Black suns, neutron storms, radiation & the like.

I'm under the weather today, so it looks like I'll be curling up on the sofa with the new (June) issue of UK Elle Decoration, & the Casa Vogue supplement that came with the April issue of Vogue Italia.

I literally squealed when I saw the article on Space 1999.

It's no wonder I love 1970's plastic furniture - full size & miniature. Clearly I was brainwashed from early childhood by Space 1999, which I watched avidly between the ages of 3 & 5 years old.

Catherine Bujold's site Sorellarium13 is wonderful & well worth taking a look at.

At some point I should also scan "The Avengers: Into the real British mood" article that was in last April's Casa Vogue (yes, I am a huge geek & squealed over that too!). Sadly the article didn't include a photograph of the black leather swivel chair (designer unknown) from the 1967 episode You Have Just Been Murdered (which I have 2 of).  I wish I knew who made/designed them.

& just in case anyone would like to make mini-issues for their rooms/doll houses:

Minis in magazines.

I love it when I occasionally come across miniatures in magazines. I probably have a bunch more to scan (if I could remember what issues they were in).  I'll scan & post them as & when I find more.

I found this one whilst going through an old issue of UK Elle Decoration (March 2009) the other night, the photograph (the only using miniatures in the 6 page palette piece, with photographs by Andrea Garuti) continues slightly onto the following page, where it reads:

From the tiny version of the Le Corbusier/Jeanneret/Perriand chaise longue to the perfectly scaled-down artwork, we're totally inspired by the red hues of this mini masterpiece.

Another I saw recently was in the May 2011 issue of UK Vogue, in the editorial "Forget Me Not" photographed by Tim Gutt.  It's a shame the whole editorial didn't feature miniatures.
