'Cuz it's expensive hanging with Kanye West

If there's anything we know about Kanye West, it's that dude knows what he wants: for starters, the MTV awards and glowing (in the dark, perchance?) concert reviews he feels are his due. So it shouldn't be surprising Yeezy's also got some rather particular – and rather expensive – taste in fashion, clothing, art, and design. I mean, he did get pop artist and one-man industry Takashi Murakami to design his last album cover, right? They don't call him the Louis Vuitton Don for nothing, right?

And so to that end: Kanye's blog. It's a consistently updated tour of things largely awesome in the world of design. Occupying the front page right now are a funny/terrifying series of models with animals styled into their hair by Nagi Noda (another Japanese popster), an exceedingly clean-lined mid-century modern (right, Cindy?) house by Mexican architechts K&A Diseño, and the upholsted fiberglasss Eudora chair. So you haters can rest easy that Mr. West's contribution to design didn't begin and end with those damn Stronger glasses. (Although you might be able to afford a pair of those.)
