the post about everything

WARNING: This post is a photo post, so it's filled with images and random bits of writing. Enjoy ;)

One:
Anti Everything is going great, you can check the group's pool on Flickr for the work there. My favourites are the following:


I just have a weakness for lips and teeth, being illustrated of course ;D



i love the simplicity of this spread, and I just think it's visually amazing



Love it! Such serif font never looked so interesting.

Two: I received 3 beautiful t-shirts from Blouzaat back in Jordan. The delivery took about a week, and it came in a beautiful wrapping. Check out the joyous set of photos I have of the 'occasion':










The t-shirts will be available for online ordering pretty soon, and for Europe (including UK) it takes about a week to arrive. So, you peoples can purchase the lovely t-shirts online pretty soon ;D

Three: the collection of my Mighty Glasses photographs is growing everyday day! Note that the following ones are in total random order and from very different times. Some go back to May 2007 and some from 2 days ago ;D

Four: I didn't share my treasures and goodies that I got from Egyptoland, so here they are.



Recommended by MoFa, possibly one of the best books ever!


Umm Kulthum in London, possibly snapped on an ancient
Lomographic Supersampler. This page is from the magazine Al Kawakeb
about Um Kulthum's concert in London.



Al Kawakeb magazine, the Special Summer Issue. 1966, it has loads of
Egyptian celebrities enjoying their time on the beach.
Even some editorial with Suaad Husni!



Nadia Lotfi again on the cover of Kawakeb, but that's back in 1962.
I really like the Westend Watches' ad at the back!



Poster of "Hekayet El Omr Kollo" - who would resist buying
a poster with Ahmad Ramzi grabbing Faten Hamama's leg? haha



Little affiche (poster) of the movie "Al Shakk Al Qatel"
I just love EVEYTHING about this - look at the beautiful details
the illustrations, the typography, the layout. Beautiful!



I got a whole book (bound) of Al Mosawwer magazine for the year 1955
Aside from featuring interesting articles - the number of fascinating calligraphy,
illustrative ads, and interesting photographs is never-ending.
I just couldn't post the photos of everything!

That's it y'all, better comment! hehe
