Pretty excited about ordering this Japanese Levi's "fishtail" coat:

Polaroid had a wonderful design moment a few years ago, but all the great looking products flopped.

In contrast, Fujifilm's similar Instax line has a kind of puffy design with extremely ugly pastel colors:

Meanwhile, over at Polaroid, some extremely ugly and muddled collabs:

Speaking of Kodak's attempts to come back from the dead, I can't help but be charmed by the designs of their novelty instaprint cameras. Cute, clean, great colors:

The confusing thing to me is whether it was glazed? I guess not?

The rest of the soundtrack isn't rock, but Morricone at his most experimental, with dissonant orchestra and abstract vocals. Highly recommended! www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT_v...

I've mentioned this before, but when I first started at the NGA, I worked in the Gallery Shops for about a year and it was a celeb-spotting extravaganza. I'll always remember selling postcards to Max von Sydow and that was the only time I was truly starstruck, agog.

Ah yes, the infamously uncool Johnny Cash.

He was so good, a "funny rapper" but also an accomplished jazz musician. He put out a few great albums in the 90s and then mostly withdrew from the music industry.
