3D Notepad
RB: Can we write a 3D review within a 2D template?
NS: We aren't writing in 3D. We're just reviewing the 3D experience, in 2D... hmm.
RB: But will people be able to get a feel for the experience? I mean, reading this now, everyone is probably going "ho hum". But if they were wearing the glasses and I was writing this on a 3D drawing pad, they would be like "HOLY CRAP.
Etat Libre D'Orange perfumes
Got a score to settle with your Nan? Need to deodorise your car? Why not get a bottle of Hotel Slut? Etat Libre D'Orange perfumes are either cashed-up punk like Vivienne Westwood, or try-hard punk like Richard Branson when he reminds people how he used to hang out with Malcolm McLaren.
Choose from aromas such as ‘Don't Get Me Wrong Baby, I Don't Swallow' and ‘Jasmine and Cigarette' - which receives the ThreeThousand prize for best Frenglish blurb.
Wax letter seals
There is nothing more regal or romantic than a wax sealed letter. Jane Austen tried countless times to come up with the literary equivalent, and despite coming close even she couldn't quite match it. They say wax seals are as old as writing itself, apparently they were used by the Pharaohs to keep correspondence top secret.
Kate Sylvester Flying Hat
It may seem slightly ridiculous to even consider spending $129 on a hat with cute pom-poms... but then you think about it again... it's a Kate Sylvester hat - no it's a Kate Sylvester flying hat with pom-poms! And you're only young once, yata-yata. 8 out of 10 of us will look ridiculous in this hat, but will still be tempted for obvious reasons - how can you not love this Amelia Earhart-esque concoction?
Pants & Pies sale, ACT II
After the roaring success of last Saturday's ‘Pants & Pies' sale, James Cameron presents ACT II this weekend. Vintage wash denim, Japanese corduroy, English wools, flannel trousers, and free pies.
Be among your fellow men as you peruse the pants and avail yourself of pastries. Likely your pushy girlfriend will be put off by the carb-heavy snacks, so you will be free to hang out asking gay questions such as ‘does my butt poke out too much?', ‘should this be more tapered in the ankle?' and ‘do you have BBQ sauce?'

Vivienne Westwood for Melissa
Artistic collaborations are a pretty sweet thing. Matthew Barney and Björk, Andy Warhol and Lou Reed... Starbucks and Sonic Youth.
'Anglomania' is the love child of one such collaboration, between the queen of punk, Ms Vivienne Westwood, and the cult of Brazilian footwear, Melissa - also the brains behind the original jelly sandal invented in '79.
Rainer
Fat, purveyor of all things very black and drapey and skinny, have finally released their long-awaited house brand, Rainer. The label's first collection is called 'Teutoburg Forest', which refers to a battleground where the German tribes unexpectedly defeated a headstrong Roman army in the year 9 AD.
