The last time I used a payphone was a desperate time indeed — and I didn't love thinking about how icky the receiver and keys were when I was using it. I'd have no fear with the keys on this Payphone Bracelet ($62); though their origin is authentic, I'm sure they've been Purelled.
Recycling old keys into new bracelets is a pretty cool trend — maybe it's a bit premature for a Cell Phone Key Bracelet, but a Typewriter Key Bracelet is spot on.
What do you think of this upcycling accessory trend?
The last time I had to use a payphone, it was because my phone errantly died (I sincerely hope that's what happens to Carrie Bradshaw here) and I was supposed to meet my boyfriend somewhere.
I remember being grossed out by all the germs of a shared phone, and got none of the nostalgia of being a teenager and using a payphone to call my mom to come pick me up from the mall. This Crosley 1950's Style Payphone returns all that nostalgia with none of the Purell — it goes in your home, and though quarters aren't required to use it, the coin slot works and the money gets deposited in the back of the phone — like a piggy bank!
On the other hand, vintage style aside, this could be gauche in the wrong setting. What's your take?
You'd think with a fab worthy outfit and a Prada ombre clutch that miss Carrie Bradshaw would be showing off a sleek iPhone in the Sex and the City movie. After six seasons and now with the movie, Carrie is surprisingly still sans a cell phone.
I certainly agree that trying to track down a payphone in one of the largest urban cities in the world is much more dramatic than conveniently returning Mr. Big's calls on a BlackBerry. . . But still!
Let's just hope that Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte step it up and give us some modern technology to get excited about.
