We have launched our Facebook Page and the community is growing fast! Like our page and discuss which moustair is the coolest, whether you would buy a real life Mario Kart, and why on earth Benton (or was it Fenton?!) the dog chased those poor deer around Richmond Park?!
Below are some of the coolest people we know and we wanted to say a quick thank you to them for all of their support so far. Click on the image below to join them:
55exhibition Review Featuring Olek
Origin of Cool: UK
Last week was the 55exhibition at Tony’s Gallery launched by 55pages. It was produced, directed, curated by 55employees and featured artists SICKBOY, BERT and Exhibit A.
Origin of Cool were invited to attend by crochet artist Olek and editor David J Lowe had the privilege of being asked to wear one of Olek’s creations - a crochet suit!
Here are some of the photos from a very interesting night:

Wristwatch-Shaped Post-It Notes
Say goodbye to writing things on your hand and maybe possibly getting ink-poisoning! These cute little watch-shaped Post-It notes are gummed at one end of the “strap” so you can wrap them around your wrist with reminders written on them.
If there was a link here that took you to a checkout so you could buy these Post-It watches through Origin of Cool, is this something you would consider? If so, please add “YES” in the comments or tweet/share the link using #OriginofCoolRules.
If we get enough, we’ll open an online shop for you!!
