What Kind of Dog is That?

“What Kind of Dog is That?”

People with dogs must get tired of answering that question all the time. Today’s busy dog owner has better things to do than repeat statements like “It’s a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel” (that’s a mouthful) or “It’s a French Bulldog” to random passers by. But, ignoring them would just be rude.

Enter Dog ID Tees. Put doggy’s details right on your chest so you don’t have to repeat them. Now you can concentrate on that important tweet, text, email, or phone conversation rather than talking to strangers.

Bud Hat

This hat is interests me primarily because a good friend of my father had one just like it. Granted, it was circa 1974 when he wore his, so it was more in line with the style at the time. But really, this chapeau is timeless, isn’t it?

If you’re interested, this modern version can be purchased from Supreme.

I wonder if someone can put their hands on a picture of Pete wearing his Bud Hat?

Another Fashion Trend (for the health conscious)

Or should it be Another Health Trend (for the fashion conscious)? Don’t ask me why, but protective devices that are marketed as fashion accessories intrigue me. Darren points out that some women are wearing massive sun visors around Vancouver. He speculates that it might be some sort of post-SARS reaction.

If it is in fact related to SARS, perhaps the wearers of these visors would be interested in a color coordinated face mask. If someone could find some stylish fire and puncture resistant gloves one could sport a real “Urban area survival” ensemble.

Healthy and Stylish

Where was Bézenville when gas masks were a hot item in New York a few months ago? These are much more stylish than anything you’ll find down at the Spy Shop. I think my favorite is the “decapotable” model.

Unfortunately it does not appear that there are any retailers in the US. The Parisians are a step ahead of us in the fashion department yet again. However, if you really want to be a trendsetter, you can buy one online.

très magnifique…
