A pneumatic knockout Halloween!

A swell sensation….a buxom blast….a festive fete….I can’t think of any more ol’fashioned words, axioms, aphorisms, or sayings. So I’ll just say have a splendid Halloween and enjoy an eyeful of these beauteous babes of another time. I always say Maquette is here to provide you with eye candy! Trick or treat!

These fun photos are from one of my favorite Flickr groups Vintage Halloween, mostly from this guy.

Graphic t-shirts by Bless from Hint mag and People’s Revolution

I love these simple outlined faces on mauve t-shirts by Bless. You can get them online at Hint Magazine shop or from People’s Revolution in NYC. I think they’d be a good gift too for a friend who likes cool t-shirts.

Lodis Opera Slim Purse Wallet and Urban Outfitters Hinge Wallet

I can vouch for the Lodis wallet ($90 at Amazon & $115 at ebags). I fell in love with it when I first laid eyes on it about 5 years ago. I’m still using it (same as the red one above only pink). I don’t really carry around little bags so I’m a good candidate for this one. If you are a clutch carrier this might be superfluous. I think it’s great as a carry alone or as an everyday wallet. As you can see, it has all the compartments you need.

The Urban Outfitters one is way cheaper ($20) & still very cool (I like its shiny finish). I can’t vouch for its quality though. I think their names are telling. Lodis is certainly going for ‘sophisticated’ using words like “opera” and “slim”. Urban outfitters refers to its mechanics “hinge”. Either way, both are sleek, functional and timeless.
