As you may have read, I’m in Europe for an extended amount of time dodging immigration (hint for traveling to London, always have your return ticket itinerary printed, a U.K. address, and some directions to famous tourist spots; then you can go there and work illegally!!!). I lived in Europe about four years ago and I bought an Ipod and a digital camera. Well in 2008 (yea, I’m in ‘08 already) the ipod has been replaced with the iphone and the digital camera has been replaced by the iphone.    I firmly believe that any product that people end up waiting in a line outside for isn’t worth it (even though I will probably get the 3G iPhone when it comes out) so instead of getting a new digital camera for my trip, I got this: This is HOLGA. She is russian and from the 60s, back when Russia was dangerous and sexy (not just dangerous, but pretty).  HOLGA is very simple. She uses film and only electricity for the flash (which comes in four colors by the way). When you put the film in you can see all her parts and understand them. She is made of plastic but feels more real than digital. She makes things like this:     This may be a bit urbanoutfitters of me, but trust me, I am way to snobby for urbanout fitters. It was my first time inside of an urbanoutfitters in years, at least 3 years. So that proves my creditability of finding quirky things from non-pay-extra-to-do-the-quirky-research-for-you.My first roll of film is being developed now. So we will see what the results will be.  Everyone wish Sarah a get well. I do!
