Alexa in Curio, Stanley Kubrick

Alexa here. Today would have been Stanley Kubrick's 83rd birthday.  Of course the myth of the man is alive and well; stories of David Fincher's filming 99 takes of Rooney Mara still seem to pale in comparison to the master of meticulous craftsmanship. (I wonder if Fincher will leave behind boxes as painstakingly catalogued as Kubrick's.) So in the spirit of craft, here are a few handiworks you can buy in celebration of Kubrick's wonderful madness.

First, for play: Alex DeLarge as a sock monkey, available here.

 

And though I've blogged them before, I still can't resist Sébastien Lepitre's Grady sister dolls.

A nice collection of Kubrick-inspired necklaces, available at Wild Thing and Fable and Fury.

 

 Or you could wear a Venetian mask just like Kubrick used for Eyes Wide Shut, available hereJust remember to leave yours on.
