Beep Beep....Fashion

2914265939_75e826c259_b.jpg Blogger Will Kane (mentioned 2 posts previously) achieved his Warholian 15 minutes of fame in last Sunday's Observer, by appearing in this Giallo-inspired ensemble. I particularly like the cheap, National Health eyeglass frames.

I could never pull off a look like this. If I tried, I'd resemble Barney Rubble in a turtle-neck and sports jacket.

The Great Rock and Roll British Butter Swindle


Many thanks to the Cartoonist for alerting me to this bizarre commercial, currently running in the UK, which features that eternally-spotty, punk übermensch, John Lydon, pimping himself for Country Life Butter.

If this was 1977, I'd probably be crying "sellout!" and rioting outside the Whisky, or something. Nowadays, I just laugh and reach for the English muffins.

Mmm....butter....[drool]
