PLATFORM SONG OF THE WEEK::IGGY POP "TONIGHT"

Photobucket

A softer Iggy Pop sings the melodic track, "Tonight", off his Lust For Life album (1977).

PLATFORM CROSS COUNTRY::SASQUATCH AND MORE...

Photobucket

We are so psyched about Sasquatch Music Festival next week. We arrive in San Francisco on Wednesday and will be trekking up through Portland heading towards The Gorge in Quincy, WA, where the festival will take place. We will report from the road on various finds and locales that peak our interest and hopefully yours. Plus, we hear that Portland doesn’t tax on clothes, so we might just go a little crazy, especially after the expected margaritas we plan on drinking while we’re on the road.

Keep on checking back for more Platform reporting!

VOGUE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, ANNA WINTOUR ON 60 MINUTES THIS SUNDAY

Photobucket

The bobble head bobbed matriarch of Vogue, Editor-in-Chief, Anna Wintour, will have a whole 60 Minutes devoted to her come this Sunday, May 17th at 7p on CBS. Aside from discussing the ins and outs of running the high profile magazine, a lot of personal anecdotes are to be expected out of the piece, including: why she wears sunglasses indoors (boredom and protection), what she loves about fashion, and snippets of her notorious intimidation tactics with her staff. This will have us replaying parts on YouTube for at least a week.

Platform Readers,

Sorry for the lack of postings this week. We were having some issues with our attempts to login at various points, completely denying us of sharing crucial, life-determining information with you. Anyhow, we're back in business and we'll continue to post as usual.

In the meantime, look at this funny face we found when we Googled "angry".

Thanks for your patience.

THE MUST-HAVE WALLET BY MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA

Photobucket

For those who argue this glorious little wallet is for men only, we beg to differ. Sure, this may not hold our multitude of store credit only cards or the membership cards we opened at various movie rental places and never actually used, but it’s still pretty fantastic. Designed by Maison Martin Margiela, the leather embossed wallet has a rope closure and comes in one shade, beige.

MEET AT THE APARTMENT, NYC

Photobucket

For many people starting their own business, know that it’s difficult to find the space and money to host business meetings, events, or small conferences that suit your needs; unless you’re into cold box rooms with fluorescent lighting and stale smells.

But for the rest of us, we can all MEET at the Apartment.

Created by Marc and Sara Schiller of Electric Artists and Wooster Collective, MEET is a lush interior with ornate furnishings where people can create, hold meetings, or hang out and work.

“From creativity springs breakthrough ideas. We’ve torn down the beige walls and big conference room tables and replaced them with settings that are designed to inspire. Whether you have a need to brainstorm with your team, pitch an idea to a potential client, launch a new product or host a high-level corporate board meeting, Meet is optimized for success.”
