...critical importance of eBay's international growth, and of China's piece of that growth, couldn't be clearer. In just a decade, eBay has gone from America's online flea market?purveyor of old 45s, Happy Days lunch boxes and Pez dispensers?to a global powerhouse, with footprints in no fewer than 32 countries. In fact, in the first quarter of 2005, the number of registered eBay users abroad exceeded that at home. According to John Yunker, president of Byte Level Research, "by 2006, and perhaps even by the last quarter of this year, non-U.S. revenue will...
...Just over Dronning Louises Bro (bridge) is Barbarellah, tel: (45) 3332 0061, a caf?, restaurant, lounge bar and fashion store. Barbara Bascunan and her brothers Daniel and Pablo opened the caf?, which is full of their customized flea-market acquisitions, last July, and virtually everything is up for grabs.

...most of the "major" porn films (a critic's got to do what a critic's got to do). And I found that the filmmakers were eager to explore all kinds of genres. The Mitchells made a Fanny Hill-style period comedy, Autobiography of a Flea. Low-rent auteur Zebedy Colt pornofied a Crucible-like period drama with The Devil Inside Her.) Peter Locke's It Happened in Hollywood was a Laugh-In-inspired skitcom; one funny turn featured a man-woman trapeze act called the Flying Fucks. These weren't always very good movies, but they were real ones...
...Wabi-sabi in the home, according to Lawrence, is "flea markets, not warehouse stores; aged wood, not Pergo; rice paper, not glass.
