When you have a genetic disease, a mental disorder, or a physical handicap, every day things to you and me become more of a struggle for them. Eager to break down those barriers, starting with clothes, one fashion designer is changing that.
The Tel Aviv Nightclub Where Israelis and Palestinians Dance Together
In addition to founding his own own label, Malka Tuti, in June, Asaf Samuel has recently become a resident and creative member of Tel Aviv’s most important club, The Block—located in the basement of a bus station in the center of the city, and home to programming aiming to bring Israelis and Palestinians together on the dance floor.
In your club TAHAT you regularly host events featuring Arabian electronic music. How present is the conflict between Israel and Palestine in your everyday life?
First of all, that’s like my favorite genre—the slower the better! We do believe that everything we do can make a difference. We can break another brick from this “wall of hate” that our governments are building. Bringing Israeli and Arabic people together and letting them dance to Arabic music in an Israeli club literally lets you feel how something is changing right before your eyes. Maybe it’s happening slowly and subliminally, but it’s happening. Tel Aviv might be some kind of a bubble, but I think that it could be more influential than it seems.

This Vincent Van Gogh Plush Toy Is So Perfect, It Has A Detachable Ear
The Unemployed Philosophers Guild sells plush Little Thinkers dolls, and their Vincent Van Gogh comes with a special feature: it has a detachable left ear that you can gift your significant other, just like Van Gogh did. You can send it to someone you love, instead of a simple email or hug. Vincent stands 11 inches tall, wearing jacket and pants, tie, and holding a paintbrush. I love this for a variety of reasons, but most of all, his intense facial expression suggests the turmoil inside the troubled painter. I have to admit this is uncommon for a doll, but Van Gogh himself marched to different drummer so it captures his spirit pretty well.
Dog-Shaped Earplugs Are The Hearing Protection You Want And Need
Japanese designer Mao Yamamoto has the answer t those who want to wear ear plugs, but show off your love of animals at the same time. I know, few would ever think of this before, but here we are.
The accessories named Mimi Pet Earplugs belong to the brand “+d” and they work like regular earplugs, but when plugged into ears, they also create an illusion of long bodies, so they look like actual dachshunds!
You can get your safe-keeping for your ears here for 1,296 yen (about 11.30 US dollars).

Whether for music releases, tour announcements, fan engagement initiatives or anything in between, Canada’s independent community knows how to turn heads and command attention for its artists, whether budgets and teams are large or small. This award acknowledges the marketing power, creativity and inventive fire of our indies.
Watch Adele’s First Interview On Video In 2007
This interview with Adele was recorded in the back of an Airstream caravan as part of Pete Townshend’s In The Attic series of webcasts, which were usually made around the time of a Who show. She was a featured guest on May 29, 2007 when she was just starting out and was just working on her first album. Townshend’s partner, the musician Rachel Fuller, plays the Host, and nobody expected Adele’s debut album, 19, to start her record-breaking career the way it’s turned out to be.
