Spotted in a store window on lower Fifth Avenue, this charming display from Pandora transforms jewelry into something straight out of a storybook. Set against a delicate paper cut-out of a grand Gilded Age–style mansion — rendered entirely in glowing shades of Pink and Red — tiny charms and necklaces become part of the architecture itself, like treasures hidden inside a miniature world.

Before ascending to the heavens, this Glass of Whiskey (1949) toured the world. In the pages of Life and Newsweek magazines, it could be seen surmounting arctic slopes, and traveling by train. It sweated deckside on a luxury liner, rode a Ferris wheel, and went sledding.

Weiner’s inability to keep it in his pants was not only personally humiliating for the married congressman, but ultimately a huge loss for the citizens he represented, as Weiner had been a passionate advocate for the people during his tenure in Congress; particularly with regard to supporting civil rights for an array of minority groups, and pleading the case for healthcare for 9/11 first responders. That he had no one but himself to blame for his situation made Weiner’s resignation a shame on all fronts. Continue reading Movie Review: Weiner, A Documentary That Fully Satisfies
Everybody and his brother has a Kickstarter campaign these days, but on occasion, one of them catches my eye. I definitely have a soft spot in my heart for The Cure, from the time of Three Imaginary Boys, even. So it’s understandable that I would be charmed by this fantastic, hand-crafted resin Bobblehead figure of Robert Smith, which represents the Cure front man at his most adorable.
