Prints Charming Sunday: Fox Trot

Welcome to Prints Charming Sunday!




Usually I pick out something more...what's the word...fashion-y (?)... for our weekly themes, but today's vintage novelty print is so charming I had to show you guys! It's this really cute Vintage 40's Dancing Foxes Novelty Print Silk Scarf, available on Etsy from seller Loulou's Vintage:





I like that they look slightly sinister, like they can't wait for the song to be over so they can get to sabotaging each other. I wish I knew how to properly rock a scarf, so I could be all over this. I bet it'd look equally as cool if it were framed though, don'tcha think? (Also: how, precisely, does one spell "don'tcha"? Because that looks incredibly stupid and wrong.)

Way-Out Wednesday: Organ Grinder? I Don't Even Know Her!

Welcome to Way-Out Wednesday!




Uncle Guiseppe the Creepy Perv Organ Grinder Monkey waits for you to fall asleep. Uncle Guiseppe the Creepy Perv Organ Grinder Monkey is gonna touch you while you sleep. And smell your hair. And probably try on your brand new Manolos. And then eat the other half of your Italian sub from Subway that you were planning on taking to work tomorrow.




Uncle Guiseppe the Creepy Perv Organ Grinder Monkey is pretty sure you're gonna like it. You know- the being touched part. Not the "finding your size 7 heels stretched out and smelling like garlic-scented feet sweat and having your sandwich scarfed during a midnight pot bender by your bedbug-riddled, deadbeat primate of a roommate" part.


Inspiration for today vintage pick, this weirdly awesome Vintage 50's Organ Grinder Monkey Yarn Doll is currently offered for sale on Etsy from seller Valuable Vintage.

Way-Out Wednesday: I Don't Want To Be Buried In A Pet Sematary

\

Welcome to an extra creeptastic, extra...special...Way-Out Wednesday. I figured the last Way-Out Wednesday before Halloween should be a little extra weird. Disturbing, definitely. Gross, really. In fact, I think today's picks shouldn't even really be looked upon with human eyes. You know, like the Arc of the Covenant scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark where everyone's faces melted off.






So don't say I didn't warn you, when you're picking your eyebrows and earlobes up off the floor. Also, a warning!: if you're easily squeamish around, oh I don't know, carcasses and/or are very pro-animal, then you might want to skip today's post. Because there are animals. Dead ones, mostly. You're been warned.




To all those who don't mind seeing dead people, and the weird and macabre, then please feel free to enjoy this taxidermiest Way-Out Wednesday ever...







Eye of the Wolf Talisman Pendant. No werewolves were harmed in the making of this. It's not a real wolf eyeball, but a glass taxidermist's one. (Unfortunately, now I have "Eye of the Tiger" stuck in my head. Damn you, Survivor!)





Real Scorpion Vial Pendant. When another gold tennis bracelet just won't do. For the woman who has everything?





Royal Turtle Claw Pin. Why yes, I did just have my nails done, thank you for noticing.





Victorian-Influenced Starling Wing & Parakeet Skull Necklace. Why yes, I did say "parakeet skull." Avian Flu free with every purchase.





Half a Dozen Pigeon Heads. When would you need half a dozen dried pigeon skulls? When won't you need them, I ask?!




Octopus Tentacle Earrings. Now with more sucking action! These are actual, real octopus legs, cast in sterling silver. For those swanky dates nights at Red Lobster.
