Sneaky trip into the Adidas Employee Store!
Earlier this week I had fun visiting with my friend Steve on the US Adidas campus in Portland, OR. He’s a sportswear designer and scooterist and just flashed his badge to be ushered into the golden temple of goodness and discounts. He pointed out all the new gear that’s come out from the Adidas-Vespa mash-up which apparently was not just a one season thing – good news for us! (Thanks Steve. That was fun.)
Something for your beach bag?
A paperback with a blue small (?) frame on it is always welcome. Only available used. Here’s a description:
Dave and Andy are two classmates from a strict Catholic School in 70s London. Dave is desperate to escape his stifling Irish home life and Andy the cultural trappings of his traditional Polish family. Both dream of opportunities afforded to the strangers on the silver screen. And by chance, they end up working part-time in their local cinema in Notting Hill. They soon discover that being heroes of their own lives and impressing the stars on the ground is a challenge. They embark on a voyage of discovery far more exciting than anything they’ve seen on film. But when the cinema is threatened with closure, they realise that more than their new found freedom is at risk!
Thanks to Julie G. for this find!
This Week’s Rare Bit O’Swag: Paul Frank Scooter Dress
Here’s Vancouver (Washington) scooterist Jillian modeling her uber-rare Paul Frank dress with pink and blue scooters on it. She bought it at a sample sale several years ago and I have NEVER seen this one anywhere. Honestly! Some girls have all the luck. ; )
New Fall Catalogs (with scooter action!)
You would think scooters are more a “summery” photoshoot thing but both Title Nine (top) and Athleta (below) had their models too busy with surf boards earlier this year. These catalogs arrived in the mail last week and the week before.
For the dog days of summer.
Here’s a top for the hottest days of summer that just happens to feature a pink cat.
Japanese (?) Pink Panther tank top for $21 on Amazon. (Type in “Pink Panther Scooter” in their search to see all of the styles.)
Thanks to Julie G. for this find!
Collector’s Corner: Alan Dollar in the US
Alan Dollar has been featured in Scoot! Magazine (Summer 2003 – #24) and has an amazing collection that spans all matter of toys and postcards and ephemeral materials. He has photos of everything up on his site — so much fun to look through!
