The BritList: Cats Wearing Kimonos, Leggy Tables and More
And all of a sudden, it’s the middle of July. You know what else? Our flagship event Re:Make is less than two months away!! For real. How did that happen?! If you’ll be in San Francisco September 11-12, you best come over to Fort Mason to say hello. Head here for all the deets. Now, to the randomness at hand.
1. Cats Wearing Kimonos: Cats are finally wearing kimonos, and you can finally get a good night’s sleep.
2. Leggy Tables: We’re on the fence about these tables. There’s something badass and #girlboss about them, and then there’s also something totally sexist about them. Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Big Picture Farm in Vermont, this trucker hat is a summer weekend must-have, and will definitely protect your gorgeous visage from sunburn ;)
“Sunburnt” Portraits
Speaking of which, how crazy are these portraits? Dreamed up and created by French artist Thomas Mailaender, there’s no Photoshop magic at work here. The artist applies a negative to a model’s skin, then projects a powerful UV lamp over them. The result is a fleeting picture on the skin’s surface, which is photographed just moments before the exposure to daylight causes them to disappear. Super cool.
5. Cats Glasses ($20 for 4): Your happy hour just got a whole heck of a lot cuter.
