CB2 x Fred Segal Debut New Fantastic Furniture Collaboration Today

In the interior design world, we freely admit that inspiration for home trends often comes from fashion. That there is a strong relationship between the two industries is obvious when you think about it. Style-conscious people want equally stylish homes. Collaborations between fashion designers and furniture companies is nothing new. But when celebrity-favorite, laid back LA fashion hot spot Fred Segal decided to branch out into home decor – something truly special was created. Partnering up with CB2, a whole new collection has been created and it’s exactly what your home has been craving.

Launching this month, the CB2 x Fred Segal line beautifully blends the relaxed California vibe of Fred Segal with the thoughtful nod to mid-century modern we all know and love from CB2. The collection has everything your home could need, right down to a stylish tape dispenser. Each piece in the collection is such a beautiful, seamless blend of both companies, you wonder why they didn’t join up sooner.

A trend setter in fashion, Fred Segal keeps it up with this new line for the home. They kept the classic, modern-lined furniture CB2 is known for and redesigned it with today’s hottest materials and finishes, like the Silas Barstool which features a woven natural rattan seat. The collection also shows us that what’s old is new again with the Acrylic Coffee Table with Storage – a beautifully simple wood storage box that sits inside of an acrylic frame. Acrylic was hot in the 60’s and it’s made a big comeback in 2017.

Brass is also big this year and this CB2 x Fred Segal collaboration shows us why. With it’s deep hue and rich shine, brass is a perfect accent metal for a sophisticated masculine look. This line features a complete office set all in solid brass. From the aforementioned tape dispenser to a letter box and even a pair of rulers, the set has everything you need for a sleek and stylish office space.

Of course no Fred Segal home decor line would be complete without a few whimsical pieces and this line delivers. From the Pop Art Mirror shaped like a rainbow to the Fresh Cut Side Table with a pineapple-shaped base to the surprisingly elegant Ocean Palm Floor Lamp with globe lights that resemble coconuts – these pieces bring a California surfer vibe to the collection. Neon lights are still a big trend in home decor and Fred Segal’s motto “love one another” is represented in their white neon heart-shaped wall light.

The CB2 x Fred Segal collection is available starting August 3rd and can be found in CB2 stores or online at CB2.com.

The ECTO-Z makes its debut in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire.

Later this month, the Ghostbusters will be back on the big screen in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. And while three generations of the team are coming together, there is a big addition to the crew: The ECTO-Z. At an event in New York City, Mercedes-Benz officially unveiled the Ghostbusters' new ride, which is a customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter that follows in the footsteps of the iconic ECTO-1 from the first three films.

Given the larger size of the second and third-generation Ghostbusters team, it was only natural that they would need a vehicle that could carry all of them to the scene of a haunting anywhere in NYC. As for the name, it comes from original team member Dr. Winston Zeddemore, as played by Ernie Hudson. Ghostbusters: Afterlife established that Zeddemore is now the financial backer of the Ghostbusters and the de facto leader of the team.

Everything points to Apple TV+ making a change you’re not going to like
Is an ad-supported tier coming to Apple TV+?

It turns out that TV worked pretty well under its old model. According to a new report from Business Insider, Apple TV+ may be the latest streaming service that's set to introduce an ad-supported tier and charge those who don't stream with ads a premium fee to access their great shows and movies.

At this point, the report is still speculation, but Apple has made several recent hires in the advertising space that seem to suggest the direction they're planning to take. The company recently hired former NBCUniversal ad executive Joseph Cady to serve as executive vice president of advanced advertising and partnerships, a move that comes following the company's hiring of another former NBCUniversal executive, Jason Frum, who joined Apple's video ad sales team.

From Gilda Radner to Ali Wong, these are the best female comedians of all time
These women from all generations will make you laugh out loud
Ai Wong comedian 2017 Moontower comedy festival

Hot take: I don’t care for straight male comedians. It’s not that they’re not funny, they’re just … I don’t know, boring? Maybe that’s reductive of me, but I never seem to leave a straight male comedian’s set feeling particularly inspired. And though some may argue that it’s not important for a set to "inspire" its audience, I’d actually argue that the opposite is true. For me, I want to see a comedian use humor to address real issues and say real things about the world, even if they do it in a completely goofy way.

Therefore, I tend to prefer female and female-identified comedians. They’re sharp, tough, and have often seen shit that makes their comedy feel raw and true. Undoubtedly there are male comedians who do this, too, but to a much lesser degree, in my very humble and very personal opinion.
