Blog - Chair Blog

Wow, I had no idea you can write so much about chairs. There are alot of interesting ones. Many of them are art. There are also chairs designed by famous architectural designer. What is a blog without pictures? My favorite categories are the "chair art", "armhair", "baby chair" (check out the stylish baby lounger), "chair" and the "bench".

Blog - St. Mexican Vintage Ads

A blog in Spanish with Mexican ads. I don't speak nor read Spanish, but I can tell you the ads are interesting and cool. Many of them are American products. I think that some of them are American ads in a Spanish but I am not certain. It's nice to see ads in other languages.

Smoking Is Bad But The Cards Are Cool

These are cigarette cards from the NYPL Digital Library that date back to the 19th century to early 20's century when the nicotine's harm was not widely known yet. The alphabetical list is huge and is due to the large amount of cards not to mention the number of the themes that are featured. They are so different from each other too. Whoa! Some examples of how different they are: Kings and Queens of England, Kodak, Jockeys, Kensitas Flowers, Indian women, Happy family, Fables of Aesop, Henry and The Inns of Court. I have not seen them all, but so far I really liked the "Famous Building" series. To learn about the history of these cards click on the second or third link below (they are both the same url).
