A few years back, Arizona jewellery designers Randy and Janie Polk were struggling to make ends meet. Randy traded gemstones with fellow hustlers in smoky hotel rooms. He liked the bright stuff, the ‘gumdrop colours’, he tells Anthea Disney for the Observer Magazine of 6 June 1982.

This is his first Tokyo fashion show in five years and he’s keen to share his new concept in DIY clothing: ‘A revolutionary idea called A-POC’ – an abbreviation of A Piece of Cloth – writes Tamsan Blanchard in the Observer Magazine on 25 April 1999.

3 weeks ago | theguardian.com | Genevieve Fox

Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar established his international reputation with ‘raucous farces’ such as What Have I Done to Deserve This? And Women On the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, writes Robert Chalmers in the Observer Magazine on 5 June 1994. His new film, Kika, features a porn star, a lesbian maid, a serial killer and a rape scene played as ‘knockabout comedy’, begging the question: has the clown prince of Europe lost his sense of humour, both in his life and in his art?

The life of the lonesome cowboy, 1978

1 month ago | theguardian.com | Genevieve Fox

The life of the lonesome cowboy out West is a fantasy for others living in their ‘urban Levi-lands of blue denim,’ writes Alan Road in the Observer Magazine of 29 January 1978. They long for ‘the freedom of the ranch’ and eye up the cattlemen and ranch hands of Western Canada, dressed in stetson and ‘sweat-stained shirt, jeans, boots, spurs and leather chaps’.
Opening our eyes to the science of sleep, in 1971

1 month ago | theguardian.com | Genevieve Fox

‘Sleep is like love. If you have it, you take it for granted,’ reports Wendy Cooper in the Observer Magazine on 24 January 1971. If you don’t, it’s rhythmic rocking or counting sheep for you, though not for Charles Dickens: he made sure his bed faced north, better to boost his creativity as he slumbered. We spend a third of our lives sleeping, but some feel they still don’t get enough, some (narcoleptics) fall asleep when they eat.

An audience with the ‘dragon king’ of Bhutan, from 1984

1 month ago | theguardian.com | Genevieve Fox

The kingdom of Bhutan is the most impenetrable country on earth. Already hidden behind mists, jungles and the Himalayan mountains, the last of the Shangri-las has deliberately isolated itself for centuries. Its once-closed neighbours, Nepal and Tibet, are common tourist destinations, writes Geoffrey Lean in the Observer Magazine on 18 November 1984.
