An addendum to yesterday’s post about the dollhouse furniture of Japanese miniaturist Kiyomi.
Namely, her insanely tiny model patisserie.

Behold: the McLaren 720S Spider – differing from its hardtop stablemate by way of a retractable glass panel roof that changes from clear to opaque at the touch of a button.
To offset the extra weight, the alloy wheels have been lightened and the rear spoiler recalibrated to adjust the relative aerodynamics when the roof is open or closed.
Yours for a mere €278,000.
Unless the aggressively finned Novitec 720S is more to your taste.
One of 14 pedestrian crossing lights subtly altered on Konstitucijos Street in Vilnius to celebrate the centenary of voting rights for Lithuanian women.
Like many other European countries, Lithuanian women earn 14 percent less than their male colleagues [and hold only 17 percent of executive positions]

Behold: the Aston Martin Cassette Electric Powertrain Concept – an all-electric (and completely reversible) conversion of the 1970 DB6 MkII Volante – a vision of how classic cars can be converted to zero emissions without compromising any of their original character (beyond the engine noise and emissions, obviously).
Behold: the Runge RS – a new hand-built creation from British auto maker Chris Runge.
Inspired by the curvaceous, louvred racing Porsches and Listers of the 1950s, the RS features a leather-trimmed, classic bucket-seated cockpit, an aluminium skin and tubular sub frame with power from a 159bhp flat four engine.
Behold: the Koenigsegg Naked Carbon Regera – a Grand Touring version of the maker’s stripped down track cars – tricked out with a luxurious sound-deadening interior and multiple creature comforts but still – thanks to a hybrid ICE/electric powertrain, direct transmission and a staggering 1,800bhp – one of the world’s most ferocious hypercars.
The exterior is finished in hand-sanded, polished raw carbon fibre that exposes the weave and makes it especially resistant to chips and scratches on the road.
Price yet to be announced but certainly higher than the original Regera’s €1.93 million.
Before and after Japan-level dog grooming by Grace Chon – also available as a delightful coiffey table book.
Coiffey.
Ah forget it.
Conceptual ‘sculptures’ by London based creative agency Rosie Lee For Nike’s Air Max (a design originally inspired by a visit to the Pompidou Centre in Paris during the 80s by Nike designer Tinker Hatfield).
Two other homages (to the Air Max 90 and Air Max 95) are, variously, nods to the culture of record crate diggers (early adopters of the 90) and the anatomy of the foot, which inspired designer Sergio Lozano to create the Air Max 95
Line By Line Posters – film stills and portraits painstakingly picked out, pointillist style, in the positive and negative space of hand-written music lyrics and movie dialogue related to the subject by artist Mike Matola.
Each piece requires up to 80 hours work. My Neighbour Totoro (in blue, above) – featuring the entire movie script written out in Japanese – took six months to complete.
