George Harrison: Living in the Material World

The COOLEST Shoes in the world!

How awesome are these? So unbelievably cool. Unfortunately, you either have to be a tremendous artist or willing to pay quite a bit of money for custom-made Beatle shoes like these. I would probably wear those shoes pretty much every day of the week. Well, here's to wishing that I get these for my birthday in 9 months!!

Klaus Voormann's Beatles Art

There's always fan art of anything you can think of. Some of it's absolutely stellar and others...well...not so much. Unfortunately a lot of the Beatles fan art are either just weird (such as putting the Beatles' faces on the bodies of some punk kids from the 90s) or just plain, sorry-I-tried-to-make-it-look-like-them. However, this wins as one of the best I've seen. It fits, as the artist himself knew the Beatles personally in their Hamburg days, as seen in the picture above. Klaus Voormann, who was Astrid Kircherr's (the woman who introduced the mop-top to the boys) girlfriend at the time, lived and worked in Hamburg, Germany and remained pretty close  to the Beatles throughout their time here. He also spent some quality time drawing them, giving us Beatle fanatics a rare and personal glimpse of them before Beatlemania hit in 1963. This is pretty much all I've seen of his work, but you should look up his other stuff and see if it wins like these two drawings do!

Finally someone addresses Paul's eyebrows!

Who is this and how much do I need to pay to get this for me?

I love these! There's no way I would ever be able to do this on my own (I can barely paint my nails one color) but they're so awesome! If anyone has any idea who would be able to do this I would be much obliged!

I don't know how else to say this but...FAIL!

Ok so you know how I had my whole New Year's resolutions post about trying to blog everyday? Well, I already failed! Looks like the last time I posted was, January 7 and it's now January 16. That's a bit of a problem. The good news is that I am going to try again and give myself a second chance. I strongly believe in second chances, because if it weren't EMI Records giving that new band the Beatles a second chance after they were rejected by Decca Records, there would be no Fab Four and no reason for me to live. So let's hear it for second chances!

Merry Belated Christmas/Whatever-you-celebrate and a Happy New Year!

I know that it's late, but I hope that everyone's holidays were absolutely wonderful! I'm sorry that I haven't posted since December 19, but this year, the holidays were busy. I probably should have posted yesterday, you know, being the first day of 2012, but I think that the second day is alright too. One of my resolutions is to really, really, try to post something everyday. So, here's to an absolutely incredible new year with the Beatles! Happy New Year!
