Kimmer and Rsj

I even heard a fan tell Michael that Tony Soprano was wrong to kill him off in the SUV like he did!!! LOL How exciting to see Michael in person. He was so gracious and patient with his many fans...(myself included)


Rick Ruiner Michael Imperioli and Nina Friday

Rick Ruiner lead vocalist of The Ruiners.... invited Kimmer to the VIP party and we were so happy to come out to support Them! I tried for a week to obtain a photo pass.... Heard the Fillmore was a tough venue to crack but finally Wednesday morning I got a hold of Joe Gough and then Kimmer was dialed in!! Thank you Rick and Joe!



I had not been to the Fillmore in Detroit.... when it was the State Theater yes back in the day yes.... It is still a gorgeous theater.. It was so much fun to see my readers and friends there! More fun for me was to have my close friend Rikki St James, Guitarist Glenn Dean of the Motor City Bad Boys and my favorite tall blonde Sheila K (Glenn's wife) . Hadn't seen them all summer so it was such a great reunion.

It was a crazy room! I was trying to shoot photos of the attendees and Ovation members but it is was just too mobbed.

[New post] The undersea battle continues in Star Wars the Clone Wars this Friday

The undersea battle continues in Star Wars the Clone Wars this Friday

Official press release below:

The battle for Mon Calamari escalates in the conclusion to an epic Star Wars: The Clone Wars three-part story arc


In "Prisoners," the must-see conclusion to the epic two-part season opener of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, all appears lost as the Republic army and its allies the Gungans have been captured by Riff Tamson and his seemingly invincible Karkarodon forces. The future looks as murky as the turbulent undersea battlefields of Mon Calamari, but there still are holdouts. Now all depends on Ahsoka Tano helping young Prince Lee-Char find the internal strength to unite the fractured races of his planet to drive out the Separatist invaders in a pulse-pounding battle airing at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT Friday, September 23rd on Cartoon Network.

Seventies Style Jacqueline Dress from Monsoon

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 10:50 AM PDT

95313525_m1
Channel Margo from The Good Life with this burnt orange seventies style Jacqueline Dress from Monsoon.

The seventies influence is heavy on the high street this season but you'd be hard pushed to find something more wearable than this. It's a flattering wrapover style with tie fastening. The sleeves have a great shape thanks to detailing on the shoulder seam and the mid-length skirt has plenty of swish. Accessorize with a wide brimmed felt hat, print scarf and some gold hoops.

The dress costs £70 from Monsoon here.

The latest addition to the Liberty Art Fabrics Collection is a rather unlikely collaboration with Hello Kitty.

The iconic Japanese feline features on a new range of eight fabrics in a range of different styles. Apple Tree features a new interpretation of a design that dates from 1934 whilst Kitty Town, pictured, shows all of Kitty's family and friends in an English village setting.

This is just the first taste of Hello Kitty at Liberty. Later this month a whole line of new products will be available, including stationery, cosmetics, bags, umbrellas and more.

eBay watch: 1970s Zastava 750 car - a super-size Fiat 500

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 06:48 AM PDT

We've featured a few Fiat 500s on this site in the past (old and modern versions), but not a Zastava 750, which is effectively a larger version of one.

Here's the lowdown. The car is a Fiat 600D, made under licence by Zastava in the former Yugoslavia in the 1970s and packing a 767cc engine. It's a strange beast, not unlike a VW Beetle from some angles, but far more scarce than that particular vehicle on British roads.

This model dates from 1974 and has 52,000 in the clock. According to the owner it is 'extremely reliable', with an MOT lasting until March 2012. Plenty of money spend on it over the years (see the listing for the breakdown of that), with parts from a Fiat 600 doing the job, should that be a worry.

Zat2

But it isn't perfect. The bodywork and paint are described as 'very presentable' rather than perfect, with some evidence of past repairs visible too. You'll probably need to do some work on the interior too.

If that sounds fine with you, it's on at a fixed price right now of £2,200.

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 06:43 AM PDT

Il_570xN_248300510 
TheQ Gifts takes its name from the English love of waiting in line, but there is more to the English than that as their range of prints shows.

A city gent's bowler hat and umbrella, a cricket bat and ball, a phone box, a vintage telephone, striped deckchair, traditional pram and, of course, a crown, are other symbols of English life that are used in TheQ's illustrations. The floral print that completes each illustration is taken from a vintage fabric design. The prints are available in three sizes: large (43.5 x 53.5cm) £29.50, medium (38 x 30.5cm) £21.50 or small (33 x 28cm) £16.50.

Bo Nest of Tables

Nest of tables often aren't considered to be the most sophisticated furniture, but the Bo Nest of Tables from John Lewis could go some way to making them as desirable as they are practical.

This nest consists of two tables, each with splayed oak legs and  MDF tops in colours that very much from a 1950s palette. Pictured here is the unusual combination of tangerine and slate, with other options being putty/oyster and quince/archer (a greenish yellow and blue-grey).

A nest of two tables costs £129 from John Lewis.

Eyre day bed from Habitat

Posted: 21 Sep 2011 03:20 AM PDT

Eyre

Part of the new collection at Habitat, this Eyre day bed looks like a modernist design. 

When we say a modernist design, we're thinking specifically the day bed version of Mies van der Rohe's Barcelona seating: padded leather with a minimalistic frame. Okay, while this version uses fauxleather rather than the real thing, and is built on a much sturdier looking base, if you're after the look on more a limited budget, it's certainly worth a look. 

The day bed costs £700.

Beacon collection coffee table from Bark Furniture

Bark table

Cast your mind back and you may remember the name Bark Furniture: we showed you their retro style of their seating before. They've just launched their new Beacon collection and it's full of unusual gems, such as this coffee table

This low coffee table has a great shape, and is made from ash. Adding to the retro look is the black walnut inlay of the Bark motif which runs down the length of the table. 

Designed to become a much-loved piece of furniture, the price of the table reflects this. It's priced at an investment worthy £1095.
