I am obsessed with this beautiful little book, which is part of a very cool exhibition in Melbourne called “Insert Coin Here“.
I went through a fascination with Japanese vending machines around eight years ago. The quirkier the better. I still like them, so this concept really pleases me.
Can someone in Melbourne please find one of these two vending machines and insert $2?
Pretty please?
I’m a big fan of letters. Of course the notion is a romantic and idealistic one, but I like it. Handwritten thoughts to someone seems old school and awfully special, especially in this hyper colour, electronic age.
I’ve toyed around with the idea for some time now, but it’s never panned out. I’m still holding it though. Just in case.
So, you can just imagine how much I liked coming across this site and particularly, this post. I adore the image of a 14 year old Slash talking quite obsessively about his guitar – and loosing a girlfriend over it too. I’m reading The Rum Diary at the moment so I really like this one too, faxed over by none other than the great Hunter S. Thompson.
And speaking of all things nostalgic, anyone who’s ever been to my house knows I have quite a thing for Polaroids. So this site definitely deserves a mention. I wish I had even just a couple of these images in my hallway. Major job envy.
So I came across this article recently and it reminded me of this old post.
