For your poison-storing needs Vinaigrettes
A trend from the late 18th and through the 19th century, vinaigrettes were small containers for smelling salts or aromatic substances dissolved in vinegar, used to cover unpleasant smells. Some were really tiny, half an inch long. They became novelty / luxury items, they were often made of silver, and came in many different shapes. They had a little sponge inside to absorb the vinegar, and sometimes a second compartment where perfume could be placed. They started going out of fashion from the 1840s.
I like the third one, that looks like a dark lantern, very roguish.

Kate Middleton Is Pretty in Pastel and Heels She Hasn’t Worn in a While
Kate Middleton has a trusty collection of nude pumps that she rotates for public appearances, but on Thursday she brought out a pair we haven’t seen her wear in some time.

Bennett pumps and an Etui Bags woven clutch. Middleton was in Luxembourg — sans husband Prince William — to commemorate the 1867 Treaty of London and is attending several events celebrating the cultural ties between the U.K. and Luxembourg (a very small European country surrounded by Belgium, France and Germany). Middleton met Luxembourg’s Grand Duchess Stephanie, who accompanied her to the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art to see an exhibit from British artists Sir Tony Cragg and Darren Almond. Stephanie looked striking in her outfit as well, opting for a bright red wrap coat with ruffle detail and camel-colored suede pumps.

#UnterWeißen #5: #Nafri-Gedanken in Berlin-Kreuzberg
Mitten in Kreuzberg setzt ein junger Mann mit Bart seine schwere Tasche ab. Es ist Hochsommer. Bloß keine Last zu viel auf den Schultern. Doch dieser schwarze Rucksack, er ist besonders. In großen weißen Lettern steht darauf: „This bag contains a bomb!“ Darunter: stilisierte, angezündete TNT-Stangen, so wie wir sie aus den Zeichentrickfilmen von Road Runner und Karl der Kojote kennen.
Das Telefon des bärtigen Mitzwanzigers klingelt. Der Soundtrack von „Spiel mir das Lied vom Tod“ ertönt aus seiner Hosentasche. Er geht ran, verliert sich im Gespräch, entfernt sich langsam vom nun herrenlosen Objekt. Zwei Streifenpolizisten werden auf die Tasche aufmerksam. Sie liegt an einer Sitzbank angelehnt, im Hintergrund spielen Kinder im Sandkasten. Die Körper der Sicherheitsbeamten nehmen eine wachsame Position ein.
Diese Szene dauert weniger als eine Minute, doch sie sagt viel über unsere Gesellschaft aus. Denn als sich der – seinem Akzent nach – englische Berlinbesucher wieder umdreht, die acht Meter zurück zu seinem Rucksack läuft, schaut er die Polizisten verdutzt an. „Even in the airports they never say something“, sagt er. Alle lachen laut. „Der sieht ja auch nicht so aus“, resümieren die Beamten und laufen routinemäßig weiter ihre Streife.
Was wäre passiert würde ich diesen Rucksack bei mir tragen? Ihn vielleicht mal absetzen? Mich langsam von ihm entfernen? Auf dem schwarzen Etui meines Richtmikrofons, das ich für die Arbeit auch mal mit auf Reisen nehme, steht in großen weißen Lettern: „Gunshot“. An diversen europäischen Flughäfen schnüffelten mich deswegen Hunde ab. Es wurde nach Schmauchspuren auf meinen Händen, in meinen Haaren, auf meinen Socken gefahndet. Ein Sicherheitsbeamter sagte zu mir am Flughafen München: „Gerade SIE sollten so etwas nicht transportieren.“
Was ist der Unterschied zwischen mir und Charles Junior aus London? Es ist die Hautfarbe – aber vor allem die Haltung der Gesellschaft dazu.
Mein Buch „Unter Weißen – Was es heißt, privilegiert zu sein“ ist hier (vor-)bestellbar: http://amzn.to/2irvYDb (oder in der Buchhandlung Ihres Vertrauens erhältlich). Bis zum Erscheinungstermin im Februar 2017 und darüber hinaus gibt es mit dem Hashtag #UnterWeißen gratis Zugaben auf Tumblr, Facebook und Twitter.
