Bag o' the Day

Today we have a REALLY marvelous bag, 

to wit...

the King of Hearts on one side

and the Queen of Hearts on the other

Although the Queen doesn't look all that great in the above photo, in person she looks EXACTLY as good as the King looks.  Which is VERY good indeed.

It's a puzzle

...or rather puzzles plural.

A thrift shop I volunteer at is visited a couple times a year by a guy who collects jigsaw puzzles.

Last time I saw him, he was with a buddy who is also a jigsaw puzzle aficionado.

So today's collection features puzzles that might appeal to men, beings as they're all from old timey car advertisements:

1939 Lincoln Zephyr

=============================================================================

1939 Packard

One of my very few square puzzles.

=============================================================================

1951 Plymouth Cranbrook

I hand-colored that one.

=============================================================================

1957 Chevy Bel Air

=============================================================================

1960s Bonneville convertible

Note that the actual puzzle is NOT as blurry as the above image.  Try as I might I can never get these images to be as sharp as they are in person.

=============================================================================

The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star

Barbara Stanwyck for Max Factor Tri-Color lipstick

I posted a later ad with Ms. Stanwyck around this time last year.  That was the first -- and until that time - the only ad I had ever seen with her.

She looks way more attractive on this one.

When I was a kid, I only knew her from The Big Valley, and I did not like her one bit.  I found her cold and harsh.

Since then I've seen a bunch of her movies, and now I'm a big fan.  

Bag o' the Day

Today's bag features a...

zebra

and not just a zebra, but a strawberry zebra (equidae strawberricus).

This rare creature has some relation to the strawberry tiger, which appeared on a tie I posted awhile back.  

Both the tiger and the zebra can only be found in remote areas of  Bjarmaland, Cockaigne, and Gorias. 

You may never see another one !!

The Tuesday Song of the Week

I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with this.  Been very busy and/or distracted.

Nevertheless, attention must be paid.

So today, we got Frank, singing something that's a standby in my personal in-car concerts:

'Nice Work If You Can Get It' - Frank Sinatra

Mug of the Month

The perfect mug for the hep cat:
