GOODS has two meanings. Firstly, it is our guide to innovative objects from Brisbane and around the world, and secondly, GOODS can't be bad. A resource for gift buyers, home-makers, scene-stealers, trend-watchers and possibly even shoplifters, GOODS isn't about making your credit card cry, it's about setting your standards high.
Tuthilltown Spirits
I don't often have house guests. They eat my food, stink up the place, complain about the music, and forget to use coasters. P'shaw! Plus, I have to put pants on when they're over. So screw you house guests!
It's a shame though. The Tuthilltown Spirits in my cupboard would surely impress company.
Zero Selon's Fadwatch #3: Ant Farm
Ant farms (or formicariums, if your dad is a scientist) are not new. They are, however, on the cusp of being shit-hot right now. The enduring appeal of the ant farm is proven by the ongoing popularity of the (now irrelevant) George Orwell novel of the same name.
An ant farm is simply a sand-filled vivarium with glass on either side so you can clearly observe your prisoners.
Zero Selon's Fadwatch #2: Crazybandz
I got my hands on some Crazybandz today! These are so popular in NYC right now; public schools are working on a district-wide ban. I have been hunting these puppies all over Asia, like grenades hunt the cast of Jersey Shore. I finally found them at Freedom House in Chiang Mai, a school for orphans and hill tribe kids from around the Northern Thai region.
Matina Amanita Autumn Winter 2010
If unicorns were to have tiny, gem-encrusted jewellery boxes, they'd probably be full-to-overflowing with Matina Amanita's latest range of stardusted neckpieces, spacerock rings, and earrings draping straight from heaven itself.
And, if Princess Unicorn, living in a miniature palace off the Moonlight Express, were to paw through and sigh, 'Oh, what bit of whimsy shall I ice myself with today? This bedevilled black pearl number? This charming likeness of cousin Raziele-le-le? This darling rose ring?.
Soap Controllers
Have you got a girlfriend who always hassles you to do stuff besides play video games? Does she ask you to do crazy things like 'show her some affection'? 'Wash the dishes'? Or (sharp intake of breath) even wash yourself?
If you'd like these requests to end in a manner that doesn't involve your lovely girlfriend yanking the power cord from the console and beating you with it, consider getting a hold of one of Third Drawer Down's video game controller soaps.
Malmo Chinos
There comes a time in every man's life when he realises that ‘change' is unavoidable - we're talking about a change in pant wear. For whatever reason, whether it's due to current trousers being too old, too tight or too worn - the decision to throw away these slacks in effort to becoming a sharper, more finely dressed individual is risky business.
The ABC of Men's Fashion
Hardy Amies' greatest achievement is himself. Hardy Amies was a man. Hardy Amies was a spy, as well as a couturier who organised a Vogue photo shoot right after bringing down the Nazis. Hardy Amies wrote this book for the young man, why? Because amongst other things he wants you to trust zip fasteners.
