Are they peeking?
Ever get the feeling you are being watched? Maybe I have my finger on the pulse of things?
Whatever is going on is sort of spooky. So a magazine published all the websites I have listed on one of my blogs having to do with retro stoves and such. They are now trying to sell the rest of America on this:
"Produced between 1900 - 1920, the antique kitchen stoves from this era are styled with crisp, clean castings and sleek nickeled highlights. These stoves are sophisticated and discrete and offer a caliber of quality and construction unrivaled by today's modern stoves and reproductions."
I'm glad the word is getting out there. I did read in a trade journal that large corporations do pay for the search keywords used on such sites as Ebay. This info helps them decide what to sell you. Target is one of those companies. I don't mind repros. Mid Century Classics Re-Issued the next article. Hmmmm yep, they must be following all you retro and vintage lovers out there!
Are capes in because I kept searching for a decent wool, plaid Pendleton cape last year on Ebay? I am starting to wonder how many of our searches for the specific and seemingly obscure end up on lists with merchandisers and buyers. For Spring I am searching for the gaudiest, flowered, terry cloth robe with zipper and hood. Thought it would be cool to wear around after a dip in the pool, in the Spring in Texas. Wonder if this search will make it into the pages of Lucky. Be fun if it did...you heard it hear first, gaudy, big flowered, colorful, hooded terry robes w/zippers!
Repro Wish List:
1. Waffle iron without non-stick coating
2. Avocado green, brocade, pleated curtains
3. Two tiered,solid wood, sleek end tables (not so Modernist more late 40's, early50's)
4. Statue Lamps, you know the dancing Sanish lady, the ballerinas and exotics (not PC)
5. Said it once, say it again, re-issue Jackie O dress patterns en masse and /or put out an Audrey/Givenchy series based on what she wore in her films, EXACTLY what she wore in her films.
6. Dresses based on waitress and stewardess uniforms
7. Jacque Brel will be in the next Target commercial (heard it here first)Okay lets cover ourselves by predicting Scott Walker too, just in case. All bets on the table.
Actually, a dream job would be a one woman think tank where I just spout off the newest, hippest trends to come for ya. It could all be scientifically done or if you prefer the more esoteric, I can go by gut feelings and dreams or something.
