Here is a odd bird that recently ended on eBay:

Stifel was famous for their polka-dotted indigo-dyed cloth which was manufactured roughly from the late 1800's to about 1940. That...
Everybody thinks they are so friendly and cuddly and cute but my from vast experience as a Bronx Zoo ticket purchaser all I've witnessed is incessant chatter, feces-hurling, and lewd gestures. People, what is with all this monkey love?!!
I dig motorcycle jackets of the 30's, 40's, and 50's. Here is one of my faves. It is a Buco J-24 and was made around 1954. It's made from a weighty, grainy horse. It is my second best friend (after my faithful dog Pearl).
This was written and directed by Chris D. who old punks out there will remember as the lead singer of the Flesheaters and the Divine Horsemen. It's another entry into the vampirism-as-heroin addict library and is burdened with a poor script, amateurish production, and some of the worst acting...
Bassist and co-vocalist in the favorite band of my youth, X.
Over the past 20 odd years he's become a pretty good character actor and built up quite a resume. GREAT songwriter and musician, could've been a tremendous leading man but things don't always pan out...
Just watched this one again. What a hilarious flick. My girlfriend is friends with the guy who played Vlad, and boy is funny!
Apparently this is also David Bowie's favorite movie.
Spoiler: for sadistic dengerates only!
Got this one in the mail today:

It's a lightwight grey wool. The jacket and vest fit perfect, I will have to take the pant's waist in a couple of inches. They are a few...
Good way to start the second half. Lotta games left in the season, but if we can make a good trade or two (Abreu, Soriano, starting pitcher?) before the deadline we'll be in good shape. Go Yanks!!!
Out for a Sunday stroll with some friends today and I discovered a pile of clean, folded clothes sitting on top of a garbage can today (people in NYC often leave clothes out like this for homless people). Top of the pile was a hardly worn late 30's/early 40's Admiral Byrd russet horsehide...
I am an devilishly handsome and fabulously wealthy man with a sparkling wit and endless barrels of smarts. I am looking for sultry someones to lavish with sweet, sweet love. If you like mink, truffles, and diamonds, than give me a jingle.
Howdy Folks,
I think the 1970's were a decade so ripe with quality film-making that perhaps only the the 1940's can favorably compare.
My current ten favorties of the period are:
(in no particular order)
PAPER MOON
THE LAST DETAIL
NIGHT MOVES
FAT CITY
AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD
THE MAN WHO...
I recently picked up an old pair of russet-colored Florasheim brogues with that old nubbly embossed grain. I'm trying to figure out roughly how old they are.
One thing apparent to me is that they lack the little cloth "cameo" tag inside either shoe.Does anyone here know when that tag was first...
One of my all-time favoites. Any of you folks seen this? You should.
Black comedy at it's bleakest and maybe Burt Lancaster's greatest performance in a screen career equaled in greatness by nobody else.
I rented DOWNFALL a couple of months ago (it had just come out on dvd).
It's been stuck in my mind ever since. Best factual historical film I've seen in many years (and in some ways, maybe ever). That it features an non-judgemental attitude towards portraying a horrible moment in time is very...
