Why Novelty Buttons Are Making A Big Comeback

The new fashion comeback kid this year has to be novelty buttons. I remember as a kid buying novelty buttons (usually with funny slogans) but today's buttons are more likely to have theme cartoons or graphics that go with the clothing on which it is pinned.

As I grew a bit older from childhood, I decided I was a hippie by the time I reached my teens. I was way too original to have to wear some kind of decor to express myself. So I didn't.

Looking back, we were hardly original. But it was fun to think we were. Talking back to our parents and teachers was fun, or at least it seemed quite cool at the time. Little did we know we were quite a bit out of control and merely trying to express ourselves.

I am not saying that we did not have some originality. We were, to my knowledge, the first young generation to stand up and question authority, which was, no doubt, fueled by a combination of chemical experimentation and the quagmire we found ourselves in in Viet Nam. Today, I can wear a novelty button of my choice and make a fun theme out of my day, in a way like visiting Disneyworld. It often sets the topic of conversation wherever I am, especially if I'm wearing a matching tshirt and cap.

Life has changed so dramatically from when I was young. We live in a world where it is very easy to lose one's voice. We are constantly re-inventing ourselves. We can make that process easier, oddly enough, with a button. I have a collection of about forty and about 20 or so matching tshirts and caps. A lot of people tell me they get up in the morning just to see what my combination will be.

I wonder if I am just an isolated incident or if everyone gets asked "Do you have a web address?" I get asked it five times more than if I have a street address. I guess people expect to see me dressed in my tee/button, cap combination, which, as I write this, seems like a very good idea. A button of the week club, or something silly like that. Hey, it's healthy and its expressing oneself!

We are still all social animals, though, and have a need to interact beyond the computer screen.

I love the buttons and matching merchandise at RickLondonCollection.Com. I think it is that they contain hilarious cartoons by the owner Rick London and they mix and match very well. And, being theme-oriented, they make for great conversation pieces. I have bouth a lot of other items there as well from cartoon wall clocks to aprons. It is a very unique store.
