Want to Buy Me a Gift?

August 18, 2009 by WendyB

I would like this Salvador Dali “Bird in Hand” compact. It reminds me of some of my more complicated jewelry pieces. It’s only $3,800, so what are you waiting for?

I would also gladly accept this vintage Moschino faucet jacket.

    That compact is beautiful…and my “blog birthday” is coming up…maybe I can convince someone that I deserve extravagant gifts for such a monumental milestone. Hmmmmm….if I get two I promise to re-gift one to you 😉

    Wow! You have to beg borrow or steal that compact! I collect compacts, but that one makes my little collection look very sad indeed!

    I would like the compact also thankyouplz.

    I would buy it to if not for the pesky fact that I wouldn’t be able to pay my rent for, oooh, about 4 months in order to afford it *sigh*

    I’ve never seen anything quite like the compact.

    Regarding the jacket…I don’t think I’d want rotating handles so close to my chichis!

    Both are fabulous but you know, with the economy and all, Miss J can’t swing either this month. Instead she will buy Miss Wendy a drink on Wednesday night. See you shortly after 9. Looking forward to finally meeting!

    Only $3,800? Almost nothing right? lol

    Under $4,000 for a Dali? Includes pillbox and lipstick holder? Bargain. Imagine the party convos.

    August 18, 2009 at 3:45 pm

    The combination of fabulousness and pure magic here is just incalculable. Also, it looks awesomely heavy. Like all things were before advanced polymers were invented.

    Hey fabulous jewelry designer–why don’t you make your own?! Seriously: wouldn’t that be a great niche market?!

    August 18, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    I am lusting after that compact! Sadly, I just blew all my money on plane tickets, and what is left is for back to school shopping.

    August 19, 2009 at 1:37 pm

    I love it! Someone really needs to buy it for you!

    Or you can buy it and expense it as ‘research’ for a new jewelry piece???

  35. xtina says

    August 19, 2009 at 2:37 pm

    That’s such a cool looking blazer! 🙂 I like the collar and LOVE your blog! I just came across it and it’s fun.

    And yay for LA! Wish I could be there all the time but I’m heading there this weekend…except it’s for Disneyland!

    That’s probably the best compact ever. I love how it’s not flat like an average one. The Moschino blazer is undeniable.

  37. Adela says

    August 19, 2009 at 4:46 pm

    its very pretty! i love your blazer! =)

    That compact is nice, but I’ve always had a thing for the mouth pin with the pearl teeth….I’m gonna ask for it on my Suicide Girls’s wishlist!

    How did you know that I have just broken my sister’s compact and now have no mirror? Scary stuff.
