Fifth Avenue on safari

This pattern is elegant which belies the fabric choice on the main picture of this Givenchy pattern from 1970. (Is that couch material?) The drawn illustration reminds me of my other Star Trek themed post called, "Are you the New Empath?" Although, this pattern is little more Dr. Beverly Crusher. Rare designer patterns like this can be found here.

Game of Pewter Horns

A manly, horny beer stein.
Bring it with you next time you watch the show with friends.
Or carry it to an Oktoberfest, like Zum Schneider in the East Village,
or better yet, maybe the Bohemian Hall in Queens.
(However, I'm not sure you should actually drink out of it.)
It was sold here.

The Black Belles or Loretta Lynn back in the day wore

dresses like this                                  and this.

If Peter Beard had been a needlecrafter

Or if only Duran Duran somehow could have worked this onto the cover of Seven and the Ragged Tiger. If only they were more crafty and into psychedelic colors.
This needle point kit is called "JUNGLE FLORAL", designed by Alexandra Hill. Was sold here.

Luke, can you hear me now?

Darth Vader speakerphone with full duplex sound! Have a conversation without missing a beat, not like that white fruit phone or its clones. Half-duplex phones are like one lane roads: sound can only go one way at a time.  When you and your caller are laughing, he who laughs first is heard. Makes it hard to tell if your friend finds your own Boba Fett joke as funny as you do. AWKWARRRRD. But I digress...


With this old school land line speaker phone, that stands about 15 inches tall AND works in a power outage if your phone line is working, you'll know in a shake of a Tauntaun's tail if your friend is laughing too. You can buy it, box 'n all, here.
