the Tuesday Song of the Week

Can we talk the Guess Who?

How come we only ever get to hear 'American Woman' (which I hate) and 'No Time' (ditto), but we never never ever ever get to hear the super-awesome 'Tuff E. Nuff' -- which can't even be found on YouTube -- and the similarly super-awesome...

Calling all guys...

with excellent (retro) fashion sense and 40" chests.

Have we got a (retro) shirt for YOU!! Update December 2, 2015: sorry, guys, it sold already.
 print of the Big City and goings on therein

like nifty roadsters doing their nifty thing

while other jamokes are playing pinball and listening to disco coming out of a jukebox

You'd expect such awesomeness to be bo expensive,

The Lady's Letter-Writer: Letter XXIX

Letter XXIX
From a Servant, refusing Addresses

Brooklyn, April 4, 18--

Sir:-- I do not know what could have led you to believe I had any partiality for you.  Such is not the case.  I wish you well, as I have no reason for wishing you otherwise, but I have no desire for any attentions from you of any kind.  

                                                                                Yours,

                                                                                 ........ ......

To John ..........

new old vintage!

New to you,

but old, if you can follow that in any way.

1970s cotton pink heather skirt with double pockets! 
     EXACTLY the same style of skirt my 7th grade sewing class tried to sew.
 But professionally made, and therefore not the mess that the skirt I made was.

Now we have another bo desirable item, to wit: a 1950s lucite handbag. 
 Gold confetti lucite!!

Now back to attire:
      maaavelous 1960s lace babydoll dress 
Those wonderful bell sleeves are over 30" in circumference!!!!!!!

Now something from a little later, by the great Mr. Dino




And now for something oh so simple and sweet, same era:


 Early 1980s, and no doubt inspired by Urban Cowboy

 It's hard to imagine today the impact of that movie on the sheeple.  If you could go back in time to summer 1980 on the boardwalk in Wildwood, NJ, you'd see that about 2/3 of the crowd was wearing cowboy hats.

UPDATE: Most of the above are sold.
