stripes and more men's bathing suits

Have I told you about my friend Jeff? Oh, of course I have, the best road-trip companion of all time. Well, we hadn't seen each other in about a year when at a certain beach in North Carolina for Memorial Day (some of you may know what I'm talking about) I saw this tall, skinny fellow in a large striped ensemble similar to the Beatle's get-up above. The figure looked familiar. Almost like Abe Lincoln. Without the beard. I got closer and closer to this remarkably old-fashioned character only to find that it was my friend Jeff. I couldn't contain my giggles. Of course he looked like 1902. It was the highlight of my trip. Now, Jeff chose his ensemble, but something tells me that the Beatles didn't. Just a hunch.

Via Matchbox Magazine's FB, who was also kind enough to feature our royal wedding procession map yesterday. Thank you! Speaking of our map, we are currently in the process of making a beautiful letterpress/giclee print. Will let you know when you can preorder it.

This reminds me of Henri Rousseau's Football Players http://www.guggenheim.org/new-york/collections/collection-online/show-full/piece/?search=The%20Football%20Players&page=&f=Title&object=60.1583.

Love the Beatles and I love them not just for their music but also about their fashion. They wear great suits!
