Robert Scoble talks with Philippe Starck, design überguru. wow. DFOF wishes he had been there.
In the meantime, let’s have a caption competition.
DFOF’s caption attempt.
“Is that your Motorbike over there?”
“Yes, I’m going to drive over your Kindle with it.”
ooooohhh no missus. the tight leather trousers beer belly look is never good. This outfit is so uncool it makes the Kindle look like the iPod touch.
caption: “Sorry if I look a little weird. Air France lost my luggage so I had to wear my girlfriend’s pants. You’re very butch Robert but you really should part your hair on the other side.”
Man Walking Dog : have you seen my dog I think he went that way.
Lost Motorcyclist : No. Where am I ? Why are you holding a microphone and who the fsck are all these people ?
Someone is bound to say it, so I’ll get it out of the way now…
“Hey, pull my finger”
On to some better captions….

Le Web’s popular new attraction has Scoble attempting to guess the religion of attendees.
Oh my! It could be worse.
“My what big shoulder pads you have”
“Been taking fashion advice from Queen Latifah again, eh?”
Do you think this is a cultural issue, though? I lived and worked in Europe and clothes there seemed to more utilitarian in some areas, especially for men. In Southern Germany it is common for men to wear leather daisy dukes. I don’t condone it, but accept the cultural differences. This may actually be well-received in Paris. I don’t think a younger gent would wear this, though. Of course, if you are as talented and brilliant as Philippe Starck, then does it really matter?
