenspiels have replaced been by what sounds like an acoustic guitars, and lead singer Jónsi' seems to have replaced his cello bow with his own fingers when playing the guitar. Their new album will be released on June 24, and like the other ones, you’ll just have to refer to it as “the new Sigur Ros album.” Its actual name is Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, which according to an Icelandic to English online translator, comes out to something like “Pectoral Fin Via Playback Eternally”. In a stunning reveal as to how shabby these online language converters are, Sigur Ros translates the album as “With a Buzz in Our Ears We Play Endlessly.”
