From the deep bowels of Patterson, New Jersey, Korean-born artist So Yoon Lym emerges with amazingly realistic paintings of people’s hair and braid patterns.

This soap, which comes packed with ‘notes of Oriental Rose and Night Blooming Jasmine’ is also infused with Brooklyn Red Lager, so you can sud up and get hammered at the same time. But it begs the question: do hipsters use soap?
