Friday Bridge's Wonder Room

We're quite fine with Friday Bridge never reaching fame of massive Lady Gaga-esque proportions, even if it would seem both fair and reasonable. The quantity of listeners is frankly not that important to us.

However, we ARE particular about QUALITY. 

Which leads me to today's Friday Bridge Friday Song, which is in celebration of one talented Friday Bridge facebook fan – Leon Phang, who won not one but several advertising awards at the Guldägget Awards last night. With my employer sponsoring last night's event, and me always going that extra mile, our media sponsorship is thus extended with a carefully selected tune for this particular award-winner. 

Yes, today's song is a Bit of Bruce – a nod to Leon and his agency's clever Mini Getaway campaign, but also quite soothing if celebrations went on a bit last night.

In 2011, let's finally revolt against the dull, intentionally ugly and uninspired people who claim Sundays to be "depressing", and thus destroy it for everyone else by showing up all over the city, sporting grey sweatpants, unwashed hair, alcohol-induced acne and a plastic bag filled with dismal items from the nearest 7-11. Why should we let those people win? Why should we be dragged along into their Sunday gloom? Sundays are glorious! Glorious!
Start off the reclaiming of Sundays by wearing at least one of these items on the day after New Year's Day*:(1) something brightly coloured (of course, no sports apparel)
(2) heels
(3) a hat

That will teach them.

* in 2011, the Sunday of Sundays. Imagine the state of the Enemy on that day. Combining a post-holiday AND post-party depression with their usual, sad appearance. Strike back.

The other day, we showed you a great gift we received recently, an office printed copy of the KLF number one manual tied together with a leather string. This gift is the perfect companion. It is, yes, extraordinarily silly: a Marc Jacobs pen disguised as a Marc Jacobs lipstick. You might think that you don't need this pen, that you don't want this pen, that if you get your hands on this pen you'll turn into Carrie Bradshaw and you just don't need that in your life right now.

But that's where you're WRONG.

With its brilliant silliness, this pen will add a healthy dose of eccentricity to your style if you accessorize it correctly. Just imagine, the intriguing image of a young woman making notes in her copy of Foreign Affairs with this pen? Or why not, a man underlining sentences in his KLF number one manual tied together with a leather string? Myself, I'll be using it on my chosen reading material this Christmas, articles like this one: "Deconstructing Identity. An Exercise To Clarify The Determinants of Brand Legitimacy". It will be brilliant.

Part one is this, a printed copy of KLF's Number One manual, lovingly bound together with a leather string (‘I wanted it to be leather bound, but …’).
