MOBY, musician and inveterate Manhattan partygoer. "Seeing as it's essentially a Republican Inauguration, I think using Republican tactics makes the most sense, so try 1) lying, 2) cheating, 3) stealing and 4) a little dollop of good old-fashioned nepotism...
Sensing my mounting incredulity, and eager, like any parent, to prolong the length of their little boy's "innocence," my parents stooped to spectacular deceit on Christmas Day 1985.

Starck was one of the first to sense this with his translucent Brancusi-esque dollop of a toothbrush for Fluocaril in 1989. Now pharmaceutical companies have released a plethora of toothbrushes--ridged, twisted, tapered, with bands, dots and swirls. The same philosophy applies to dozens of products we used to regard as banal--garbage cans, toilet brushes and cheese graters. They're cute, they're cheap and they...
