Bison down socks are something you probably haven't heard of or experienced, but anyone would probably flip out at both the thought of wearing something made from bison and the seriously warm, surprisingly soft comfort that they give, even under the most extreme conditions. We have been very aggressive about testing these in some serious climates, we spend a lot of time in Alaska, working with the people who have to be out in some crazy cold temps for extended periods of time, focusing on outfitting Iditarod mushers, commercial fishermen in Alaska, hikers, hunters, and wildlife photographers. We have even placed two sock/glove vending machines at the airport in Anchorage, marketing to the workers going up to the oilfields on the north slope.

Grandma Sally catapults the hearse over a speed bump, careening into Dorothy’s new middle school parking lot to the shrieks of Dorothy and her sister, Sam. Dorothy Moore becomes the fiery ring leader of a lively band of misfits, but she doesn’t even know it. A redheaded ball of enthusiastic contradictions, Dorothy is lucky to make it through a day without planting a foot in her mouth or into a hole. She has curly, orange pig tails, freckles and arrives at her first day of middle school in her old plaid Catholic school uniform, while every other student is dressed in hip, modern day style.

Multi-award winning, ultra-premium Crystal Head Vodka, known for its signature skull bottle, has tested the boundaries once again with the premiere of the first limited-edition artist series bottle, by renowned artist John Alexander.

Known as a painter of environmentally conscious landscapes and satirical figurative work, this evocative bottle finish is derived from Alexander’s expressive 1988 oil painting ‘Dancing on the Water Lilies of Life,’ which is currently on display in the Dallas Museum of Art. The decoration process of these limited-edition bottles takes place in a small artisanal workshop in Milan, Italy. Each of the 25,000 bottles have been hand-decorated by one of three highly skilled craftsmen, and then numbered to further emphasize its scarcity.
