Daily Street Art: Peeping Toms and NYC street art that's not from the Banksy exhibit
By Caitlin E. Curran
In Boston (Allston), who's watching whom?

Captured by mikeyallswell.

Not in Boston: Don't worry - it's not the oft discussed Banksy (who we personally find hilariously inventive, even though the fact that the dreaded Brangelina is now worshipping him makes us feel nauseous, but that's a discussion for another day) and his controversial exhibit at the Holasek Gallery in Chelsea

Daily Street Art: Yipes, Mr.Buildmore, and heavy thoughts from laser 3.14
By Caitlin E. Curran

In Boston:

Yipes + Mr.Buildmore flick by walknboston.

Not in Boston (works by laser 3.14 in Amsterdam, a frequent haunt on Daily Street Art. It's hard to avert our eyes from Amsterdam's awesomely awesome street art):

Excellent photos from a series by wojophoto.

Bindi Irwin Raps about Grizzly Bears; Has Gay Back-Up Enviro-Bitch Dancers
By Sharon Steel

Playing catch up on Jezebel, I caught this horrifying freakshow of Bindi Irwin rapping about the jungle book, grizzlies, and orangutans on Today. The fact that her mother let this happen makes me want to hurt someone. This girl needs a Degrassi marathon and some pants that aren't pedal-pushers. More importantly, therapy.

One man's hilarious quest to put a holiday (back) in its place
By Ian Sands

This made me laugh. Jim “Suldog” Sullivan of Watertown Mass is on a quest to stop Christmas from encroaching on Turkey Day’s turf. He’s tired of having to sit through all those ads for Christmas in November. Of the malls he frequents breaking out the Santa suits prematurely. Of the supermarket shelves he peers down boasting cookies decorated “in green and red sprinkles.

Re-usable packaging, ethanol, and day-old bakery goods

If only we'd know about these dudes in time to include them in our Green Heroes section.

O No
By Caitlin E. Curran

A tidal wave of stretchy, jersey cotton is overtaking the country as you read this? American nuns have opted for a more fashionable/comfortable version of the traditional habit? Here's what to do with curtains when you're done with them? The Disco Mom trend is official?

Nope, it's Orpah's annual "Favorite Things" episode, where she'll give away tons o' free crap to the lucky residents of Macon, Georgia (apparently 45% of the population there indulges in a daily O fix), and it's on in about 5 minutes.

Project Runway Is Happiness
By Sharon Steel
I'm late to the Project Runway Season 4 rehash game, but rest assured. I've already watched the debut twice (yes, twice) and I can say with a great deal of self-assurance that this is totally my favorite season so far. Not even A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila can top the happiness of Proj Run. Although it's fun to alternate Tila and PR marathons.

Street art photos of the day: MidEast Up art and some wursts
By Caitlin E. Curran
In Boston (Middle East Upstairs, Cambridge):

There we were, enjoying a UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen, and the experimental, post-rock sounds of the Amherst-based instrumental band Hadoken at the Middle East Upstairs, when we spotted something on the right, above the posters for Dirty Projectors and the Most Serene Republic: a massive green and black tag boldly splashed across the red wall.

Rudolph the panty-thief reindeer
By eldean

Holday cheer!

CBS is rolling out the super sexiest/weirdest Chistmas/Holiday(??) schedule ever (see below). A Ricky-Martin-meets-Rudolph-under-the-push-up-bra sort of thing...

A spinning spiral of pouty models, The Bumble, and The Island of Misfit Toys. Who looks better in faux fur? Who is Heidi? Who is Seal? Are they characters? Are they real? Are they Santa's TV elves? Haphazardly scheduled bring us holiday cheer and loathing.

Colbert: a video collection
By Ryan Stewart

This week in the Phoenix, David Bianculli discusses the uncanny ability of "Comedy Rambo" Stephen Colbert to mock both sides of American culture with equal recklessness. After the jump, some highlights from the article, as well as a few of our other favorites.

Colbert announces his run for the presidency:

Searching for Hidden Treasure in Gloucester
By Ian Sands

This past Saturday, I visited Gloucester, Massachusetts. While there, I didn’t duck into the Cape Ann Historical museum, didn’t check out the docks where the fishermen hang or any quant little art galleries. Instead, I searched with my friend for about 2.5 hours in the cold, armed with a little yellow and black GPS device, for a hidden treasure.

Street Style: Chilled, Cropped, Buttoned Up
By Sharon Steel

© Christine Atturio

A note from your street style correspondents: We vow to leave the Boston University safety net, find more well-dressed boys to shoot/stalk, and discover, for your and our personal edification, if anyone is actually wearing winter jackets yet. What's a "safe" date to bust out the puffer coat and not look like a jerk? P.
