Ever since we saw rapper and fashion show staple Kanye West sporting a glowing lego pin that mimics his heartbeat, we knew we had to get our hands on one (hey, it was that or his thousand dollar shoes). Turns out, the pin was made by none other Dee and Ricky, mad geniuses behind those Lego barrettes and belts at the Marc by Marc spring '08 show. The intrepid design duo, also two-thirds of the rap/dance group Jackson-Swinton, even collaborated with artist Takashi Murakami on a line of lego bowties. Get thee to their website to see what other magical Lego objects you can sport, including headbands and ducks. Obviously, building things out of blocks is the way to the future. The fifth grader in us is rejoicing.
