Beautiful Things That Aren't Clothes

[Jay]

After seeing the bicycle posted in another thread, I thought I'd start a thread dedicated to all those stylish objects that aren't clothes.

To start us off, I want one of these. Badly. I can get 40% discount through our Cycle to Work scheme so am tempted for this summer.

When I have enough money, I'm not a student and I am in need of a car I intend to buy myself a 1966 Alfa Romeo spider duetto.

And a black Citroen DS.

both absolutely fantastic pieces of design and styling.

Well, when I say in need of a car, what I mean to say is in need of a car that will only work occasionally and when IT wants to and can only be taken out on sunny days and has full AA membership so I can make use of their tow trucks when they do break down on the one day that they do work.

But for those perfect 20 minutes of driving I shall be the happiest man in the world.

Damn, I need a new old bike...

This is a vintage Gretsch Candy Twist Corvette:

Rarer than unicorn shit but handsomely priced for a 1960s Gretsch and, admit it, looks ridiculously cool.

I don't have much money, but if I do, I'd buy a big house for myself...A big house is all an indoor woman wants that are beautiful besides clothes : )

Just bought these trunks for my bedroom to have by my bed, doubling as both a bedside table and storage. I LOVE vintage luggage!

I saw one of these being ridden through town over the weekend and all I could say was:


ooooohhhhhhhhhhh

Maggie Q at the Mission Impossible 3 premiere



The special effects and cinematography of 'Prometheus' (shame about the dialogue and script)




Apple iMac

Prometheus did indeed have fine art direction, but the story and script itself was a little more... Meh. Too many blatantly dumb decisions by the characters (ie apparently highly-trained scientists jamming an electric probe into a severed head for no apparent reason).
