The Sweatsuit Statement
By Staff, The Grey Sweatsuit Revolution.com
Fashion is an endless cycle of appropriation. Say ironic artists begin to wear trucker hats. Fashion steals the idea, and soon there's a sea of trucker hats for no apparent reason. A stupid cycle indeed, but alas, what's to be done? Two Canadians, Simon Wilkinson and Jeremy Stewart, have an answer: wear a gray sweatsuit as much as you can. Refuse to change with the seasons, and eventually fashion will close in on itself. The only downside: no pockets. -- Alyssa Ford

Learning to Weed
By Staff, Just a Plant.com
A new children's book explains marijuana, the drug war, and why pot smoking is an activity for responsible adults only. Ricardo Cort?s, the director of the New York-based art collective Magic Propaganda Mill, wrote and illustrated the 48-page hardcover book to give parents a tool to explain the issue before the DEA, the kids on the playground or the drug manufacturers weigh in. -- Alyssa Ford
