Goods - Cool Items and Interesting Stuff
GOODS has two meanings. Firstly, it is our guide to innovative objects from Adelaide and around the world, and secondly, GOODS can't be bad. A resource for gift buyers, home-makers, scene-stealers, trend-watchers and possibly even shoplifters, GOODS isn't about making your credit card cry, it's about setting your standards high.
Lonely Hearts, LONELY Collection II
Sensible cotton undies and t-shirt bras never got a woman anywhere. Except perhaps to the prime ministerial office. (Sorry J-Gill - you say no to gay marriage, I infer you have boring underwear.) Sure there may be a world of comfort in saggy boy leg Bonds, but by no means are they appropriate attire for lolling about your abode drinking dandelion tea and arranging freshly-cut peonies in your airy loft studio.
Portland General Store
It may be gauche to admit, but I like being a man. I like smelling (a little), farting (a lot, unfortunately) drinking beer, scratching myself, and I don't mind a few holes in - or stains on - my underwear. Sorry GQ!
Hailing from lumberjack haven in the Pacific Northwest, Portland General Store make manly hygiene products for us manly men who don't want to hide our musty stench behind perfumed, chemically 'crisp' products.
Papillionaire Bicycles
(The following is an extract from a letter I wrote to my new bicycle. Don't judge me.)
Mi Amore. My sweet little Dutch-style butterfly bike. No other could hold a spoke to you. You're so cool, with your moustache (handlebars) and leathers (grips and saddles); your curvaceous frame (lugged steel) and 3-speed Shimano gears (guess that one explains itself).
Pipes
Picture this. An unremarkable elderly man sits on a leather burgundy armchair. Behind him are books, statue heads, candles... Press the snooze button, cos I'm yawning! Now picture that same scene - but the man holds a pipe. Instant classic! So cool. So refined. Pipes are like magic wands, best used to convert run-of-the-mill into rowdy random times.
Hobes
Despite the introduction of desert boots at the time of the Western Desert Campaign, a short supply meant many military personal had no option but to wear jungle boots. However, I passed the selection process through exceptional skill and was one of the lucky ones. In 1940 I was given my first pair of desert boots.
Dents woollen accessories
No disrespect friend-who-learnt-how-to-knit-last-week, I love my new 'scarf'. All seven inches of it. But I may need some back-up when it comes to protecting my extremities from the brutal Adelaide cold. I need no nonsense scarves with a super serious website. I need gloves that have seen a thousand winters.
Stephanie Makes Hamburgers
My hamburger collection includes salt and pepper shakers, a coaster set, fluffy CD case, sugar bowl and fridge magnet, so I may be a little biased about these babies. But what's not to love? Each wee, wafer-thin ingredient is hand-carved out of paper and lovingly dusted with Posca. The hard bit will be deciding which one you're licking your chops for the most.
