Back in 1996, Sneaker Pimps
had a sultry female singer “with sensual evocation”. Then she was swapped out for
one of the founding members. He was also quite good, even though his delivery
was less tantalizing.

At Home | Best café … is in your home library
 |
Still
from The Best Café. Yours. | U.S. Ad Campaign 2012 | Nespresso
|
Recently I
caught up on some mindless, and lengthy, watching of the “Idiot Box”, and hence
had some solid exposure to advertising. Not always a good thing, the latter, if
I want to stop thinking-analyzing. Yes, such is my lot. Yet, the current ad
campaign for Nespresso caught my attention in a pleasant way – not only because
I can seriously abuse coffee – because it had the components I blogged about
(!): a nice box of capsules (I own a machine but not the other paraphernalia, like
the boxes that were part of the Year of the Dragon set that I coveted, key word
here, some time back), Lana Del Ray’s “Blue Jeans” as a soundtrack, and a nice
home library! Alright, maybe I can be easily marketed to after all .

Shine from YAHOO! threw out there “Spooky, sexy, gothic ideas for grown-up Halloween party.” Ha?! That means booze! The Killer / Autumn Punch
sounds like a nice mix, but I was more tickled by the serving suggestion.
Noroc!

Movies | The Good Life, or the riches-to-rags life of Matte and Annemette Beckmann
Reminiscent
of Royce & Marilyn’s tarnished-but-still-holding-on-to-“class” glory, “The
Good Life” is a Danish documentary which “relates the tragicomic life story of
once-wealthy dowager Mette Beckmann and her middle-aged daughter, Annemette,
who subsist in a cramped Portuguese apartment on Mette's tiny pension and their
own bickering company.” Already on my to-see list.
Interesting Couple | “God on a wheel!” at Decadent Old Bitches
The beauty of scouring internet and, thus, other blogs
is all about finding the gems that hide out there in the ether. Here is one – Decadent Old Bitches. Loved it first for the title. I mean, it is just brilliantly
arresting! This fabulosity of a blog was, alas, short lived – February to December
2011.
Ran by Red Revolution, Decadent Old Bitches was “set up […] as an educational resource and a canvas for [Red Revolution’s] market research. [In 2011, Red Revolution was] a final year fashion student in Brisbane, Australia preparing [their] graduate collection. [Their] target market [was] decadent old bitches and [Red Revolution] created this blog as a scrapbook to store all the information [they] could gather of various icons [they] perceive[d] to be [their] potential customer.” Love it even more! Pity Red Revolution did not continue, but on December 3, 2011 they left on a fine note. Yes, this ROYCE & MARILYN video. Ah, the Dahlings! |
Booze | Beer relationships
It has been a while since I
posted anything on booze,
then I came across this relationship chart in the
Crate & Barrel Holiday Inspiration 2012 catalogue.
Thirsty?
