SHARKS x NEW ERA

THE AUGER'S favorite animal is the shark and it doesn't hurt that that's my hometown team. We ordered this New Era 39THIRTY fitted cap and he absolutely does not leave home without it - that and his "SHOOM KEE KEE" (translation: fish blankie). There's a slight stretch for extra comfort. The back four panels are made with soft breathable polyester mesh. The front panels are made of 100% cotton. The team's logo is on the back.

I Absolutely and Completely Adore Charlie and Lola

Just found this game and t-shirt on www.charlieandlola.com. Too cute!

KAWS x Spongebob Squarepants

I was tuning in to Spongebob before THE AUGER was born and I'll have to say I'm more of a fan than he is. World famous graffiti artist KAWS posted this on his blog at the beginning of the month. Enjoy.

Book of the Day: Turntable Timmy

THE AUGER and THE WHOA-WAH can't keep their hands off of big bro LIL C's turntables and I knew they'd love this book. Written by award-winning children's book author Michael Perry and legendary artist Doug Cunningham (of Morning Breath, Inc.), Turntable Timmy is the story of a boy determined to becoming the world's youngest turntable DJ champion. Parents are sure to love the message of persistence: Hard work and dedication—perfection takes practice, now he's quick like a fox, sharp as a cactus. Kids will love the dope rhymes and illustrations!

The book also comes with a rap-along CD, featuring three tracks, by world-renowned turntablist DJ Qbert. Check out the Turntable Timmy t-shirt (shown below in Navy and Lavendar) from The Giant Peach. $20.

Realer than Reals

These plastic toys, I'd allow. THE AUGER and I love the Play Wonder brand of toys at Target. He has the kitchen, the market, cash register, microwave, picnic bench and some cute as hell, all wooden food play sets. Play Wonder always comes out with thoughtful, quality crafted toys and these are no exception (I can't wait to see what they have coming out next). Here are some new, very realistic looking, kitchen and tool toys available in stores and online. They'd be perfect additions to his toy collection but we're kinda running out of room over here...

Halo x McFarlane

MR BITE AND GRRR and 'LIL C and THE HUSBAND spend many a weekends on the couch battling it out on Halo and these figures are sure to be a big hit in our home (our walls are decorated with hanging NIB action figures). These Halo figures are slated to arrive in stores during the second week of March 2008. The lineup consists of Master Chief, Cortana, Brute Chieftain, Jackal Sniper as well as three vehicles: Warthog, Ghost and Brute Chopper. Some chores are definitely gonna get done for these!

WTF

Quite a sad sight, I know. Who burns chicken nuggets? Sigh. I still have dinner to redeem myself.

7-11 Snack Attack

These chips are hella good!!! Thin, crispy and spicy... and fattening, but hella good. I can't resist anything spicy. Try 'em out if you see them. They're not available everywhere.

M.A.C. x Fafi

Adidas, LeSportsac and now M.A.C. French graffiti artist Fafi has created three new characters for M.A.C.: Eriko, Monoka and Ermine, along with a complete makeup collection consisting of compact powders, mascaras, lipsticks, glosses, paint pots...). The collection will be available at M.A.C counters in the United States on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2008. Fafi will be in NYC on February 13 at Bendal's for the release.

I've always been a fan of Fafi and it's been fun to watch her grow over the years. Actually, grow might be an understatement. In the past few years Fafi has been blowing up! Not only has she gained recognition in the U.S., but WORLDWIDE, for her Fafinettes of the Carmine Vault. Now that she's a mother, I'm hoping that she'll come up with some dope shit for children. Nevertheless, you can be certain that her future endeavors will keep getting bigger and better. Much respect to Fafi!

Below are some more photos of the collection along with the three new Fafinettes.
