3...2...1...Happy New Year!

Just wanted to pop in here and wish all my amigos in blogland a very Happy New Year! I've had a good week- busy as all getout- but good all the same. Got to visit with friends and family I haven't seen in forEVer and got my paws on a boatload of a vintage haul! Sa-weet. So once again my sad little blog had to suffer, but so goes life, right? At least I'll be ringing in the new year with a lot of work, so huzzah for being buried in vintage! (And PS: I'll be be back this Sunday with our usual Prints Charming Sunday theme- tomorrow is one very last day of slack. So sue me.)

Anyway, my warmest wishes to all of you for a safe, healthy and prosperous 2011. 2010 may have sucked it BIG time, but I am SO fortunate to have gotten to know alot of you and many of your seriously cool blogs. Cheers to a better year!

All Is Quiet On New Year's Day

Happy New Year's Day, kiddies! Gonna skip today's Aqua Blue Heaven Friday theme for obvious reasons. Not because of feeling slightly hangover-ish and wanting to dive head first into a pile of cheese pizzas then take a nap on the couch for a couple hours, no! No,... it's becasue... I'm out saving hobos and puppies while a Sarah McLachlan song plays in the background while I simultaneously pick up trash form the side of the road while a Native American stands by and cries. Yep! That's pretty much exactly why.

I'll return to our regular blog themes starting this Sunday. Right now I have a very important nap to take- I mean world to save! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

...Happy New Year!



Just wanted to wish to everyone a swanktastic New Year's eve! Party like it's 2009. I for one will be a tv zombie, watching the Twilight Zone marathon that plays this time on the the SciFi channel every year. I'm a nutbag for that hot piece-o-manmeat called "early 60's William Shatner" who starred in a few of the episodes.

Behold the Shatner deliciousness, in one of my favorite TZ episodes called "Nick of Time", where the Shat and his wife get stuck in a small town while their car is being fixed and he gets addicted to a fortune-telling machine in the town's diner.













Hello, lover.



Have a happy stinkin' New Year, my lovelies! Here's hoping 2010 sucks a little less than 2009 did. Cheers!

Happy New Year, Baby

Happy New Year's Eve, peeps! Don't forget to eat fish today and pork tomorrow...that's some kind of good luck tradition- I think it's a Catholic thing?...frick, I should know this...All I know is that you have to eat fish and pork today and tomorrow to have a lucky 2009. That, and you don't want to piss off Jebus. Or else. Jebus will smite you. He will smite you good! Do you think Swedish Fish counts as the "fish" part of the deal? He really should have specified trout or bass or whatever. Darn you jebus for sabotaging my New Years luck!

I thought I should give back to some of my vintage friends who have done so much for me, if I ended this year on a good note and give props where props is due. Also to prove that I really am not made entirely out of piss and vinegar, as my German Grandma used to say. So it's linky-linky time! Here are a few that were either really helpful throughout the year, or paid me off really well for my friendship, "Can't Buy Me Love"-style. In no particular order, here's a shout-out to my friends and homies who I couldn't have done it without. Done what, you ask? Perhaps commit arson, maybe plot elaborate jewel heists, you'll just never know.

For pretty much the best vintage shopping ever on the interwebs, you must check out: Dorothea's Closet Vintage, Damn Good Vintage, Couture Allure, Glamoursurf (she has the most incredible vintage swimsuits for sale you've ever laid your peepers on)....And (if you're crafty and can sew your own clothes I envy you very much), you might dig these vintage pattern sellers: MomsPatterns, The Ornament Gal, Vintage Fashion Library...

There are so many more homies I'm forgetting to send love to, so I'm sorry if I missed anyone this time around. Maybe next year. (Get it, because next year is tomorrow? Shut up, it was too funny.)



But most of all, thanks to all of you kindred spirits of nerds, freak and geeks out there who read my stabby blog! Hopefully you take away something from it. I loves me some of you guys and you keep me going when I sometimes feel like a nut...and sometimes I don't (stolen retro commercial line!). Keep posting your comments and let me know you're listening/laughing/crying/loathing and keep sending your hate mail! Have a rockin' New Year's Eve! (Dick Clark not included.)
