I hung out with a friend last night, and she gave me a little gift: Beatles socks from Bloomingdales! They have an Abbey Road silhouette.

So I can say with certainty there is at least one affordable Beatles item at Bloomingdales – they’re $10. And my friend told me to check back in a few weeks, because Bloomingdales regularly marks down their merchandise.

Check out my fan video for Paul's song "Appreciate" at Vimeo or YouTube.

It was only set up over the last couple of years (I think) for illegal emigrants (mainly Chinese) :)

When I first read Bloomingdales, I thought the prices were going to be outrages for the socks. They want like $150 I believe for silk pockets squares.

Was watching a documentary on prostitution in Britain the other day (don’t ask) and apparently there’s a brothel across from Abbey Road

With it being London (or just the fact it’s a city, really), I could’ve guessed there would be one nearby. Interesting to know, anyway…

$10? Wow. Never thought I’d be able to say that I can afford to shop in Bloomingdales! :D

$10 for 1 pair of socks!!!

 

You can 5 pairs for £5 in places (tho not Beatles ones).

I said I could buy them – I’m sure I have a tenner somewhere – not that I ever would spend that much money on a pair of socks. It would be nice to see the four lads everytime I look down though :D

:( Maybe because it was on offer in that shop only? Old stock or something? I wasn’t going to buy them anyway, even at that really cheap price!

Yeah, I was surprised not to have heard of the socks before (which I’m proudly wearing today). I guess they don’t want to encourage you to buy the low-price items. :-P

Don’t forget the $8.98 shipping cost. You’d think that with charging nigh-on a thousand dollars for socks that you’d get free p&p.

If you search online you find some really weird prices for Beatles products like books going for $350 new when they cost £20 upon first release. Not as insane as the socks but still.

^^ Don’t I recall someone sometime singing some song that goes something like “Help !”

We may have reached that point. :-)

I’d always have a real Beatle over a clone. If the offer ever comes I will swap the clone for the real Ringo.

Real Beatles socks from ebay for like $7 on fake, expensive Beatles. If we get cheap Beatle clones, they might malfunction, so we should get somewhere in between or expensive.
