For those who don’t know, the Ben Rose Home is the famous ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off’ home in Illinois where Cameron’s dad’s Ferrari was stored and subsequently (spoiler alert!) driven off the ledge. Director/writer John Hughes had some interesting things to say about this house in the director’s commentary of Ferris Bueller which you should check out some time. It’s being sold ‘as is’ with an asking price of 2.3 million via Sotheby‘s. Hit more for a few more interior shots.

The shorts have two adjustable straps on the side of the waist and a signature Paul Smith logo patch in the back. They retail for about £ 70 and you can order them here.

Mark the Cobrasnake – Horse Porn

Mark Hunter is a lot like you and I. He wears vintage clothing. He travels. He grows awesome facial hair. He parties. He takes pictures. Unlike you and I, he does all that for a living.  Over the past five years, “The Cobrasnake” has become the definitive photographer of global hipster culture, shooting everything from Indie Rock bands playing basement parties to DJs spinning in exclusive clubs.

Five years ago Mark created Polaroid Scene, the world’s first nightlife photo blog, and began posting pictures he would take at shows and clubs during the heady days of LA’s “indie” explosion. After working out a few kinks and receiving a sternly worded letter from Polaroid’s legal department, www.thecobrasnake.com was born, and the much imitated website now gets over 500,000 visitors a month. In the past year alone Mark has traveled to over 75 cities in 15 countries shooting parties and events, constantly searching for the latest trends and hottest fashions.

Mark has since become a staple at fashion weeks, nightclubs, galleries, concerts, festivals, parties, proms, sweet sixteens, and bar/bat mitzvahs across the world.

LH: ‘Aight man, right to it, tell our readers where the name “The Cobra Snake” came from?

MARK: I was on a spirit quest with an old Indian man in the desert and after five days the spirit of the cobra appeared to me and spit super sour flavored venom all over my eyeballs. After that I had a vision of an even more mystical cobra wearing a leather jacket with no arm holes who told me if I changed my name to “The Cobrasnake” and he would tell me the secret to make all of my dreams come true. Its basically all the stuff that’s in the book “The Secret” except it actually works.
