Porsche, Baby!!
Holy guacamole! Porche P'4911 baby stroller is hitting the tracks!! Features like "a unique mix of materials such as carbon fiber, aluminum, leather, ball-bearing wheels" etc. have got me thinking about the old Porsche saying: "You can live in your car, but you can't race your house". :)
While Porsche has had a nice little repertoire of children's gear and toys for quite some time now, this piece of realistic road-gear definitely takes consumers to a whole new racetrack!
I have to say, it was interesting waking up to this email after all that Missoni-for-Target craziness yesterday got me thinking all about vanity-insanity... My first thought was how awfully drastic our consumer industry has become. But after thinking about it a little longer, I came to the conclusion that the more significant point made here is where we, as housewives and homemakers, stand in today's society: we're coming in first, baby! Sports cars used to be for the single, the financially independent (and irresponsible), the lonely thrill-seekers, the young and the restless etc. But after the production of models like the Cayenne, Panamera (not to mention this!!) and now the stroller (!!) - the genius behind Porsche has got me smiling about where women today have come to - they're mothers. And badass ones, at that! :)
Missoni for Target
One more day, girls!! [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSDWlAZ9kA4&feature=related]
I'm especially looking forward to snagging an iconic zigzag knit baby blanket, much like this one.
Retro Freeze
Can't hardly believe the heat today!! So much for happily heading into autumn...
After a cooler-than-usual Sunday at the beach, and a sudden torrential downpour Sunday evening, I seriously thought the summer heat waves have made their way out yonder. But standing over my kitchen elements today - with no window breeze whatsoever! - frying up Zucchini Fritters with Freida forced me into freezer fest oblivion. Gone were thoughts of garlic spiked sour cream dolloped onto a neat little stack of hot crispy fritters! I dived head first into the cooler treats below freezing; we're now moving on from paper popsicles to their actual frozen forms - retro stylin'.
Stay chilly, my friends.
Dresser De-stresser
While this really only works for very modern homes and families, there's no denying any ol' child would love to get busy sorting laundry with one of these! Pre-school classrooms have long been using a method of photo recognition, and more specifically "shadow labeling" i.e. icons, for clean-up time and organizational purposes. Young children seem to learn at a heightened level via visual processing. Coined the Training Dresser by designer Peter Bristol, this locally crafted wooden wonder has me wanting!
