Now, judging by my full-bosomed figure and ample love handles, some might say that deliberately selecting homewares that are just going to make me feel hungry is an unwise decision. But this hamburger phone from Urban Outfitters is just too deliciously kitsch to resist.It's £25, and if it means I'll end up being tempted into a few more trips to the chippy on the corner, so be it. It's a small price to pay for feeling like I live in an American diner.
It reminds me of the diner in home and away. This is a good thing! Love.
ReplyDeleteI got one of these a couple of years back, and I have to warn you that it's a dreadful phone. The little nub that makes it hang up doesn't actually do the job, the sound is terrible and it's really uncomfortable to use for any length of time.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I still have it plugged in at home. It's just that every time I use it I keep meaning to stop!
I've been craving one of these ever since watching Juno. I may have to splurge!
ReplyDeleteI just don't think I could stop myself from answering with "Hello, hamburger phone?"
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the comments, ladies. Disappointing to hear that this might not measure up to telephonic expectations, but the idea of answering "Hello, hamburger phone?" is all too tempting!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Ria, I did actually do that when I had this phone. However, I concur with the assessment of it. One major design flaw, it just flips shut again! Turns out burgers make terrible phones.
ReplyDeleteI have replaced it with a stiletto phone like this http://www.retrotogo.com/2007/10/mybelle-stilett.html but pink leopard print, and I love it.
