MCM Audio Visual Fob
Yesterday, I scored this Mid- Century key chain with Audio- Visual fob. It's gold tone metal and blue enamel, with a movie projector on the lower corner.
Condition is excellent, with very minimal losses. And keys would mar the surface, which would be a shame.
While normally not one to take vintage anything apart- unless damaged beyond the point of being salvaged in some way- I can't help but think this would make a rather cheeky pendant necklace.
You know, in honor of the older, cute but painfully shy guy in high school who kissed you outside of the auditorium, circa 1993.
At least I seem to recall that he was in the AV Club (or the Magnet version). But that's a different story.
So, fair readers, I leave it up to you. Do I list this key chain in my Men's shop (insert shameless plug here: RetroHommeVintage), or do I put the fob on a short to moderate length gold chain and smirk every single time I wear it? What's this gal to do?

Updates and whatnot
Photo completely unrelated to a short and rambling blog post.
Me in high school, circa 1994. Can't remember who took this- it was a project in our photography class and he gave it to me after it was graded. My funky (and quite short) haircut outline (think Justine Frischmann of Suede and Elastica- I was lucky enough to see Elastica play their very first US gig at the original 9:30 club in DC), giant 1960s Omega watch and at least three layers of vintage tops got random guy an A+ grade. Stumbled across this while looking for a different scan but thought it was cool. Now ending the longest caption EVER. |
I've succumbed to the dreaded plague and feel all sorts of awful.
Had a fever over the weekend, in addition to a very sore throat, swollen sinuses and overall bouts of lethargy.
Feeling a bit better and am slowly returning to normal. Still sneezing, nose is chapped from repeated blowings, voice is slightly hoarse from so much coughing.
Also spending a lot of time planning the future of the Etsy team I recently took leadership of.
I've always joked about world domination through vintage clothing- now it seems within reach!
Another sign of world domination- this blog now has 200 official followers and countless (mostly because I feel too lousy to check my stats today) readers around the world. Also, I'm huge in South Korea. It's my second highest country following.
Enough for now, I'm out of tea and tissues.
I'll find that other photo for Wordless Wednesday.
Don't forget to check out my new Tumblr page, where I've challenged myself to use 30 different purses in 30 days. Non- stop excitement, I know.
No XOXO for you guys- I'm too sick. Enjoy your afternoons!
