SCANDINAVIA—DA BIG WILLY SUGAR COLLECTION


I used to be a sugar addict like Pecker's little sister in that John Waters movie (that may or may not have been about Ryan McGinley's early career). I had even replaced all the spices in my cupboard with a cutesy old fashion candy jar. It was filled with pastel sugar bead necklaces, pink bubblegum and chocolate, and I had decorated the lid with Andy Warhol's quote, "All I ever want from life is sugar." Then, just like Pecker's sister, I eventually ended up with a doctor's verdict of never eating sugar ever again during my entire earthly incarnation. Not even fruit. I'm not going to go into details of the terrible sugar withdrawal, at least not in this post, I'll just jump straight to the happy ending. See I'm not a sad broccoli muncher, I've actually learned to appreciate sugar in a whole different way—I collect it. So when I found these sugar packages at a jaunty Milanese pizza place called Da Big Willy, I got so excited I had to show you guys.

Ps. During my short stay in Italy I also found a wine bar called U Pussu. Hopefully Da Big Willy will impregnate it and they will make babies and then, finally, hair salon's won't be the only places with "funny" names like "Cut the Crap," because everyone hates hairdressers anyway. Ds

I would also like to thank the busty, blond Big Willy waitress for sweetening my collection and letting me finger her sugar jar. SWEET!
