Obama And Unicorns



Artist Dan Lacey has found his muse: Barack Obama, frolicking naked with unicorns. Above is, what I can only assume is, a wry and nuanced commentary on the future of medical reform in the United States. My god, it is so clear now what we must do! Thank you, fair artist. By the way, also check out The Obama Art Report.

Are You A Fashion Puppet?

Looking for stuff for Fabric Swatch Fridays, I found this gem: retro puppet-print fabric. (Since the auction is closing today, I figured I shouldn't wait til Friday to post it.)

El Vampiro Atomico

Via Giovannarama at Collectors Quest, the Mexican lobby card for the 1958 U.K. film, Fiend Without a Face. For some reason, the Spanish title is far more intriguing to me.

Look Like A Vintage Secretary

You could dress like Maureen O'Hara, or just carry a vintage movie star tablet.


I'm surprised any of these vintage writing tablets have survived... The "tops," with their celebrity images, maybe; but with paper? Amazing.

Read more about them at Things & Other Stuff, who also has some for salenow.
