The Kite Runner Auction, Charity of the Day

Filed under: Auctions, Celebrity Shopping, Charity, Charity of the Day


The Kite Runner hits movie theaters this Friday, and through an auction on eBay you can not only have your own little piece of the film but also help support the Afghanistan Relief Organization. Bid on kites with celebrity signatures on the tails like Reese Witherspoon, Angelina Jolie, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Will Ferrell, and bid on once-in-a-lifetime experiences like a trip to the set of James Bond, dinner with the author of The Kite Runner (Khaled Hosseini), and the naming of a character in one of his future works. The auction only runs through the 15th, which is this Saturday, so you better get a move on if you want to participate.

Kitano Kite Sailing Yacht

Filed under: Yachts & Sailing, Green


Now here's a yacht that will catch an eye or two, plus blow your hair back and give you a thrill. Not to oversimplify things, but it's basically a yacht with a kite instead of a sail. The kite principle takes advantage of the greater and more consistent wind speeds found at higher altitudes, raising the boat to planing speeds and making sailing in the shallows and littorals a realistic option.

And on top of everything else the Kitano Kite Sailing Yacht is environmentally-friendly, so us "greenies" can indulge our love of the water guilt free.

Lund, by Dot Kite Lab and Thomas Mylonas

Filed under: Decor


Dot Kite Lab has an array of modern designs, but their latest furniture creation is Lund, a contemporary seating element somewhere between a chair and a sofa. Designer Thomas Mylonas combined clean lines, organic forms, and perfect proportions to create a nice feeling I would describe as casual modern luxury. It's upholstered in high-quality fabric in a pale but sophisticated pattern, and the seat backs (adjustable?) are complete with head rests reminiscent of an automobile (in a good way). Definitely a unique look, and for some reason I'm really curious if it's firm, or springy, to sit on?



Thanks Thomas!
