Get the Polaroid Love mug.Brand-name famous for instant film and cameras, whose popularity spanned from the 1960s through the 90s, until it was shadowed by digital photography.
After two rounds of chapter 11 bankruptcy, in 2009 Polaroid exited the film market, despite the niche market that still exists. Remaining packs of Polaroid film, including expired packs, fetch insane amounts of money on eBay.
In the meantime, the corpse of the Polaroid Corporation is being raped by Lady Gaga. The company re-entered the instant film market in 2010; although initially announced to be the return of 600 film, the end-result was really the Fujifilm Instax camera and film in drag.
Most older "pack film" cameras can still be used; they accept Fuji's FP-100C color, and/or FP-3000b black and white films.
New film for the "integral film" cameras has been re-invented and released by The Impossible Project, but is still under heavy-development.

Don't bother with Polaroid film that expired before 2004... either the chemicals will be dried-up, or the battery will be a dud.

Get the Pogroms mug.Comes from the song Hey Ya! by a group called Outkast intoning women to shake it out on the dance floor. Refers back to when people used to wave around or fan their instant photos in order to dry them. The popularity of this song/phrase caused the Polaroid company to put out a press release warning people NOT to shake today's Polaroids because it would ruin them.
She knew how to attract men: she would get out on the dance floor and shake it like a Polaroid picture!

Get the polaroid mug.Demi meaning that you only experience romantic/sexual attraction once a strong emotional bond has been formed. Demi-romantic people don't get crushes on people they've known for a day or two. You become friends first and then possibly develop a crush on them.
Polyromantic meaning attracted to more than two genders, but not all of them. Someone could be romantically attracted to all genders except for males and be polyromantic. Identifying as polyromantic implies that your romantic orientation isn't the same as your sexual orientation
Asexual meaning does not experience sexual attraction. This, however, means you can still experience romantic attraction. Asexuality is also the lack of desire to preform sexual acts. But, there can be sex-positive, sex-neutral, and sex-repulsed asexuals. Sex-positive asexuals like sex but still don't experience sexual attraction. Someone could like the physicality of sex or could think it's a good way to pass time. Sex-neutral asexuals would have sex to please their partner but couldn't careless is they had sex or not. Sex-repulsed asexuals do not like sex and they would not want to have sex whether their partner wants to or not. Some sex repulsed asexuals even hate the thought of sex.
