Who’s blog-famous? We’re blog-famous!
At least Chris and I are. He’s interviewed on Podbop, and I’m profiled on Offbeat Bride. I’m also in the Offbeat Bride book, too….
Obi-Wan Kenobi cloak rediscovered
[Adam says:]
Personally, I think garments’ lost travels are more interesting than the post cards you sometimes see of a garden gnome traveling the world:
The cloak worn by Sir Alec Guinness in Star Wars has been rediscovered after nearly three decades.
After Guinness wore the garment for his role as Obi-Wan Kenobi, it was returned to British costume firm Bermans. The cloak was subsequently loaned to other films including 1999′s The Mummy, and even hired out as fancy dress.
It was identified in a stock check earlier this year and now forms part of a film memorabilia exhibition at the Harrods department store in London.

Well, I know what I’ll be getting for next Solstice in my tucker bag.
happy new year, nantes style
As Jaime would say, “Sweet Nantes!”
Hundreds of protesters in France have rung in the New Year by holding a light-hearted march against it.
Parodying the French readiness to say “non”, the demonstrators in the western city of Nantes waved banners reading: “No to 2007″ and “Now is better!”
The marchers called on governments and the UN to stop time’s “mad race” and declare a moratorium on the future.
Happy New Year, everyone!
