NOTCOT Giveaway 23: Reform School- 12.08.08
TO WIN: Leave a comment ~ have any viewmaster stories? ENTER BY 12/11. WINNER: Vanessa in London!
So, in my random need to rationalize, decided that for my birthday i’m doubling up on giveaways today! So second one for this monday ~ Reform School! The adorable shop in Silverlake is giving away one black viewmaster (so classic!!!) and the Vladmaster of your choice… personally, i’d pick Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities ~ it reminds me of a UCLA comparative lit class freshman year ~ quite possibly one of my favorite classes ever…
“Vladmasters are handmade View-Master™ reels designed, photographed, and hand-assembled by Vladimir. They make use of toys, neglected household objects, and odd ephemera to tell 28-picture tales of train chases, missing steam shovels, disastrous dinner parties, and overly adventurous cockroaches.”
In essence, who doesn’t need a a viewmaster and some handmade reels filled with artistic recreations of classics? See the options on the next page ~ and leave a comment with a viewmaster story for a chance to win!

As a nipper, about 7 or 8, I had one of the bright red viewmasters and sat by the window in my room going through slides of capital cities. This caused some controversy with the elderly neighbour opposite who did not have a viewmaster and came round to complain about me taking photos of her from my bedroom window. Hilarity ensued for everyone apart from me who just wanted to get on with looking at Paris.
