Quirky. Witty. Introspective. These are just a few simple words that are often associated with comic book collectors. In order to be a comic book collector, you have to appreciate the story telling involved in early editions of comic books. You also have to have a bit of knowledge of classic comics.

But any stamp collector will tell you that collecting stamps is quite thrilling at times. There are many memorable stamps that have come and gone throughout the years. In fact, certain stamps are considered to be valuable works of art. So it’s no surprise that some of the most famous stamps have been transformed into cufflinks.

Convicted murderer, Amanda Knox, is returning home to the United States after spending almost four years in an Italian prison. Will she become America’s new sweetheart? We doubt it.

Prosecution ruled that the evidence was botched and unreliable to convict her and her Italian boyfriend, say sources. A court-ordered DNA review discredited the crucial genetic evidence that led to the original 25 year sentencing.

Police Handcuff Cufflinks

Amanda Knox is entitled to receive over a 1/2 million dollars in compensation due to her wrongful imprisonment. But it is unlikely that she will need that money, because TV stations will pay beau-coup bucks for an exclusive interview. It was reported last night that she and her family finally celebrated her 21st birthday (long over due) at an undisclosed location. As for her mental health, they’re going to see how it goes. Her father was quoted saying, “You know Amanda is very strong and has stayed very strong. We’re going to have to see what happens with her, but no we don’t have anybody on board who is going to give her counselling or anything like that.”

Justice Stamp Cufflinks

As for Italy, she wants to leave it behind her. After spending over 1,000 days in prison, little luxuries like laying in the grass will be high on the agenda. She even plans on enrolling back in college to complete her coursework. We silently wonder what that will be like…the 19 yr. olds sitting next to her in some psychology class wondering if they’re sitting next to a stone cold killer.

Then of course the debate will re-open (not like it was ever closed) on the actual identities (plural because the drug dealer who was convicted said he “did not work alone”) of the killers of Knox’s 24-year old flatmate Meredith Kercher. Obviously Kercher’s family is not shouting for joy at the release of Amanda Knox, but aren’t exactly condemning the verdict either:

Sterling Scales of Justice Cufflinks

“Meredith Kercher’s bewildered family vowed to pursue justice yesterday as Amanda Knox flew home with the status of an international star. Agony etched on their faces, they demanded to know what had ‘truly happened’ to the 21-year-old  British student. Meredith’s dejected mother Arline Kercher, sister Stephanie and brother Lyle described being ‘back to square one’.

Lyle said: ‘We are left looking at this again, and how a decision that was so certain two years ago has now been so emphatically overturned.’ ” (Reports DailyMail)

So the question still remains: WHODONEIT?

Facebook is for the vain, glorifying self promoters who want everyone to know just how special they are via cyberspace. LOL, jk, lmfao, smh, lls, jkjk, omg, but every jest has an ounce of truth.

Facebook Me Cufflinks

Some people that graze this social network just get on our nerves and we wonder why. Is it because we really don’t want to know that much about someone whom we haven’t seen in eight years? Or is it the ruthless pseudo-farming, gaming, and obscure requests that fill our inbox daily?

Will you feed my chickens? Lend a nail for my barn? Harvest my crops?

Press to “Collect Wool” on Farmville

We are all guilty of being an annoying “friend” on facebook, flaunting our victories, rarely posting our defeats, and only posting the best pictures of ourselves, making sure our profile hides the semi-belly you’ve grown since highschool that is not, (I repeat, is not) a baby bump, and probably just the result of beer binges or frequent happy hours where you’ve gotten a little too happy, you beer monster, you…

Beer Monster Cufflinks

Let’s start with things we love:

1. Contrary to popular opinion, we DO like good news and pretty pictures. If you just won the lottery, we want to know, so we can call and “catch up.” If you are suddenly a raging beauty when, ten years ago, we couldn’t stand to look at you…we want to know! (Again, so we can “catch up”… and see if you are single). So if you now resemble Venus, by all means, send us a message…or give us a poke.

Venus Cufflinks, aka “sexy lady links”

2. We love it when you post something interesting/educational/inspiring. Anything from the New York Times normally counts as pretty cool, not only because of the material, but we don’t even have to do the research ourselves for the latest breaking news in the science world. Yes, I’d like to know what’s going on in Egypt right now and what the President said in his speech last night…

3. Music videos from artists we’ve never heard of (so we can go illegally download the song immediately) or practically any video that makes us laugh, giggle, think, reminisce, etc. Just please, don’t go posting ten videos a day because then it’s just…obnoxious.

Cool music is always welcome. Like this awesome song by The Knife:

Things we don’t like

1. Leave the relationship drama for the bedroom…or the front door, or the mall. Not on an abstract wall that people view and can comment on. Just please.

Love Stamp Cufflinks

2. This might have come up in another blog, but I have to reiterate: GRAMMAR. It’s so sad to see that someone, whom you’ve admired or somewhat liked (even as a friend) doesn’t know the difference between “to” and “too” and “their, there, they’re” and countless other grammatical errors that swamp this elicit site. You are judged. Not by your pictures, but by your words. Chose carefully friends. Poke j/k lmfao omg jkjkjkjk…really.

3. Bathroom pictures. Oh geesh, if you don’t have friends to take your picture, at least stand in front of something interesting, instead of a doorway with a mirror reflecting your hemorrhoid cream and toilet bowl. We do not want to see the contents of your bathroom and you shouldn’t be taking your phone in the bathroom anyways: germ central. Just nasty.

You’re a Pig Cufflinks

4. Posts about what YOU ARE EATING. People do not care, nor do they like to read, about the contents of your diet. it’s just plain ridiculous. “Mmm, eating Chipotle.” “Grubbing on some chocolate cake” “Taco bell for lunch. nom nom”

Hamburger Sandwich Cufflinks: you know you’re hungry…

If you post this kind of stuff, restaurant chains should start paying you for advertising. And not to mention it makes others hungry, specifically me.

1. Style Icon Number 1: Tom Waits

Known for his raspy, deep voice, which has been described by critic Daniel Durchholz as sounding “like it was soaked in a vat of bourbon, left hanging in the smokehouse for a few months, and then taken outside and run over with a car,” Tom Waits is an iconic singer, actor, and composer. He always plays these seedy, shady characters in films such as “Down By Law” and Bram Stoker’s “Dracula,” but is also known for his immense cult following:

Tom has been a trend setter for years, especially for Brooklyn Hipsters, with his cigarettes, whiskey, old beaten hats, and worn suit jackets. He is experimental in both his music and his fashion choices. Waits recorded Small Change (1976), which is more lyrically cynical and pessimistic than his previous albums, l with many songs such as “The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me) (An Evening With Pete King)” and “Bad Liver and a Broken Heart (In Lowell)”.

In response to the heavy drinking that ensued while making the album Small Change, Waits said that he “tried to resolve a few things as far as this cocktail lounge, maudlin, crying-in-your-beer image that I have. There ain’t nothin’ funny about a drunk [...] I was really starting to believe that there was something amusing and wonderfully American about being a drunk. I ended up telling myself to cut that shit out.”

Style Icon Number 2: Al Pachino

Al is best known for his horrifying role in Scarface as Tony Montana and Micheal Corleone in The Godfather Trilogy. He showed a much softer side in Frankie and Johnny, alongside his former co-star in Scarface, the beautiful Michelle Pfeiffer. Throughout the years, we’ve seen Pacino evolve as an actor, taking on the best of roles and giving it his all. Trained as a Method Actor, under the guidance of the famed Lee Strasberg, Pacino developed a passionate intensity in just about every role he played.

A native New Yorker, Pacino dropped out of school at 17, and took on a series of mundane jobs in order to pay for his acting classes. At the Actor’s Studio, Pacino studied method acting, which is a phrase that loosely refers to a family of techniques by which actors try to create in themselves the thoughts and emotions of their characters in an effort to develop lifelike performances.

Director Francis Ford Coppola took a risk in casting the relatively unknown Pacino in The Godfather, yet Pacino’s acting earned him an Academy Award Nomination, which he boycotted because of his anger at being labeled a “Supporting Actor.”

So “Say hello to my little friend…” with these Pistol Cufflinks:

Pistol Cufflinks

Throughout all of his films, the man has a certain simple, yet poignant style that we all secretly admire. Women love him and men want to be him. He has played those dominant character types that men around the world wanted to imitate, and they loyally re-played their favorite scenes on VCRs at home, reenacting many famous lines and scenes.

Michael Corleone, and his transformation

The fascination with the mafia/mob world had become exponential after Pacino’s performances. He brought the underworld and grime of Mafia life out in the open, added a touch of sophistication and swagger; namely he glamorized the life of a mobster- something no one else could do.

Stay tuned folks for more icons..

Bob Dylan has been a style icon since, well, the day he was born. He is the epitome of an artist, constantly evolving in his musical style, and never looking back. He is known for his lyrical, poignant poetry, paintings, and drawings as well as his music. His autobiography, “The Chronicles,” has sold millions, and spent 19 long weeks on the New York Times Best Seller list for non-fiction.

Bob Dylan’s famous hits, like Tangled up in Blue, Blowin’ in the Wind, Tamborine Man, Just Like a Women, Don’t Think Twice, I’m not There, A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall, and so, so many more, have made their way into our lives over the years, and we have adapted them as a part of our “life soundtracks.”

Vintage Jukebox Cufflinks

Most of us have poignant memories attached to these tunes, replay them over on our ipods,  and every time we listen we find something new, something different, something that reminds of us of so many yesterdays. In short, his music has a power that is continuous, ephemeral, and yet lasting. It lingers in our ears, weighs over us like a rolling stone, all while the times are a-changing.

Guitar Cufflinks

And when he switched over to the electric guitar, it caused a big scandal. People frantically asking, or booing, “Is he forgetting his roots? Is he leaving folk music behind? Is he caving in for corporate America?” No, the music only evolved and so did the man.

Red Guitar Cufflinks

Influenced by the poetry of the Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, Bob’s writings focused on oppression, the American dream, war, love, despair, protest, and spirituality. The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation for what they called his profound impact on popular music and American culture, “marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power.” Frankly, the man is a musical force and poetic genius.

Peace Cufflinks

He is one of the only true voices we’ve had to represent the true American spirit. He fought through music, cried through music, celebrated through music, lived through music; all this accumulating to an giant American force, using only that strange voice of his, raspy and electrifying, and a guitar, piano, and/or harmonica.

Silver Microphone Cufflinks

Now Mr. Dylan, with all his revolutionary success, concentrates on his own personal spiritual journey, and occasionally makes trips to his son’s school to play some guitar and sing for the children. They all stare and wonder who the hell this strange, rough looking man is in their perfect classroom, banging out chords and belting out lullabys…asking their teachers afterward, “Who is that guy?” If they only knew…

To be a civil rights activist is to be Martin Luther King Jr.- either you’re talking about political leaders or merely just some cute cufflinks.

Martin Luther King Jr. was a god to every civil rights activist. And while other Luther loyalists who are close to the King Center in Atlanta are visiting his tomb, it’s a good thing to know that loyalists from all over the world can still show their support to the great leader and towards civil rights movements in their own simple (yet sweet) ways- wearing the Martin Luther King Jr. Stamp Cufflinks.

Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King Jr - Stamp Cufflinks

The Martin Luther Jr. Stamp Cufflinks are specially created by Cuff Links Man to promote unique cufflinks collection in its motivation to add a personalized touch to every customer’s interest, belief and character. In the case of the King Stamp cufflinks, we have one strong argument for you- sometimes you don’t need to scream in the streets to consider yourself a political activist.

So whether you take pride in fighting for what you believe is right, still have some arguments left inside your head as to why US attacked Vietnam (we knew very well that King was against the former president’s decision to send troops to Vietnam), or simply just another human being who loves to collect NBA Basketball Cufflinks, getting the chance to wear the Martin Luther King Jr. cufflinks is actually not such a bad idea after all. Long live the King!
