I PREDICT THEY SALE ALOTTA OF THESE

Apple downsizes its mid-range iPod, but upsizes the awesomeness. At about half the size and weight of its predecessor, the iPod Nano 6 ($149-$179) shrinks down and gets a new Multi-Touch display, a polished aluminum and glass enclosure with belt clip, and a built-in FM radio (with ability to pause and resume playing FM), a built-in pedometer, and support for Nike + iPod. Your choice 8GB or 16GB sizes in silver, graphite, blue, green, orange or pink.

SATIN VANS LOOKING AIGHT!

Beauty & Youth reestablishes their partnership with Vans this fall, for a four piece pack of satin Authentics. The plush sneakers will be available in burgundy, grey, navy and black – exclusively at Beauty & Youth doors in Japan.

When someone can take a medium that should seemingly be bereft of any artistic value and turn it into a work of art, I am not only impressed, but curious beyond belief.

And so I introduce to you Rubik’s Cube art by Space Invader; these masterpieces, which take references from pop culture and classic artistic works alike, are created with a meticulous eye, each cube being turned and managed so that every single square of color serves a purpose.

Doesn’t this just boggle your mind?

THESE KINDA FRESH!

YEAH!!! THIS WHAT IM TALKIN BOUT, I HOPE ALL THE HOTELS GET WITH THIS PROGRAM

The resorts have created an all-new vegan culinary program. The chefs at Wynn and Encore in Las Vegas have designed vegan dishes that highlight vegetables and contain no meat or dairy, instead using exotic grains and vegetables with coconut milk and vegetable purees to lend creaminess to risottos and sauces. Shown above is the tofu carpaccio at SWITCH restaurant, Encore Las Vegas.

Other dishes include fava bean puree with sauteed hon shimeji mushrooms, snap pea salad and aged balsamic vinegar at ALEX and the market chopped salad with avocado, carrots, celery, pumpkin seeds, edamame and tarragon vinaigrette at Society Cafe Encore. Other temping vegan delights include the summer vegetable gratin at Botero, risotto con verdure di stagione (risotto whipped with seasonal vegetables) at BARTOLOTTA Ristorante di Mare and Napoleon of savory tofu with ratatouille and fried eggplant at Tableau. The Country Club has a vegan version of their popular watermelon gazpacho with avocado, jicama, tomato, cucumber, cilantro and yucca crisp and STRATTA offers whole wheat pasta primavera. Even at SW, Wynn’s signature steakhouse, vegans will dine well on grilled royal trumpet mushrooms with creamy polenta and shallot balsamic sauce.

Wazuzu’s vegan crunch roll with crispy asparagus, avocado, cucumber and arare; Okada’s vegan cold soba noodle and Wing Lei’s crispy tofu with sugar pea, water chestnut, carrot and bean sprout feature flavorful Asian ingredients. Vegans aren’t left out at desserts with treats like blueberry cobbler with toasted almond ice cream at Sinatra and banana crepes with coconut ice cream and avocado mousse at SWITCH.
