The best of Facebook dislike and other Facebook paraphernalia
Facebook dislike button? Definitely want it but it doesn’t look like we’re going to get it soon. Here’s some things to tide you over until perhaps, that one day, when Mr. Zuckerberg bestows upon us that precious dislike button.
But before Dislike, people are going crazy over these Facebook Like stickers with 125 tweets and growing. Here’s the sticker on someone’s BMW.
There’s even a video!
Other Facebook paraphernalia include the Facebook Embarrassing Photo Protective Sunglasses. Given how much I am hounded by the paparazzi, I totally need this.
Facebook Like-Dislike Stamps
If @MyLifesPathetic thinks this is worth it, it MUST be worth it.
And of course, the Facebook Dislike Hoodie and Tote - staples in one’s web 2.0 wardrobe.
Which thing do you love the most?

How do you tell a swimsuit is of vintage design? Look for nipped-in waists, strapless one pieces. Sometimes they are ruched. High-waisted is sooo vintage. Apron-style or low cut bottom designs are definitely retro. Here’s some original examples from simplicityisbliss at Etsy.
From stores people were tweeting about, here’s more vintage-styled swimsuits that you can actually buy at a decent price.
Popinaswimwear.com is by Pamela Levenson (who’s been in this business for 20 years) and oh, they are so delicious with prices starting at only $60!
Shabby Apple isn’t so shabby with this $78 tie back halter, blue polka dot piece.
From pinupclothing, this $102 moderned-up pink Marilyn swimsuit.
There’s even this baby blue polka dot swimsuit on Target for just $35. Oh yes, vintage swimsuits are in. There’s no doubt.
