Friday Ephemera
Baby bangs. // The clap-off bra. When time is short. // The $6 foot-long black hotdog. // Ways to say “beer.” // A brief history of wiretapping. // Swing of note. // Japanese schoolgirl with an electromechanical exoskeleton. // How to make slime. // Waterspout, Florida. // How clothes should fit. // Cat wedding, 1914. // Alfred Hitchcock explains the MacGuffin. // It’s a law, like gravity. // Attention UFO enthusiasts. // New York’s summer of ’69. // A stylish radiophonograph. // Frank Zappa plays the bicycle. (h/t, Coudal) // Piglet, ice cream and parasol. // And Kate reminds us why San Francisco’s public transport is second to none.
The baby wigs are slightly disturbing. It’s the thought someone out there buys them.
Japanese schoolgirl with an electromechanical exoskeleton.
Why does that make me laugh? And why do I expect “Rule 34” to be invoked?
mlrosty,
The baby wigs are slightly disturbing.
But they’re “the perfect choice for casual or dressy occasions.”
Spiny Norman,
And why do I expect “Rule 34” to be invoked?
Hey, I just compile these things in a spirit of high-minded curiosity and/or mild bemusement. I leave the fetishistic subtext to others.

The clap-off bra.
Not to be worn at concerts then. Or anywhere people clap.
Did The Clapper ever make it to the UK?

What does Laurie Penny think about the Clap-off bra?
Something for the ephemera:
WTF… is it Cthulhu?
The $6 foot-long black hotdog.
No. Just no.
Something for the ephemera:
“Kraken! Kraken!” 😀

Frank Zappa plays the bicycle.
Wow. In return, Jimmy Page plays skiffle. Aged thirteen.
