@phoscarbueno w/ @marinariboot   VIDEO: All the Dogs, Explained Well, let’s see. You’ve got the kind middle-aged ladies carry in purses. Pretty sure those are the same ones old ladies push in strollers. You’ve got yippee-yappers and concrete-crappers. The cotton-ball ones. The taco salesman. The ones that look like their owners. And that’s pretty much it.  We’re kidding, of course. We’re just being a wiener this morning.   Camo, Like It Used to Be [Partner]  There’s a certain kind of camo that takes us right back—fishing with our grandfather, duck hunting with our uncles. You know, that old-school outdoor gear? Melin’s new Duck Camo Collection pays homage to that nostalgic pattern, with a modern twist. For the uninitiated, Melin makes some of the most durable, functional, and comfortable hats on the market. So when you mix that craftsmanship with vintage-inspired camo? You get a hat that stands out in your day-to-day style and blends in on your next outdoor adventure.  Shop the Duck Camo Collection here.   SHOP NOW   VIDEO: This Smoked Cheesesteak Might Start a Fight in Philly Hide the children. Protect your wife. It’s a Philly Street Fight! Don’t be scared. There are mushrooms in this cheesesteak. Calm down, you purists. Skip the shroomies if you must. We haven’t even gotten to the controversial part yet.  It’s about the cheese. (And the peppers.) (And the steak, actually.)   VIDEO: The History of Information This animation is lovely. Comes in hot, though. So if flashing lights aren’t your thing, maybe pass on this one. That’s a thing now, you know. Menus tell you what has gluten; videos tell you what has strobe. It’s the entire history of information in under sixty seconds.  How could it not strobe?   VIDEO: Welcome to the Frick! Steve Martin narrates this, and he’s the perfect vehicle to deliver the message of art. Obviously. But first, some quick background about Mr. Frick, the Gilded Age douche who used to live in this NYC mansion. We don’t think we’re being too judgmental here. He was literally dubbed the most hated man in America.  But dammit he had an eye for art. Gotta give him that.   THROWBACK VIDEO: Klute – Therapy Session On Friday, in our When There’s Nothing On section, we pointed you to Klute (1971). Jane Fonda plays a sex worker. This scene sticks in our mind when we think about why she’s so great in it. Every sentence she speaks is surprising, peeling back another layer. There’s something just under your skin about it.  Have yourself a throwback movie night tonight. Great date night.   The Mixer Piero Piccioni (vid), Italian summer playlist.
