The J. Peterman Company
The forgotten art of the sock monkey has been resurrected by the one and only J Peterman. Avid Seinfeld watchers will remember that Elaine worked for the enigmatic Peterman, whose velvety timbre and gift for describing an everyday cardigan was unsurpassable. Killing time on my new favourite blog the other day, I was overjoyed to discover that J Peterman actually does exist, and not only does he exist, he's online!
Only J Peterman can describe a pair of socks as "your old friend" and name a blouse the "Erogenous Zone Edwardian Blouse". Only J Peterman can provide sock monkey instructions with a pair of socks that were said to have been the sock of choice of Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso. Get online and purchase something truly remarkable - Peterman's velvety timbre will provide a pleasant soundtrack as you unearth some "uncommonly good stuff".

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
