“I got my first watch a few weeks ago. It’s a Casio retrofitted with a three-color band: red, white, and black. People often mistake the black for blue and assume I’m repping the French tricolor on my wrist. Once they realize the actual color scheme, they think it’s either Thom Browne or, very occasionally, the striped flag of Yemen. I go with Yemen because its flag is one of the few that references the concept of time: The red stands for the bloodshed of martyrs, the white for a bright future, and the black for the dark past. Past and future in a flag — perfect for a watchband, no?”
Side Note: The new Vampire Weekend album is great. Weird, confident, and great.

…and that was the last time Dangerghost ever had money again.
Whoever envisioned this campaign of a half naked Irina Shayk for jeans, should get double their monthly salary.
At least double.
Actors Rupert Grint and Tom Felton (a.k.a. Ron Weasley and Draco Malfoy) are shedding their Potter personas in a new ad campaign for the Band of Outsiders clothing line, and Rolling Stone has the first look.
Shot by Band of Outsiders creative director Scott Sternberg, the Polaroid images show the actors, wearing selections from the line’s Fall 2011 collection, as they cause mischief in L.A.
For an exclusive peek at the campaign’s images – including a grainy shot of Grint flipping the camera the bird - head over to Rollingstone.com.

Grint needs to keep this going as much as he can. Either way, a smart choice for both lads. Who knew these two would be the ones to strike up the closest relationship out of the HP gang of actors?
