Ju$t Another Rich Kid Unveiling Limited Edition Set of Designer Coke Spoons in SF Tonight Next Week

It may not be the best moment to be celebrating the blind indulgence of American consumer (and drug) culture, but fashion designer Ken Courtney of Ju$t Another Rich Kid is nonetheless forging ahead with an ironic tribute to everyone who enjoys the booger sugar: a limited edition set of silver and gold coke spoons crafted by five well known designers. The set is a kind of art object titled "He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not." and each spoon in the set was designed by a different designer: Courtney himself, Terence Koh, Various Projects, Daniel Jackson and SF's own Nice Collective. Courtney's original spoon, inspired by a 1970s McDonald's coffee stirrer that was banned, allegedly, because of its popularity for use in snorting cocaine - link NSFW - was recently purchased by the SFMoMA for their design collection. It was part of a series called "Indulgences" which included a $5,000 pair of gold-dipped high-top Nikes.

There's a launch party for the project at Harputs Market (1527 Fillmore) tonight on May 7 (sorry, jumped the gun there...), 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., with an after-party at Triple Crown (1760 Market) at 10 p.m. We are guessing the bathroom lines at each venue will be long.
