That Vanity Fair article on Marilyn Monroe had me enthralled while I was grocery shopping with my sisters. I almost ran into people a couple of times because I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.

Those Typewriter tins are incredible! Art deco design makes me want to swoon, and I’m completely in love with this one:

The colours! The logo! The simplicity! The all lowercase ‘ribbon’ … and the sheer beauty of the placement of the circle.
Thanks, Nubby!

Ah, I was just reading that article on niche blogs earlier. I’ll be sure to keep their points in mind as I do an overhaul of my site/blog (and No. 6 ties in nicely to your earlier post about self-branding!).

The MJ video is pretty funny but it makes me feel sad for him in some ways.
