# Espionage Glam OutOfThePinkSky Sends Secret Messages in Her Designs By Natasha Suter | Published 2010-07-03 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outofthepinksky-sends-secret-messages-in-her-designs References: [artfire](http://www.artfire.com/modules.php?name=Shop&op=listing&product_id=1047156) & [papanovember](http://www.papanovember.com/) The OutOfThePinkSky Artfire studio creates what seem like ordinary [hip earrings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment) to the unsuspecting observer. Open the earrings, though, and there is a secret coded message written in a diagrammatic cipher. Historically famous, it's a spy communication by Velvalee Dickinson, who used her [doll business](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/girls-crew) to send information to the Japanese in World War II. The design is called Papa November, after one of the many pop culture-inspired rhythmic broadcasts of unknown origin that appear on [shortwave radio frequencies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/johannes-vermeer-1).
