I love this shit. I've posted about "space-saving" apartment furnishings before and think I've posted about a similar apartment in Hong Kong (I believe?) that was just slightly larger, but here's a photographer's pad in Barcelona that fits everything into just 258 sq. feet. And it looks nice, too!
He's even managed to find space for his BIG BUTT (book) in the bathroom!
What were the criteria for choosing the winner, I wonder? I don't begrudge the judges the task of differentiating between THIRTY-TWO identical contestants choosing just one!
One item on my spring cleaning list this year? Throw out old ideas of trying to look exactly like bodies held up to me as ideals and strive to develop my own ideal body.
Posted by Hermker with the admonishment: "YOU'VE GOT IT, SHOW OFF!!!!!" which I take to be his/her version of "If you've got it, flaunt it!", a sentiment we here at FYF advocate whole-heartedly.

There are SO many things going on in this not-quite-safe-for-most-workplaces-in-America video/site promoting Calvin Klein Underwear's new X line of manties, not the least of which is Mehcad Brooks telling us he'll show us his if we show him ours!?!?
Then there's an option called "Augmented"?? Really?!?!
When out shopping, sometimes you don't really want to try on a pair of pants to check if they fit. Whether there is a line at the dressing room or you're simply in a hurry, you need a method to determine size quickly. Because sizing seems increasingly arbitrary, having a rule of thumb is all the more useful. (Really Rag & Bone, your construction is superb, but your sizing is batty.)
Shopping with a friend Sunday, the topic arose at A.P.C. The salesperson, a very sweet cute woman, suggested that waist could be guessed by putting the waist of the jeans from the elbow to a fisted hand. While my friend was in the dressing room, we discussed it further. "How can that possibly work? If you gain weight the length from elbow to fist doesn't change?" Then I showed her my method, which has never failed me.
Facing the waist of the jeans toward you, place the jeans over your neck where a tee shirt collar falls. If the waistline of the pant will not meet on the back of the neck, the pant will not fit. Similarly, if there is overlap at the back of the neck, the pants will be baggy. This method takes into account that if your weight fluctuates (say from a 31 in summer to a 33 in winter), the fat of your neck increases in size proportionally to the rest of your body, including the waist.
After trying with a few pair, we found that the neck method seemed to work. It also makes far more sense than the elbow-to-fist. Any other methods out there?
