Try as we might, the likelihood of any of us ever being as cool as Lennon or McQueen or Connery or Ali (the list goes on) is pretty close to nil. Some might even say that it’s impossible. These men, and women like Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot, make even the most mundane of things cool. They also all happen to photograph quite well, which led to Sonic Editions releasing The Impossible Cool set of pictures. Each picture (there are ten different ones to choose from) comes in a variety of sizes and frame options ranging from 14×11″ to 24×20″. The photographs themselves run the gamut from McQueen leisurely lounging in a director’s style chair to Connery outshining an Aston Martin DB5 (circa Thunderball) to Bardot reclined in a bathtub. Now even your walls can be cool.
