Remember the brouhaha when someone in Wales, UK, got banned from the supermarket chain Tesco for wearing pajamas while shopping? Well, that’s nothing compared to the people of Shanghai. They’ve elevated wearing pajamas in public into an art form!
Award-winning photographer Justin Guariglia documented the beauty and charm of the PJ-crazy Chinese people in his book Planet Shanghai
Whether you view those who go about their business wearing pajamas as committing fashion faux pas or are hipsters in disguise, you’ll get a kick out of Justin’s book Planet Shanghai, excerpted over at our wide-format Spotlight blog: Link
Justin and the book’s publisher, Chronicle Books, are kind enough to supply 2 free copies of the book for a giveaway, so let’s have a little fun, shall we?

If the folks at Carlos Marreiros architecture firm have their ways, the Macau Pavillion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010 will be in the form this glorious giant rabbit:
… the pavilion will be wrapped with a double-layer glass membrane and feature fluorescent screens on its outer walls. Balloons will serve as the head and tail of the ‘rabbit’, which can be moved up and down to attract visitors. The building will be constructed with recyclable materials and consists of solar power panels and rain collection systems.
