The Age of the Statement Necklace (NEW!)

Here are a few statements to have spun out from the world today:

1. A US debt downgrade or failure to raise the debt ceiling would have "significant global repercussions, given the central role of US Treasury bonds in world financial markets"

(The International Monetary Fund, via the WSJ) Not good.

2. 'I fear Amy Winehouse made crack cocaine cool. She made alcoholism attractive. She made abusive, violent relationships exciting'.

(The Daily Mail's Amanda Platell) Not good.

3. 'It paid for my house - but it's full of chavs'.

(Actress Jane Horrocks on Tesco) Not good.

As you see, I have rated the above statements as 'not good'. High-calibre thinking. I would say that THIS, here, right now, 2011, is the Age of the Statement. People saying stuff all over the place (mainly Twitter) and then having to apologise (on Twitter) for saying it. The IMF doesn't need to apologise. For the IMF never gets stuff wrong. And certainly, it doesn't say slanderous stuff about actresses, footballers or front-bench MPs. It's too busy presaging the economic ruination of the universe.

It is, also, the Age of the Statement Necklace. Safe bet to say that kind of thing I have decided because the least I have to worry about is getting snarled at by fashion people because once you've been to pregnancy yoga having vocalised that some sort of childbirth pain relief on the horizon then the odd fashion-world snarl is mere piffle. I'm telling you. Don't. Mention. The. Epidural.

Here are our new statement necklaces. They're saying:

"HEY YOU! WEAR ME AND ONLY ME."

They're big, black, sparkly, leathery, robust and will transform a meek and mild everyday outfit into an urban, rock and roll masterpiece. And they are rather good at toning down a burgeoning protuberance. (Sorry pregnancy yoga, but I cannot wear cling-film tight garments in salute to Nature's miracle. I just cannot.)
 

All hail, the Statement Necklaces ...

Here are some words most of us don’t hear often hear:

1. Quantum Cryptography
2. Nanoscience
 
I can’t even be sure if I heard or remembered these words correctly. In short, a weekend away here (beautiful):
 
 
 
 
... at a summit meeting (inspirational) of a certain college of a certain UK university caused considerable strain on a brain accustomed to fabric swatches, trade fairs, colour charts, PRs, dismembered mannequins etc.
 
I did tell a professor of physics that I could do HTML (a code in which some web pages are written).  However, I had a suspicion that he was next about to utter the word ‘binary’ so I exited.
 
But do you know what words the fellows of a certain college of a certain UK university don’t hear often?
 
 
It caused considerable perplexity when first I uttered it.
 
So it is now that a number of learned scholars have elementary knowledge of the world of Black.co.uk, underpinned by the fact that the warden of a certain college of a certain UK university is the owner of one of these:
 
Houston Black and Camel Scarf - Cashmere and Silk - Black - Black.co.uk
 
... and has called it ‘a great success’. I’d like to think that the material inspires the cerebral and that there is a place for everything in this world. Though perhaps not for Quantum Accessorising.
