First published in July, 1967, The Young Meteors remains one of the first and best primary-source accounts of the semi-mythical phenomenon known as ‘Swinging London’. By the mid-1960s, the anger and austerity of a previous generation had given way to prosperity — and a possibility, that of a classless meritocracy where anyone with energy, drive and talent could ‘arrive’. Pop stars, photographers, fashion designers, models, gallery owners, journalists, actors and even politicians and financiers became the ‘young meteors’.

Jonathan Aitken’s account, which coined the term and was forged in the white-hot heat of the moment, drew in many involved, Mary Quant, Bridget Riley, Pete Townsend, Twiggy, The Beatles, David Bailey, Nik Cohn, Alexander Pluncket Greene, Robert Fraser, Don McCullin, John Stephens, Ken Russell, Michael Caine, Terry Donovan, Peter Asher, and Jean Shrimpton. At the time of its original publication, many of the 200-plus interviewed were speaking for the first time about their experiences. Like all meteors, some rose and burned out. But many continued to soar, and the legacy of all of them still resonates today.

Awesome, portable room divider for larger rooms
Color: Black, Color: Black
I chose this room divider to use in my son's room that also serves as my home office! It is 72" x 72" in size, so it truly blocks out the other side of the room for optimal privacy. Once it's assembled, it's mildly sturdy - as long as you can bet both ends with the "feet" in line with the ground. I wish that the framework poles had more of an interlocking system so that the divider was easier to erect. I assembled this on carpet, so I had some issues getting the divider to stop moving. It takes a lot of work to set up, as it is massive, so definitely have someone help you. I would suggest adding weights of some sort to the feet of this divider to keep it from shifting. I ended up leaning mine against a bookcase shelf so it wouldn't lean. All and all, this is a great product if you are looking to make a room multipurpose.

As described
Color: Black
Light weight, easy to put together and you can disconnect the ends and just roll the whole thing nice and tight for quick out of the way storage. Pretty sturdy, doesn't fall over if you bump into it, you could use it outside but if there's a lot of light you can see through a tiny bit if you're really close but I only tested this indoors so not sure about patio types

Flat Plug = Game Changer
Size: 6 Ft(2 prong plug), Color: Black
This is exactly what I needed to clean up my space. The flat plug sits flush against the wall, the long cord gives flexibility, and having multiple outlets + USB ports keeps everything in one place without the mess. It’s a 3 to 2 plug for homes that the electrical hasn’t been updated to 3 prong plugs. It feels solid, not cheap, and the surge protection adds that extra peace of mind. Perfect for a clean, organized setup that actually works.
