[BITCH-SPIRATION] I Hate Everyone On The Subway

You guys have "inspiration boards" and mood boards," but that ain't my thang. Here at Design Blahg, we've got "Bitch-spiration boards." Here's what I'm bitch-spired by today: I FUCKING HATE EVERYONE ON THE SUBWAY.

If you live in NYC and you're not Mr. Big, you ride the subway. And if you ride the subway with any sort of frequency, you run into a whole hell of a lot of subway douchery.

While "expect the unexpected" is certainly the motto of any NYC commuter, there *is* some shit that you know you can count on (I'm looking at you teenaged hip hop troupe).

So yeah: If you have any aspirations to be a subway douche, here's all the shit you'll need to get started!

[WHERE I BLAHG]: Design Milk

Each week we'll pull back the curtain, and give you an insider's look into the lives of some of your favorite bloggers with 'Here's where I blahg.' This week: Jaime from Design Milk.

I'm guessing everyone is verrrry familiar with Design Milk already, because HELLOOOOO?? If you care at ALL about modern design, like me, you're already reading that shit e-ve-r-y d-a-y and twice on Sunday (and by "shit," of course we mean GOOD SHIT). Design Milk is one of the OG design blogs, and they cover it all: fashion, architecture, technology, interiors. Also sometimes Jaime hosts HGTV Design Star Twitter parties and those are hella FUN!

[Round-Up] Urban Picnic

The Fourth of July is upon us, and if you're going to be stuck in the city while people who are richer and prettier than you frolick on beaches and live out their holiday weekend like a Sag Harbor ad, don't resign yourself to some shitty barbeque with charred hot dogs and overcooked burgers.  Don't let yourself believe that the only time you'll spend outside is the few brief moments that you're on your fire escape right before you jump off.     

We've put together a round-up of cool picnic and BBQ accessories (or, acoutrements, if you will) that will help you make your urban picnic so successful that those jerks out in the Hamptons will be green with envy.  Who needs a beach house when you've got a crowded public park swarming with the dregs of society and a collapsible grill?  Am I right?  Am I right?

[COOL SHIT] The Floor, On The Ceiling

Sure you could put the floor on the floor, but why the fuck would you want to do that when you can just as well put the floor on the ceiling?? It looks amazeballs...trust. In fact, don't ask, don't tell, just click (via Apartment Therapy).
