So far, however, none of these have worked.

All lifestyles
I don’t know how I managed to miss this bit of type nerdery for so long, but I just noticed these lyrics in “All Lifestyles”, from the Beastie Boys’ 2004 album To the 5 Boroughs:
So what’cha want? So what’cha need?
I’ve got the fonts you want to read
Get in the game you gotta scheme
One of these days, I’m going to have to properly build my list of songs that intersect with typography. I know there’s more than just this and “German Bold Italic” out there.

Hello, Dolly
Now that it’s healed, it’s a little easier to show off the latest addition to my collection of typographic tattoos. This little beauty is from the italic face of Dolly, available from Underware. I had mentioned to one of the Underware guys a few years ago that I’d wanted to add something of theirs to the collection, and after using Dolly for ages the time finally seemed right when I was back in New York a few weeks ago.

Younglings
Despite all my other beefs with the company, I’’m really proud of Marvel for keeping these two together.

Library acquisition
I’ve recently acquired a substantial treasure — almost complete runs of both Bob Mizer’s Physique Pictorial and Bruce of LA’s The Male Figure. Along with the issues were a handful of other tidbits, such as film catalogs and this dazzling mini calendar. Now, to think of what Pink Mince can do with this exquisite library.
Good advice
I should take it more often.
