Of course, the folks at Parker and Bond stylized it with a handsome tube of Marvis. Almost justifies the $295 price tag.

Being that sharks are my favorite animal, I had to have a bit of self-restraint from immediately buying this. If I were in college, ok, I’d probably get away with having this lie around. But now, not so much. hahaha.

Still, I find the concept and execution pretty cool. Well, I’d get this for my kid/nephew/niece (if I had one), or one of my friends’ kids… just so I can take a funny picture. =X

I’m thinking about going back and buying nine more, painting them all matte black, and then, stacking them in one of the corners of my play room….evoking the eeriness of the Catacombs of Paris…or not.

Lot Notes

Founded in 1832 at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, Skull and Bones is thought by many to be one of the oldest and most prestigious secret societies in the United States. The symbolism of the skull and cross bones is synonymous with this group as its name is derived from the symbol itself. The present lot, with hinged flap on top of the skull was said to have been used as a ballot box during society meetings or displayed in the Society’s headquarters at 64 High Street in New Haven. The inscription on the right cross bone Thor could be a name which would have been assigned to a member upon induction. Accompanied by approximately 50 photographs of society members and a small black book inscribed with names (which were published until 1971), the present lot provides a rare glimpse into the society which has been linked to many influential figures and leaders at Yale University and in this country.

In between activities and to unwind, stayed off the strip, in a Studio Suite (600 sq. ft) at Palms Place, a sophisticated place with modern decor…

…and quite the balcony view.

Among the amenities, I definitely appreciated the Aveda products and two 42″ plasma TVs.

Bronze on Oil Slick The signature paper! Flock reflective bronze, deep-pile velvet Skull motif on an incredible light-catching, iridescent base, using [horribly expensive] ink which changes colour as you walk past it through reds, greens, blacks and golds – like an oil slick in a dirty puddle. Printed to non-woven paper.

…close up.. kind of…

Spacious.

I really like this bathroom. If possible, I’d have some koi swimming outside.

The area where all of my friends would chill and eat the burgers I grill.
