93% of interesting people love lobsters. No, really, it’s true. Gerard de Nerval, a completely awesome symbolist poet and haver of nervous breakdowns, was known to walk his pet lobster around the streets of Paris. This shirt is a tribute to him.

The text is in French, but translated, it reads “I have a liking for lobsters. They are peaceful, serious creatures. They know the secrets of the sea, they don’t bark…” Ha! It’s true! They really don’t bark. Available for $24 from Xenotees.

I love a company with a sense of humor.  I found this series of fragrances from Benefit Cosmetics, at Ulta today that are described with poetry.
Here’s the poem for Something For Sophia …..
a poem to describe Sofia…
she lives in a dream
more dazzling than fiction
imaginary yet real
she defies all prediction
an incredible girl
sofia draws you right in
to where the everyday ends
“and magic begins…”
You got that?  I’m not sure it describes this scent fully, but it’s cute.
