- For the pickup artist in your life.
First
Cat Fancy and now this? The
Wall Street Journal reported today that
SkyMall Magazine filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection yesterday. Apparently the increased use of electronic devices during flights negatively impacted SkyMall's ability to entertain passengers with such items as:
half-assed pet portraits on silk pillows, talking
Smurf toothbrushes, a
walking stick inspired by Edgar Allan Poe,
electric pumice stones,
pajama jeans…
As a lifelong fan of everything SkyMall—the kitschy/almost-useful wares, the awkward models, the earnest copywriting—this is devastating news. NOW where am I supposed to buy a wine glass that holds an entire bottle of wine? From some deadly serious artisan Portlander with a MFA in environmental glassblowing?
RIP, sweet SkyMall.
