I love the Land of Nod. I don't need a passport, or even bedtime, just a few too many carbs at any time of the day.

Slashed Army T-Shirt

From the site:

Go for stylishly dishevelled (sic) cool in Balmain's olive green distressed detail cotton t-shirt. Work the runway look by teaming this statement staple with cargo pants and ankle boots for a luxe spin on utility chic.

$1,625

Uh, I'll make you a t-shirt like this for ten bucks, five if you supply the shirt.

The (sic) was added because it's spelled "disheveled". You'd think that for $1625 they could afford a proofreader.

From the NASA Image of the Day Gallery



Space shuttle Discovery's engines ignited at 6:21 a.m. EDT Monday, April 5, for liftoff of the STS-131 mission from Launch Pad 39A at NASA's Kennedy Space Center. The seven-member crew will deliver the multi-purpose logistics module Leonardo, filled with supplies, a new crew sleeping quarters and science racks that will be transferred to the International Space Station's laboratories. The crew also will switch out a gyroscope on the station’s truss, install a spare ammonia storage tank and retrieve a Japanese experiment from the station’s exterior. STS-131 is the 33rd shuttle mission to the station and the 131st shuttle mission.
