in regard to clothing, t-shirts are my favorite item… right up there with pearl snaps. cuz there’s nothin like the way you feel when you’re sporting the t-shirt and jeans look.  if you’re like me, this book may also be for you!  from Amazon:

Ripped is the first book to document the shirts of the post-punk and indie period, after the submission of 1960s rock ‘n’ roll to mass popularity and before the onset of ironic consumerism. Carefully selected from the archives of vintage fashion collector Cesar Padilla, the 200 T-shirts in this book are classic examples of rare and extremely limited shirts created by and for the very bands who embodied the true essence of the DIY and indie movements—from The Ramones to Sonic Youth, John Cale, Talking Heads, Madonna, X, Pil, The Germs, and many others. Each shirt has been photographed in all its gritty, sweat-stained glory just as it was found—on the street, in a thrift store, or inherited from a friend.

i’m a big fan of things that act differently than they look, secret hiding places and inanimate objects of deception. imagine my joy when i uncovered this beautiful product this morning!  by now we should all be very familiar with the vinyl stickers many people place on their laptops in an effort to personalize and beautify their cold machine.  however, lately i’ve noticed these vinyl stickers amounting to little more than the political assertions often found on the bumber of your neighborhood Volkswagen.  enter BookBook.  pretty.  stylish.  classy. $80.00.
