Holiday Gift…

I’m looking for a vintage alarm clock circa 60′s and I found this…

Stripper Alarm Clock – New $10

Brand new in the box. This is a fun item! When the alarm goes off, the stripper dances around the pole and flashing lights come on. Batteries included. Call Jim if interested 347-244-0240.

Not quite what I’m after, but radness all the same..

Martin Greenfield keeping it sharp

I just found these photos on The Selby, video from Martin Greenfield‘s site directed Galen Summer.

I’m in love with the industrial images from his factory and the fact that he takes such pleasure in making everyone look sharp.

S.S. Glam Ferry

Where Bryan Ferry goes Foxy Ladies follow – Foxy Ferry?  I used to wait on Bryan when I worked in London at the River Cafe and he always had gorgeous women by his side, they were vapid but beautiful.

“Hello and Good Evening, may I get you something to drink?

Bryan: I’ll take a glass of champagne

Girl: Me too

“May I take your order?”

Bryan: I’ll take the Calamari followed by the Lobster

Girl: I’ll have the same as he’s having

Really? there are 17 items on the menu. If I’ve done my Permutation Mathematics correctly, “girl” had 2730 different combinations and that is what she came up with.

Better off Red

I feel like redheads have come into their own, but maybe not in England…I found this article, I especially love the last line:

Oddly Enough

Virgin Media’s newspaper advert for the program “Dating in the Dark” included the text: “How do you spot a ginger in the dark?”

Virgin said the premise of the show was to challenge people’s perception of attractiveness and to encourage decisions based on personality as well as looks.

However the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) agreed with three complainants that the ad was likely to cause serious offence and should not be used again.

“We considered the text was likely to be interpreted … as a statement that reflected a choice between looks and personality … being a suggestion that people with ginger hair were unattractive,” the ASA said in a statement.

“We considered the ad was unlikely to be interpreted to be light-hearted in tone and was instead likely to be seen as prejudicial against people with ginger hair.”

Other adverts in the series used to promote the show had included the tagline: “When the lights come on I just hope I haven’t been kissing Shrek.”

On Tuesday, Britain’s biggest retailer Tesco apologized and said it had withdrawn a Christmas card which showed a child with red hair sitting on the lap of Santa Claus under the banner: “Santa loves all kids. Even ginger ones.”

Trench + Sartorialist = Classic

I feel like there was an intense concentration of Trenchs around about four years ago and like any trend, as soon as it hits too many areas I don’t want a part of it.  But there is no denying how classic and how cool the Trench is.  Burberry and Sartorialist collab – http://artofthetrench.com/ I love the detailing of when you click on the photos for more information you hear a gentle hum of street traffic.  Lulls…

MATH

I’ll not lie, math or maths as we call it has never been my strong point. Playing sports, learning languages, baking brownies, spelling, telling jokes, writing stories, shopping. These are all things that I am good at. But I did some math to figure out my annual growth rate in my Etsy Store for 2009. Here is the formula-

((Present sales – Previous sales)/previous sales)* 100

Did you get that…

I am happy to say 940% growth rate – um recession what?

All White Long

Just found these images of Maison Martin Margiela’s jewelry, I am really returning to a simpler more elegant way of dressing. As I sit here in jeans, tank and thick white men’s cardigan embroidered with giant deer head on the back.  Sometimes it’s chilly and you have to wear what keeps you warm…But seriously I would be happy to receive any of these in my stocking.

Santa are you listening??

not your mamas pearls

love this
