Love: Josh Jakus
Unlike the Canon of Great Art, which is totally boring, the Canon of Great Design is as exciting as Helter Skelter, and I mean that. Great design is actually, literally as exciting as the song "Helter Skelter" by the Beatles. I don't doubt that in fifty years time, Josh Jakus will be the latest inductee to said Canon (which, for the record, probably includes some William Morris chairs or something, Anni Albers' paper clip necklace, the spaceship that went to the moon, and the Dyson vac). I also think that in fifty years every single bag will look like the Josh Jakus UM bag: backpacks, briefcases, suitcases, Judith Leiber sequined clutches, etc.
As per usuelle, nogoodforme.com is totally ahead of its time. Fifty years before UM bags become ubiquitous, we've already got one under our belts, and, because we're really amazing sweethearts, we're giving it to YOU, and then we're giving the money we make from giving it to YOU to the bereft animals of three entire urban metropoli!
Just clickery-dickery dock on the convenient little button sitting beneath this sentence, fork over two dollars, and you will probably win the Josh Jakus UM Clutch, or maybe ONE OF THESE THINGS or maybe ALL OF THESE THINGS! Whoa! I bet you'll totally sweep the raffle.
FURTHER PROOF THAT JOSH JAKUS IS A TOTAL GENIUS:

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot.

We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
