What's hot right now.
50-CENT SEAT
Ever wondered what you were going to do with all the spare change between the cushions of your couch? Well, artist Johnny Swing has a solution. In fact, he's already created the Coin Chair just for you. It's the third in Swing's coin furniture series and a part of the legacy of furniture he's created with abstract materials (jars, leather discs and wheelbarrows, for example). Made from 1,500 half dollar coins, through a series of 7,000 welds, the Coin Chair is a luminescent, butterfly-shaped seat contoured for maximum comfort... or as much comfort as you can find in something made entirely of metal.

POOL PARTY
Picture yourself reclining on a motorized pool lounger, decked out in your favorite one-piece and gigantic Jackie-O sunglasses. Now, imagine having that relaxing chlorine-filled lounge session on your finger! Presented by Swiss watch mavens Swatch, the Pool Party Ring will brighten up your warmer-weather-loving hand while you're mingling over pia coladas in your sky-high espadrilles or bringing home the bacon, typing away at the office. The stainless-steel bauble, complete with diving board and ladder, will be sure to conjure nostalgic pool-party flashbacks - excluding the memories of bikini malfunctions that happened in front of hot boys, of course.

FLASH FORWARD
A laser light show of Pink Floyd proportions on your arm, Tokyoflashes are the coolest line of watches to hit the streets since the wrist-calculator. With an array of captivating light schemes that emanate though sleek metal casings, the watches represent hours through differentiating lights. For instance, in the Shinshoku design, the red lights signify the hours (one red light means it's one o'clock), the green lights signify a chunk of 15 minutes, and the orange lights signify single minutes. So when all is said and done, three reds, one green and two oranges means it's 3:17. Easy, right? Offering styles that range from the galactically cool e35 Geomesh to the Grand Theft Auto-inspired Pimp P2 Pusher, Tokyoflashes will fulfill all your flash-tastic desires. So go ahead, safely unleash your inner smooth operator. Tokyoflash.com GIA CASTELLANO

HAT TRICK
MILLINER VICTOR OSBORNE IS A HEAD ABOVE THE REST.
Photographed by ODETTE SUGERMAN
Long gone are the days when a woman wouldn't dream of leaving the house without a smart day hat secured to her perfectly coiffed head. Today's casual workplace has relegated women's hats to the extremes of functional cold-weather gear and ultra-luxurious cocktail and special-occasion creations. What kind of woman wears the latter, you ask? "Stylish, yet playful women who have plenty of what you need to carry off extreme fashion - confidence and an outgoing nature," says Victor Osborne, the 23-year-old Brooklyn-based milliner of the new order. "The kind of woman who walks into a room with an enormous, multicolored feather bomb on her head is not afraid to attract attention." JOSEPH UNGOCO

LASH OUT
WOMEN ARE GOING TO EXTREMES (AND PAYING THE PRICE) FOR GORGEOUS EYELASHES.
Photographed by JOANNE GAIR
How far would you go to get long, luscious eyelashes? What are you willing to pay? $500? $1,000? Four precious hours of your time? How about your ability to see? Lashes play a major supportive role in giving eyes their seductive and flirtatious impact, so it's no surprise that women go to great measures to achieve long, luscious lashes, which a simple stroke of Maybelline Great Lash cannot provide. Aside from gluing on temporary false lashes, women have turned to longer-lasting alternatives like lash conditioners and extensions. NICK BURNS

HERE TO ETERNITY
CLASSIC FILMS ARE BORN AGAIN DURING CINESPIA'S NIGHT SCREENINGS AT HOLLYWOOD FOREVER CEMETERY.
Cinespia creator John Wyatt rarely watches the classic films he has carefully selected to screen at L.A.'s Hollywood Forever Cemetery. He prefers to observe the audience of more than 500 locals who sprawl on blankets across the Fairbanks lawn, surrounded by the dark silhouettes of legendary headstones. "Most of our crowd is under 35, and they all watch TV, YouTube and big blockbuster Hollywood movies," Wyatt says. "But they're still riveted by these classic films. I can almost time what the crowd reaction is going to be in some of these screenings - like clockwork." ELI KOORIS

HAPPY TOGETHER
MARTHA WAINWRIGHT'S GORGEOUS NEW ALBUM IS A FAMILY AFFAIR.
"We can't have sex with our families, so the closest thing is to sing with them," says Martha Wainwright over tea at a Brooklyn café. The sister of pop icon Rufus Wainwright and daughter of troubadour Loudon Wainwright III and folk legend Kate McGarrigle, Martha has a musical pedigree infused with all the subtleties of an aria. Yet over the years, music has bandaged the wounds between her relatives as well. "Music heals. Many of the problems I've had with my family tend to go away when the singing starts."

DEAD RINGERS
ARTIST POLLY MORGAN'S TAXIDERMY CREATIONS COME TO LIFE BEFORE YOUR EYES.
The chief aviary surprise of artist Polly Morgan's expansive north London studio is not so much her collection of dead birds - there's one on her worktable, another positioned against the living room wall - as it is the two living ones, chirping to each other across her kitchen. "I never wanted to keep birds - I think it's cruel - but our friends had one of them, and he was being picked on by their other birds, and I decided it was okay to keep him since it was kind of a rescue mission," she says. The bird was lonely, though, and efforts to placate him failed until Morgan's sister gave him a much-needed companion - in the form of a small taxidermy bird. "My sister told me to put it in the cage with him and see what happened, and he really fell in love with it." DIANE VADINO

THE MYSTICAL EAST
ZINK EXPLORES A COUNTRY THAT FALLS AT BOTH THE TOP AND BOTTOM OF A WESTERN TRAVELER'S "MUST SEE" LIST.
In Indian city streets, cows make the rules, taking a rest wherever they like, their massive bodies blocking road traffic as motorbikes (with whole families sitting on the narrow seat) happily swerve around them. Sanitation is an evident problem, though people barely seem to notice that the streets are littered with layers upon layers of garbage. Bony cows and stray dogs - of which there are millions throughout the country - eat from garbage piles, and billows of thick black smoke spew out of antiquated tractor trailers that lean cockeyed to one side. Who knows what kind of danger the situation poses to the environment and to other drivers on the road. MARINA CASHDAN

GOING TO EAT THAT?
THE GREAT SPRAWLING LANDSCAPE OF LOS ANGELES OFFERS CULINARY TREATS AS DIVERSE AS ITS POPULATION. MIRIAM SCHIMMEL EATS HER WAY AROUND THE CITY OF ANGELS TO BRING YOU THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS.
Photographed by SIMONE LUECK
As an admitted ice-cream-aholic, having savored the sweet, cold concoction almost daily since age ten, I salivated in anticipation of trying the incredibly innovative flavors offered at the Silver Lake-adjacent joint Scoops. Owner Tai Kim attended both culinary school and art school, and then he decided that his creative talents could best be combined by concocting truly one-of-a-kind ice cream flavors. Case in point: flavors such as goat cheese basil, white chocolate sea salt (an amazing combination of sweet and salty), butterscotch Guinness, and brown bread (vanilla, caramel and Grape-Nuts... seriously yummy).

DRINK
AFTER A CENTURY OF OBSCURITY SURROUNDING ABSINTHE, WE WENT IN SEARCH OFTHE REAL THING.
Here's how it went down: In 1912, America banned sales of absinthe, and the notorious Green Fairy went into hiding. As the agency behind the ban, the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) singled out a compound called thujone as being responsible for sending absinthe drinkers stark raving mad.
