Threadless is having a sale on at the moment. If you know how much I love little red riding hood, it should come as no surprise that my pick is this  “RED” tee. Though I must admit, it’s the Shiba Inu in the pic that won it for me, so foxy!

Bonds seem to have taken over the reins from Just Jeans and Portmans in having brilliant music dependent ads. One of their most recent ones is this fun Kaleidoscope commercial:

It features “Marina Gasolina” from Brazilian group, Bonde do Rolê from their album With Lasers.

Office Boy has also been seen doing the rounds on ABC’s Rage, and their record company has nicely provided an embeddable YouTube for us:

Listen to more on their MySpace.

…at least on this blog, recently. See, even Kitty loves the red cape. What a fashionable cat.

You can check out more catty fashion at My Cat Wears Clothes.

I do like this version by the Clef Hangers (the video is set to Teen Titans for some reason?!).

Stupid catchy song. Which is a good excuse as any to find more pics of little red riding hoods!

So retro!

So classic

These two I think are brilliant! They’re both french… stupid talented french people.

Kate Sylvester’s centerpiece item in her Wolf winter 2007 collection was a little red riding hood. Hers is super cool, but the one in my head (I WILL make it someday, I even wrote it on a list…) is a lot less full. I think it would also make a dishy raincoat with wellies!

While I was looking for the Lil’ Red Riding Hood clips, I also found this cute tee by Famous Forever, love the cut but it is not cheap (24.99 quid)…

The Bargain Queen posted up a nifty hooded red coat from DKNY. While I’d love a full fairytale hooded red wool cape (must add that to my to-make list!), what’s so nice about this is that it only hints at the storybook so remains perfectly respectable and ever so wearable. It’s the sort of thing that brightens not only your winter day but I’d hope, anyone else with imagination who might happen to chance upon you. Would definitely snatch it up if it were in my size and they would deliver to Australia.

The thought of hoods couldn’t help but remind me of the soooo wonderful Bonds hoodie ad (by The Campaign Palace) with Sarah O’Hare/Murdoch (can’t remember which she was when they made it) with Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs’ “Lil’ Red Riding Hood“.

The unadulterated song…

And a cover by Bowling for Soup set to anime!

And YouTuber Brooke’s really rather rather good version (she has a website):

I’ve only been known to wear the hood up on jackets when it’s really really cold, and really really cold it is. In fact it is freezing in Sydney (was it the coldest June on record?). Cut Out + Keep’s adorable hood ears would make it a lot more tempting to bring up the hood even when the weather gets warmer. Maybe I can sew them on Andrew’s black hoodie when he’s not looking?!

See aren’t they just the best:

The creator of my favourite web comic EVER – Beaver and Steve – has just submitted his first Threadless submission which I imagine has something to do with this moth story arc. Anyway, vote for him, it’s all in a good cause (so I can get a Beaver and Steve Threadless tee!).

Diana Eng*, Emily Albinski and Audrey Roy won the top Yahoo Hack Day prize with a project called Blogging In Motion which “combined a camera, a handbag, a pedometer and the Flickr API to create a device that takes a picture after every few steps and then automatically blogs those pictures.” The most amazing thing is that they haven’t got some stupid team name and they haven’t made a glamour calendar (yet). Wow, women can be involved with computers and still be relatively normal!

*I think she was a contestant on Heidi Klum’s Project Runway (a reality show where fashion designers vie for some fashion design prize, it was pretty funny).

Ugly Dress.com – Bridesmaid Dresses From Hell is an “archive of the world’s worst Bridesmaids dresses. Contained within are photographic proof of some of the dresses that our friends, the brides, have made us wear so that they could look good.”

Worth visiting for the great dress titles including “Married in a Whorehouse” and “Pole Dancer Pink”.
