Ground control to Major Weekend.
Football season’s here. Good thing Perks is getting you 30% off the world’s best beef jerky. Also, meet your new liquor cabinet: an exclusive vintage bar cart. Finally, we got you VIP tickets to the Breeders’ Cup... putting you just by the finish line. Life is good with Perks...
In 1938, Alfred Hitchcock made a movie called The Lady Vanishes. Check it out. It’s weird. It also starred a woman named Margaret Lockwood. And turns out, the ’38 Delage D6-70 Tourer she drove around in between scenes is now up for auction at Bonhams. So you should probably buy that.
You’ve seen those vintage cameras from the ’70s. All boxy and amazing. Great collector’s items to have lying around a study. Or some type of parlor. Or your dad’s neck. Anyway, someone just repurposed a bunch of them into one-of-a-kind lamps. For your study. Or parlor. Probably not your dad’s neck.
We just thought you should know that someone recently came up with an idea. The idea that your house key should be shaped like a hand. And that the middle finger of that hand should be extended. That’s right, it’s a “f**k you” key. Carry on.
There’s this little workshop in London. They make whiskey tumblers that look like something out of Dalí’s The Persistence of Memory painting. The melting-clocks one. Point is, they look like they’re melting. They’re all kiln-fired and handmade to order. You can stack them, display them... even drink whiskey out of them.
Peanuts. Pretzels. A thimble of Diet Coke. These are things that you’re likely to be served on an airplane. Which is why you need this: a new website that’s basically OpenTable for airline food, complete with preorder menus from over 80 airlines and a bunch of reviews. It’s flying, not barbarism.
