Once again, I thank the internet for an endless supply of baffling treasures. Tonight’s treat is from this site, which appears in my bookmarks as “knoppen.” It’s an incredible catalog of Cliff Muskiet’s thirty-year collection of flight attendant’s uniforms–literally hundreds of airlines are showcased.
These are just a few of my favorites.
I think the best part might be the heartbroken mannequin.
Joel Johnson, proving that leaving Boing Boing makes him no less rad, has purchased, scanned, and posted the original paste up of Wally Wood’s 22 Panels that Always Work.
It’s posted in six different resolutions, collect em all.
22 Panels, if you’re unfamiliar, was a collection of panels Wood drew as aid to prevent himself from exerting too much effort on any one piece. This was later reproduced ad infinitum by Marvel Comics’ staff and handed from one budding artist to the next. A universal cheat sheet.
Inhae Renee Lee has started the most charming and adorable weblog.
One day, Inhae opened the door to find that a milk tooth, lost from under her pillow as a child, had appeared at her door.
I can’t wait to see what happens next.
Benjamin Ferencz’s Selectism column points to the remarkable bespoke work of Freeman’s Sporting Club. FSC’s clothes are made from deadstock cotton, wool, and other unused materials from the 1950s and 1960s. Their works are built to last and designed to age beautifully.
Although that kind of custom tailoring is way over my paygrade, the select pieces available for sale at Refinery29 move FSC’s collection from the fantastic to the merely aspirational.
[Read: I'm not going to spend $300 on a sweater, but I wouldn't be afraid to try it on.]
Frederik Vercruysse seems to be all over my internet today and, while I usually avoid reposting ubiquitous content, I can’t avoid this one.
His pictures come through so well I can smell them.
