It is officially mid-December. It is the last week of work before break. My free time seems to be sucked up by frantic searching for the perfect presents for friends and loved ones. My mother, on the other hand, is moving furniture around, planning her cookie baking time and more. The weather has finally turned… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: ‘Tis the Season

Memorabilia Medley: DD socks!
I have to tell you all, the memorabilia posts like this one are not my favorite. Aside from music and a few shirts (okay, a bunch of shirts), I don’t have a ton of DD stuff. Each time I need to write a blog on this topic, I struggle to think of something fun to… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: DD socks!
Memorabilia Medley: Black Friday Sale?
Last week, Duran Duran’s official store held a Black Friday sale. Fans who participated got 20% off their purchases. On top of the sale, they advertised some new products, including face masks and multiples new designs, including one with a gold crest designed by the fabulous Patty Palazzo. If all of this was not enough,… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Black Friday Sale?
Memorabilia Medley: Duran Duran, 1981
I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person to own this delightfully early poster of my favorite band. Not only is Duran Duran my favorite band, or your favorite band for that matter, but it was also Princess Diana’s. If, like me, you are an avid watcher of The Crown, you may have gotten a… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Duran Duran, 1981
Memorabilia Medley: 2021 Calendar
Recently, Duran Duran announced that there would be an official 2021 calendar. I know that there are many fans who love these and look forward to them each and every year. This year, though, I think it was in question since the band was unable to do much together, especially in an out-in-public sense. There… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: 2021 Calendar
Memorabilia Medley: Autographed merchandise
As I was thinking about something to write about for today’s post, I did a search for Duran Duran memorabilia. The very first items were several Fender guitars, all being sold as signed pieces. I took a look at the signatures, and upon just an initial look, they appeared fairly authentic. The guitars were being… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Autographed merchandise
Memorabilia Medley: Astronaut T-shirt
I was brainstorming ideas for this week’s Memorabilia Medley, when a t-shirt design caught my eye online. It was the five petal design from the Astronaut tour, seen below: I don’t know what it is about this design that makes me smile, but it does. Part of it might be the five “petals”, coming together… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Astronaut T-shirt
Memorabilia Medley: Posters–Old or New?
I have a confession to make. Every once in awhile when I am feeling particularly blah, unmotivated or uninspired, I start doing some online shopping. I have to admit that a lot of times I will reach for the standards to give myself a little pick me up, a little something to look forward to.… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Posters–Old or New?
Memorabilia Medley: Signed albums
I don’t know how common this is, but back in the 80s when I thought I was super busy with school and clarinet practice – yet still had considerable time for daydreaming, I thought about goals. One of my goals, was to someday have something signed by Duran Duran. Granted, I was a kid then.… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Signed albums
National Album Day!
The other day I told Rhonda that I had something in my calendar about a Duran Duran re-issue. I had no clue what it was and she did not remember anything either. Was this an example of a senior moment? After all, we are not getting any younger. Could be an example of a campaign… Continue reading National Album Day!
