I’ve been slow to warm to twitter, and I’m not sure I’ve yet thawed, but reading William Gibson’s stream led me to this collection of typewriter ribbon tins from Uppercase Magazine.
Is that enough links for one sentence?
This post reminds me of my favorite Playmobil set, 5504. A cop harasses a loaded hobo on a bench. It just seems to beg for some Benny Hill stop-motion animation—all it lacks are girls in petticoats.
As a direct follow on to Sunday’s post, NYTimes has an article up on the rise (and inevitable skyrocketing prices for) Victorian and Edwardian junk. In particular they chronicle the impeccable taste of Hollister and Porter Hovey, a pair of sisters with an exquisite collection of taxidermy, baubles, and club memorabilia.
It makes me happy for lovely things to get some press, but it’s like the stock market: the second there’s coverage on a trend, the trend is over.
Check out their stuff, it’s fantastic.

Genius.
Aptly named Etsy seller i made you a beard makes and sells stunning prosthetic beards, stickers, and doctored photographs.
Keep it up.
For Janine, who’s always loved her beards.
