The Thousands Shop
For a number of years now, we've been telling you what we like via the internet. We tell, you read, and then you spend your life savings on postage trying to get yourself a picnic rug with sleeves and the latest issue of Apartamento and a pair of wooden bike handlebars, all at the same time. But not for much longer.
Rare Illustrated Books
Your eyes are pretty good to you. Even if you're bespectacled like most of us here at TwoThousand, those peepers of yours work damn hard. They fight through smoke and disco lights, they accept your cheap and entirely ineffective sunglasses - and they only whine occasionally about having to squint at a computer screen all day.
The Bookshop
Gay bookshops used to be a staple of every gay ghetto. They helped build community, foster a common gay 'identity' and were rallying point for politically-minded locals.
Nowadays, the idea's passé. Most gay dudes are more interested in getting high and getting off than getting equality. And our hard fought 'gay' identity (Madonna, WILL & GRACE, Abercrombie & Fitch) is pretty damn revolting.

Ruban Rat
There's nothing wrong with the matchbox car per se, but it doesn't quite have the design aesthetic of the vinyl toy. Which leads me to wonder how children in Japan, spiritual home of the vinyl toy, played when they were little. While we were pushing our cars around an especially made mat making "vroom" sounds they were probably having imaginary intergalactic wars with stylised mythical creatures.
