Half gloves and soda can hair setters

Well. I have been watching lady Gaga videos and although I just say the video is just rubbish, I actually quite like the gloves. To save you the excruciating horror of watching that 9 min video, I found a screensho

and here is a close up without the person

There isa whole blog dedicated to aspcts frm this see it at GagaFashionland. Read more about this from video from the Guardian.
Apparently, these are called half hand gloves and there are even links of where to get them. I did not even bother to click these links because it is probably going to be some faraway place that doesn't deliver to England and will probably cost a bucket of money so I dreged on ebay instead. I found this.

I will definitely look into buying some of these.I have seen these gloves before though, years ago, in a Jennifer Lopez video. I did a little bit of searching and turns out I was right! It's in the Play video

You can see them about 1.59 seconds into the video. I also like the coke can hair setters. Something beautifully primal and ultra American about that. Apparently she liked it too as she didn't only wear it on set but left her house wearing it.

Apart from her, I tried to find some other people wearing it

or here

If I hadn't already got curly hair, I would have ran out to try this. There were more dicussions of back in the 70's and what my grandma use to wear.
I'll put some links here, but I don't know how long they will stay live for

A Fork Ring

I am irresistibly drawn to jewelery made of cutlery. I can't explain why.
I like jewelery but I find it wasteful and excessive. I love scraps and botched bits and pieces. I have never like the scent of a new car or unwrapping layers from a package. Instead I like discovering treasures in Junk.
So finding jewelery that is essentially junk pulls me in in a crazy way.
I found these while browsing on Etsy but somehow they were not exactly what I wanted.

I found some Spoon rings as well, which apparently was what British servants were using as wedding rings as they couldn't afford to buy them. I find that heartbreakingly and amazingly touching. I'm opposed to marriage in principle but seriously, if a guy went down on one knee and held out a box made of cardboard and felt with that ring inside, I would probably say yes. :)

Here is another store I like as well.

He has tons of amazing stuff, this is one of my favourites




I'm going to order one of these but I am still making up my mind. Hope none of them get sold before I decide.


So I googled and found a wealth of sites, here are some of my favourites.
