Banksy, a street artist from Bristol, opened a fake pet shop in NYC. This installation is titled "The Village Pet Store and Charcoal Grill", featuring chicken nuggets with legs (my favourite), moving hot dogs, a rabbit with pearl necklace, leopard and etc.

According to Independent, Banksys offered a written explanation for the installation: "New Yorkers don't care about art, they care about pets. So I'm exhibiting them instead."

Cri de Coeur is a French expression that translates literally to "cry from the heart."   To us, it symbolizes our heartfelt desire to change the face of the fashion footwear market.  Launching for Spring 2008, Cri de Coeur provides stylish, contemporary women's footwear that is ethically produced from start to finish.
    Gina Ferraraccio is the founder and creative inspiration behind the brand. As a vegan, she felt frustrated with trying to satisfy both the stylish and animal-friendly qualities when shopping, especially for goods usually made of leather.  She discovered there were not any options readily available to her that were high-quality, high-fashion, vegan footwear and began to formulate the first ideas for Cri de Coeur in the late 1990's. As environmental issues became more and more prevalent in everyday awareness, she realized to merely make vegan shoes while ignoring their impact on the planet would be irresponsible.  Thus, the complete vision for Cri de Coeur was born.

There is a very inspiring poem by architect Moshe Safdie on TED.

He who seeks truth shall find beauty
He who seeks beauty shall find vanity

He who seeks order shall find gratification
He who seeks gratification shall be disappointed

He who considers himself a servant of his fellow beings shall find the joy of self expression
He who seeks self expression shall fall into the pit of arrogance

Arrogance is incompatible with nature
Through nature the nature of the universe and the nature of man we shall seek truth
If we seek truth we shall find beauty

-- Moshe Safdie
