| |  | | 08/25/14 Bon Artist Five Things Your Bonfire Can’t Do Without This is it, friends. Last week of summer. And what better way to bid it farewell than with a bonfire. Oh, hey. Here come five things to help you have a very successful one of those. What a delightful fake coincidence. | | | |  | | | FOR SETTING THE MOOD | | Like Cologne for Your Bonfire | | | This is: A set of aromatic “holy sticks” from Imogene + Willie. So basically wooden incense.
Which is good for: Warding off evil spirits and bad vibes, according to the Incas. But they smell nice, too. We’re here to ensure an aromatically pleasant and ghost-free environment, if nothing else. | | | | | | | | |  | | | FOR MAKING SWEET, SWEET MUSIC | | Hawaii-Made. Sing-Along-Approved. | | | This is: A ukulele made of mango wood. It has a mahogany neck, a rosewood fretboard and other things that maybe don’t mean much to you.
Which is good for: Playing Israel Kamakawiwo’ole’s version of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Obviously. Is there another ukulele song? | | | | | | | | |  | | | FOR TASTING THE MARSHMALLOW RAINBOW | | You’ll Never S’more the Same Way Again | | | This is: A collection of uniquely flavored, handmade marshmallows. Flavors include: cotton candy, moscato, praline truffle, bourbon maple pecan and, like, vanilla and chocolate.
Which is good for: Making “artisanal s’mores” a thing that’s less terrible to say. | | | | | | | | |  | | | FOR STARGAZING TO YOUR FULL POTENTIAL | | There’s a Story Behind This Blanket | | | This is: A Pendleton Woolen Mills blanket inspired by the textiles developed by the remaining Seminole tribespeople in Florida.
Which is good for: Keeping warm, wrapping yourself or using as a ground cover. And it was pretty difficult not being sarcastic about explaining how to use a blanket. | | | | | | | | |  | | | FOR PLACING UNDER YOUR BODY | | You’ve Seen a Stool Before. It’s That. | | | This is: A tiny ash-wood stool that Filson made for you.
Which is good for: A tiny fireside dinner party. Or a tiny perch for lighting weird incense, playing a mango-wood ukulele, roasting artisanal marshmallows or looking at stars while wrapped in a blanket. And now the circle is complete. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |  | | | | | |  | | | If you’ve never seen Harry Houdini escape from handcuffs... that makes sense. His last act happened like 90 years ago. So make sure you catch HOUDINI, a two-night miniseries on HISTORY starring Adrien Brody as the legendary escape artist, premiering Labor Day at 9/8c. Obviously, don’t try this at home. | | | | | |
