A few weeks ago , I wrote about losing my penknife in response to an article from boing-boing about what you have in your pockets. Well this week I've been trying to decide on what to buy to replace it, I'm still not sure (leatherman juice are expensive, the others too big, don't want a plastic-sided swiss army knife...) Metal things gain personality, plastic things feel disposable.
Today I found a cool exhibition called "Pockets" covering all sorts of things that people carried from 17th century pipes to the possessions of dead people, like Elvis, Kurt Cobain and Virginia Woolf. There is also a fashion industry perspective on pockets from Wayne Hemmingway. It is on in London at 51 Poland St, from 11am to 7pm, except Sunday (5pm) until the 4th of April. I think it sounds really quite interesting.
