The good people of moo.com are selling these wonderfully friendly business cards for £10.99 for 50 cards. Can you imagine how amazing it would be to be handed one of these on the underground? Or in Starbucks? I just love, LOVE the sentiment… What a friendly place London would be if we all passed notes on the tube!
Increasingly it is becoming part of peoples' conciousenss that an 'accessory' is not only that which is purchased on the ground floor of a major department store - bag, gloves, scarf, headband - but runs to all the elements of our outfit that fringe the basic components of clothing.
Crucial acceossories now include:
1. A Blackberry or iPhone
Typically wearing a colourful protective outfit of its own, clutched as if the wearer can predict that at any moment a call or text of vital importance will require immediate attention and instantaneous reply.
2. A Starbucks Beverage
The contents of the Starbucks container is irrelevant. The container itself, however, speaks volumes of the wearer. A Starbucks (RED) Tumbler says 'I'm both eco-friendly and AIDs-conscious'. An ordinary Starbucks Tumbler says 'I am usually running so late that I don't have time for my absolutely essential caffeine fix'. A Starbucks take-away cup just says 'COFFEE! NOW!'
As well as having one's hands full with these items, and the traditional handbag, there is also the addition of the zeitgeist-y white headphones of an ipod, and Raybans, both of which firmly say 'Kindly, fuck off'.
And, in this, as in all things, The Olsens do it best...
