#Transport Tuesday

[mjalford98]

Meet Anthony, the retro van serving as a mobile museum. I met him while walking around the town on my visit there a few weeks ago, and needless to say, I think he's a cracking idea. Of course, it would be great to see a real vintage vehicle serving in that sort of capacity rather than plinthed up somewhere, but hey, at least he's showing us such ideas aren't so mad after all, and classic vehicles whose age wouldn't stand up to the wear & tear of regular commercial use can still find a great purpose in the community. Then again, he's also a great example that classic designs haven't totally fallen out of favour, even for new builds, and that we should really have more of them. Who else would like to see more of this? https://www.instagram.com/p/CoGFPcvIVK_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

If I lived in Gotham I’m not paying subway or bus fare. I would jump the turnstile while Batman watches.

Classic style on a classic ship.. at the Bristol Docks Heritage Weekend earlier this year. If my hat doesn't give away the lack of historical authenticity with its slightly casual appearance for a rather more formal ensemble, the plastic chairs stacked on the deck of the MV Balmoral, along with the more trendy styling of its other visitors certainly does, but hey! As far as I'm concerned, it's more about the underlying principle than replicating any particular historical period (although that can be fun, and there's certainly a time & place for that).

So what makes something classic? Is the term a reference to social class? It's usage in common parlance suggests otherwise - that it describes something in a class of its own, unique in its timeless appeal. And it's certainly true that the styles of bygone ages do seem to retain an appeal that is not seen in the latest trends that are fashionable today and dated tomorrow. When I aspire to dress according to classic principles, it's not just so I can feel good, it's so I can make people happy from the first instant I'm seen. And that's not for compliments, although it's nice to have the feedback - it's just a little thing that hopefully helps make life more liveable for those around me.

The same goes for pretty much anything where human creativity is involved - are we creating to make a statement, or are we creating to make people happy? Imagine what a different world we would live in if the things that form the backdrop of our lives have an aesthetic appeal that makes us genuinely happy every time we encounter them.

not every day you gift your dentist practice a cute little guy, but they really liked him! all of the receptionists came over and were like "whaaaaaat is that, is he for us?!? can I pet it???" lol

my family has a bad history with dentists but I never feel scared there even when I have to have a filling done like today with needles and everything (I'm needle phobic and medical-procedure phobic so this is big!!), so I thought it could be nice to have this guy there so they can let kids hold it if they're scared too or something, it's REALLY soft and a good size for squishing! when I got the email about april fool's preorders for it I was like "mmmmm now I legitimately need this as a non-joke gift" and bought one straight away lmao, but it's got such nice colours and design that I'm almost tempted to buy another for my collection :'D
