Ten years ago when someone said the word ‘bling' you may have thought of a gnarly rapper from Oakland talking about his diamond-encrusted grill. These days when you hear it, it's more likely a middle-aged woman talking about the cubic zirconia earrings she bought off eBay.

When I visited California, the closest I got to the State's south was sitting next to a one-armed guy from San Diego at the Greyhound Station in Hollywood. But if I had ventured down to Southern Cali I would have pleasantly learnt that a) most of its inhabitants are blessed with two arms and b) there's an f-load of excellent vintage goods to be had.
There seems to be a prevailing consensus in this country that Sweden is some kind of promised land where everything works, everybody is attractive, and no one is fat. Well, I've been to Sweden and I can tell you that this is a total load of bollocks because I saw at least three fat people in the two weeks I was there.
When looking over SixThousand's Google analytics a few shocking things stand out. Firstly, all of you freaks can't stop clicking on the keyboard cat link from 113 issues ago. Really, get over it. More importantly though, everyone in the world clicked on a link we once posted to Print Liberation - a tiny little Philadelphia based duo who's designs are pure genius.
