Speaking of Patti, we share a birthday.

It confuses me that so many designers/manufacturers producing clothing that runs one size down and shoes that run one size up. Who are they trying to attire? Lilliputian waifs with Brobdignagian feet?

I could see running everything a size down or a size up for pure difficulty, but I continue to be amazed at the juxtaposition.

Lilliputian waifs with Brobdignagian feet?

I tried to pronounce "Brobdignagian" quickly in my head and started bleeding out of my eyes.

Finally remembered to get around to screenshotting these - Windansea surf punks from the 50's in Nazi memorabilia that somebodies father had brought back from the way. Hard not to wonder if Raf had seen these images / heard about it before F/W 04 - probably not likely, though.



Just to save space (they're kinda big images) the rest / larger click-throughs are over here.

thought this was cool, even though the article itself is poorly written for coverage on an art piece..................

Art student's car vanishing act


Sara Watson took three weeks to transform the car


A design student made a battered old Skoda "disappear" by painting it to merge with the surrounding car park. Sara Watson, who is studying drawing at the University of Central Lancashire (Uclan), took three weeks to transform the car's appearance.
She created the illusion in the car park outside her studio at Uclan's Hanover Building in Preston.
The car is now being used for advertising by the local recycling firm that donated the vehicle.
'Just amazing'
Ms Watson, a second year student, said: "I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed something a bit more physical to make a real impact."
She was given the Skoda Fabia from the breaker's yard at local firm Recycling Lives.
Owner Steve Jackson described her work as "amazing".
"When I first saw the photos I was convinced it was something which had been done on the computer," said Mr Jackson.
"But when you look more closely you see the effort and attention to detail she has put into it. It is just amazing."

Living in Seattle, I see a lot of coffee/tea places. What always cracks me up is when I see 'Chai Tea' on the menu...

Why? Because 'Chai' means 'Tea'. So it's like having 'Tea Tea'....

We often has "Salsa Sauce" to our tacos too :)

I'm oddly excited for the Star Trek film, despite a general distaste for popcorn movies and star trek. This onion review is pretty great:

You make me wonder how tacos are in Sweden... Are they anywhere close to being authentic?

Well, all kinds of vegetals, taco shells/tortillas and grinded meat, beans or quorn (I'm a veggie) and readymade taco-spices! :)

[lowrey]

do you guys have that other brand of taco stuff, forgot the name but yellow packaging? their taco spice is tons better than Santa Maria

[bestial]

You mean Old El Paso?

We always had that when I where a kid, but then suddenly Santa Maria entered the kitchen. Now I don't even remember the taste of the old...el Paso!
