| | | ON TOUR | Hitchcock’s Girl Has a Car for You | | 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. | | | | |
|
| | | LIGHT, CAMERA, ACTION | Finally, Someone Made a Camera Lamp | | 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. | | | | |
|
| | | BIRD IS THE WORD | A Very Rude House Key | | 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. | | | | |
|
| | | TUMBLE BEGINNINGS | The Strangest Tumblers Ever | | 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. | | | | |
|
| | | FLYOVER STEAKS | Big News on Airplane Food | | 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. | | | | |
