We’ve all had dreams about hanging out in a plastic greenhouse filled with sublimated Campari gas, but last night it became a reality, thanks to the confectioners at Bombas & Parr (seen here inside the magic chamber) and their Milan-based, Campari-sponsored opening party.

The fabled Campari calendar has been marred by a photoshop leak and, judging from this picture, it looks like Ms. Alba’s hips, waist, and legs were the victims. We feel so used!
We expect this sort of thing from the *Vogue* cohort, but if the Italians can’t appreciate a full figure, the world is truly mixed up.

Filling Salma Hayek’s shoes—or whatever—is no easy task. But here at Kempt our Locks are off to Eva Mendes for her yeoman’s work on Campari’s new calendar for 2008.

Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is home to some of the country’s best bars and coolest restaurants—and, of course, some of the best menswear shops in the world. Naturally, you’ll find more than a few stylish individuals perched outside those locations (and no, not all of them are Billyburg hipsters). See what we mean below...
Style. The Mission’s got it. Union Square’s got it. But each of them goes about having it in a different way—the Mission rocking a more bohemian coffee shop vibe, Union Square hosting some of the best higher-fashion shops (and shoppers) on the West Coast. We rounded up a few of the most stylish folks from both. Have yourself a gander below…
