They have a magazine too! I somehow got a subscription to Vivre, I don't remember how anymore...but man, what that is some expensive stuff. Most of it totally useless, unless, yeah, you are really, really rich.
We're about to elect the first African-American president and she has blackamoor brooches? Is she out of her effing mind?
And she's a little late to the party on a few of those items. That graffiti dinnerware has been around for a while.
Man, I've been producing those beer bottle vases for years, had I only known.
HG, heading home tomorrow, but I've got two must-do's for you in London. The Victoria & Albert, and the Tate Modern. FAB!
I'm with Raina on the brooch.

David, I have never been to London and my daughter's going over the holidays. She's in this world-class marching band (seriously, I will post it sometime - 265-kid high school kick-ass marching band) - they've been to Rome and two Bowl games and to play for the Queen over the holidays...
Erin - Do you have that reindeer? Or is it a fish? You're too funny.
