  “Cool hunting” once dominated the marketing industry, who’s sole purpose was to predict emerging trends and quantify declining ones. Challenge? Find the next “thing”, stay on ahead of trends, align your brand with the early adapters and attain that every changing badge of “cool”. (Sheesh, the industry takes itself too seriously sometimes.

  If you want your eco-friendliness to continue into the afterlife, don’t be duped into buying one of these so-called “environmentally sympathetic” coffins.

  Everything’s going freakin green these days. However some things, you’d have to think, would be given a pass, like things/events that celebrate decadence or violence.

  Go to la Paz, for the ones who missed their geography classes Baja California Sur, for the ones who didn’t take Spanish as a second language, south low California.

  Pick an isolated island to perpetrate your crime.
  Plunge your two feet in a transparent blue lagoon-like water. A sombrero planted on your head to prevent from the […]
