AK47 Paper Gun Kit


Looking for a gift for the guy that has everything? Well chances are, he doesn't have this. This is a new art project created by the designer Martin Postler. "He has freed the AK-47 from its terrible capacity to injure and kill by deconstructing it into a paper model construction set. When putting the detailed model together, the builder is automatically confronted with the Kalashnikov and its significance – both historical and personal."

I couldn't have said it better myself. Ultimately, this AK-47 remains a piece of paper, and thankfully at that.

Diesel Zatiny 8RQ


So skinny jeans have been in fashion for a while now... yes, even for guys. However, it seems like only the rockers and emo types can pull it off real well. For everyone else, the standard bootcut is still the most flattering fit. Well, if you're still loving the bootcut, but want to go just a touch skinnier, check out Diesel's Zatiny cut. Based on the most popular Zathan cut, the Zatiny is almost the same, but with a slightly narrower leg opening. Still looks great, and might be the stepping stone you need to hop on over to the skinny side.

$190 CAD, from S|SENSE.
