She goes to Goodwill.” A few years ago, Lovell started receiving strange bills and court summons for theft. It turned out that a San Francisco-based woman named Erin […]
From designer Francesco Morackini (of the “Dildomaker” that makes dildos out of everything), here is “MO-CLEAN/14” aka the Banker. This concept machine mimics the appearance and mobility of office printer/copier/thing while collecting trace amounts of cocaine from all your banknotes.
