Hello-Hello…
It is time for Friday Fun, and we begin with a look at one of favorite bloggers, Miss Techyness:
Clearly this ever-so-smart young lady (she is scary smart) is studying (ahem) the technical merits (not) of the Lilly Pulitzer Jeep, part of the company’s Golden Anniversary celebrations. Miss Techyness was visiting the Pink Paddock Lilly store, and was good enough to send us some photos of her shopping trip! Miss Techyness moves to Houston next week, and we think she desperately needs the Jeep to better handle the warmer climate.

Now we move a less tasteful topic, something a little more nouveau gauche. This next photo submission has us close to convulsions here at the Prepatorium, symptoms of a brutal attack of LogoPhobia.
Yes, it is the Burberry plaid used in a car interior, brought to our attention by the ever-vigilant Miss Daisy. She spotted it on the streets of Chicago and felt it important to share it with the LogoPolice.
It is not however, as hideous as this Vauxhall seen on the far side of the Pond.
This actually belonged to a radio station in the UK, encountered an unfortunate end and then allegedly surfaced on eBay.
But when considering the range of Hideosity on the Logo-om-uh-ter (pronounced log-ahm-uh-tur, the first o is silent. Of course.) it pales compared to this:

Actually, we find these all quite entertaining and not to be taken seriously, TP is possessed of a sense of humor, despite all evidence to the contrary.

Images and conversation about logo insanity provided entertainment today, and a much-needed smile.
For after all, it is a day we have come to loath, a day when horror on the east coast…

And the more it sank in…

The less real it became…
… as brains tried to wrap themselves around images that were incomprehensible.

But sometimes it helps to know others remember too.

The sand sculpture was spotted on a beach in India, a reminder grief knows no geographic boundaries.

Goosebumps. And incipient tears.
Fitting tribute and reminder.
Although I see those pictures almost everyday they still send a shiver up my spin and give me goosebumps. I love the last one. It’s nice to know that people outside NY/NJ/DC/PA and beyond this country remember too.
Wonderful pictures. Brings back so much and so hard to look at…
Very moving images in your tribute. Well done. As always.
11S, 11M, 10J always in ours minds. we don’t forget.
What a nice remembrance. Thank you for that.
On a silly note, the Louis Vuitton house is beyond words. Logo mania is a bit out of control.
We all know my feelings on logos.
What a beautiful tribute. As someone who was personally affected by 9/11 being from that area I love all of the wonderful things people did yesterday in the memory of those who were there.
Beautiful post on 9/11, TP. Beautiful.
I laughed when I saw the Burberry car seats. That is either incredibly vulgar or someone has a HUGE sense of humor. Can’t decide which. Last year in Italy (I think I told you this), I saw a Fendi stroller. I almost lost my biscotti on that one!
Have a great weekend!
Good tribute. Thanks.
oh my gosh, those prints are so funny! I only like the Lily one!
Your tribute is so moving, Miss Preppy Princess. Your words are perfect. xoxo
The LV emblazoned casa should be burnt to the ground.
After its been evacuated of its tasteless owners, of course.
Hope you had a gorgeous weekend, TP!
Lovely tribute. And logo-mania, oh my!
OMG that LV house is insane! Great post on 911 too.
To this day I won’t buy Tommy H bc in the 90’s his stuff was all about the giant logo. Remember all the shirts with Tommy in giant letters across the front?
