My friend Amit, aka @Photojojo, just posted this cute Polaroid necklace to the Photojojo shop. Valentine’s Day is coming, people! Judging by the sartorial habits of folks in these parts of Williamsburg, I’d have to say that the Polaroid is right up there with audio tapes and boomboxes when it comes to fashionable iconography. Here are some of the other Polaroid necklaces the net is offering up at the mo’.
Lilliputian ‘roids from Jersey Maids on Etsy
Because the only thing sexier than a Polaroid is one that is also a mirror showing you your hot self. Am I right or am I right. From CBTSCloset on Etsy.
A Polaroid in all its photo-spitting glory. Retro-technology frozen in action! From FuzzyBunnyStew on Etsy.
One day, will people wear necklaces that look like the Canon Cybershot?

I just ordered a bunch of these to give as Christmas presents. Gifty gifty! But I’m only giving them to people who give ME things. So pony up!

Certain obsolete office supplies have come to be seen as objects of great beauty. Etsy.com, for example, could start a spinoff website devoted solely to jewelry made out of typewriters. Somewhere in a dark corner, a Rolodex weeps.
