A question
Jan. 26th, 2009 09:42 pmHas anyone ever made a Slytherin "I love the sexy slither of a lady snake" icon?
I've recently gotten quite into arts-and-crafts/reclaimed items style jewellery (in the last year, really). There's a woman I particularly like who I think I've mentioned called Alys Power. Well, that's her designer name. She's made jewellery with among other things clock faces/parts, swallow dive designs and keys. A few weeks ago I noticed in Accessorise that they had a necklace with a swallow dive design on it. Today I went into Topshop and noticed on their jewellery range, as well as neon beads and rosaries, jewellery with clocks, swallow dive designs and keys on them. I don't know quite what to make of it. Either Topshop are taking their ideas from a local jewellery designer in Nottingham, or she's somehow designing for Topshop, or they're both getting their ideas from another source. Or - England has just got clock, swallow dive and key fever. I don't know. It's a bit odd.
Sadly, the not-quite-as-good things in Topshop are slightly more affordable than the originals I like better, which are about £50 each. If I could afford jewellery at all at the moment. Still. It's a bit annoying.
I went to see Frost/Nixon last night. It was great. New songvid-I-probably-won't-make idea: film!Nixon to "You Know I'm No Good".
