Looking for an apartment?

Do you have about 3,1 million Dollars (25 million Skr) to spare? Then maybe this apartment suits you. Its 378 square meters are beautifully located in the centre of Stockholm. It was once the property of legendary capitalist and financier Ivar Krueger. (Probably one of the worlds richest people in the twenties. Killed himself in 1932 after his company went bancrupt.) In his day the apartment included a second floor and was almost twice the size. However, it might just still do.

Slime

Do you remember Slime? I remember "accidentally" getting this green stuff into a kid neighbor's hair. Take a look at other popular toys from the 70s and 80s. I can't say I recognize everything - everything was probably not even sold over here in Sweden - but lots of it. You can bet some lucky b-stard had it!

Vintage Ladies and Other Stuff

Here's a collection of postcards. There are vintage ladies - I'm not referring to elderly people but they would be if they are alive today - some nudes (NSFW), some movie stars and some other ladies. Then there are postcards of cute cats, some cartoons and Drew Barrymore (!)

You also get your doodle-a-day.
