get your NEWS here!

New york is a newspaper town, but the number has dwindled over the years. We used to have many, many more papers years ago, and they published multiple editions each day, all packed in giant bundles and thrown out the doors of speeding trucks in the general direction of the newsstand. Thankfully, with no blackberry and no ipod, your eyes were generally open and you could get out of the way, lest a 40 pound bundle of papers knock you over.

We read a lot of papers cause we didn't have blogs then, and you had your morning papers like the Wall St. Journal, NY Times and the Daily News, and your afternoon papers like the Post. My father sent me out for the Racing Form, a daily newspaper about horses. There was even a news stand for foreign papers near Bryant Park, you could get a paper from paris the same day. It seemed amazing at the time!

 We had the New York Sun, the Daily Mirror and others. The newsstands around Grand Central Terminal had lots of papers to sell, and they employed newspaper "boys" of all ages who stood there yelling at the top of their lungs to get you to buy their paper.

The folks who sold the Daily News would shout at you in their inimitable New York accents what sounds like: Get ya NOOOS HEAH!    DAILEEEE NOOOS!   I think the paper cost a dime back then, and they didn't have a single page in color. So fast forward to the Daily News of today, in full color, the valentine's guide. And look at what they are showing in the guide, our cuff and ring!
I was surprised and thrilled, it was unexpected to say the least. Sometimes you have to really work to get some press, and sometimes you don't! Either way, we've got 'em in stock and ready to ship, in case your valentine would like a bauble or two. Ciao!
