More fun with Perler Beads indeed! I've created a brand new item that I have listed in my Etsy Shop this afternoon - this Rubix Cube Keepsake Box! I modeled this box after the Mario Question Mark block ones that I've been creating for the past while. It measures approximately 3" across each side and...
I forgot to mention that I got my Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings tickets in the mail--front row, baby! So let's watch Sharon show Janet Jackson how it's done*: But where do you get your retro funky soul if you live in England, now that Amy Winehouse can't string two syllables together before...
The last of my Grandmother's formal gowns to show you. This one is bubble gum pink! My husband dislikes this dress entirely. Double-knit polyester, great lace jacket, Pepto-Bismol color...what's not to love?! If it were a tad smaller, I'd wear it for a night out on the town! (If I could find anyone...
The Antonioni retrospective has sparked within me an interest in 50s and 60s cinema. This interest is by no means epicurist, but rather a childlike wonder at the alterity and enduring qualities of the times. This has been in tandem with another new interest in 18th and 19th Century England, what...
Check the awesomeness of Japanese Moomin Biscuits (also in chocolate covered versions). I didn't buy any but they certainly make a change from Animal Crackers - Taken at 1:14 PM on July 18, 2008 - cameraphone upload by ShoZu
Some more news on US Life on Mars has emerged from TCA (the Television Critics’ Association), as reported at After Ellen. Executive producer Josh Appelbaum was there—the last time I recall seeing Josh’s credit regularly was the first season of Martial Law, but I know I have seen his name on...
Just experimenting with my brand-new old Kodak Duaflex. FUN
I reached the 500th model milestone today on Autocade. The 500th entry was a very unlikely one, but it goes to show how varied the models are, and how they are not necessarily cars I even like! Ford Fairlane (NL). 1996–9 (prod. unknown). 4-door sedan. F/R, 3984 cm³ (6 cyl. OHC), 4942 cm³ (V8...
More casting announcements are emerging from Hollywood about the American re-remake of Life on Mars. Jonathan Murphy (formerly Ronnie of October Road) has been cast as Det Chris Skelton, which means David E. Kelley’s successors on the programme have brought back both Chris and Ray—two characters...
This was a great find at Take Note in Lower Hutt today. Take Note is a post office and gift shop run by my friend Mandeep but I have never bought a book from there before. I was surprised to find it displayed prominently and being an automobiliac I paid the $40 for it. My cover differs slightly: the...
AutoTether Boating Safety Link: AutoTether An important device for boating is the emergency stop lanyard, which is connected to the engine kill switch and worn by the boat operator, so that if the operator falls overboard, the engine will stop. However, it does restrict movements and can cause false...
The Eighties were for many psychologist couch filling reasons were not my favourite decade. However, in keeping with the recent upsurge of nostalgia and retro-activity, I have decided to write a piece about my love affair with the little black box with the dead flesh keys: the ZX Spectrum. This...
Me. My back yard. Big sunglasses and a vintage hat. A little color-tweaking for the retro 1960's magazine look.
So I got a lot done this weekend . . here's what I have been working on! Pics as promised earlier! This dress is a work in progress, I got inspired after watching a few old audrey movies, whipped this out and then wasn't sure I liked it something about it is not sitting well, I am thinking about...
I was out at Nicole and Paul McKinnon’s today with my friend Cas, and I can now, with their permission, mention that the 1977 Ford Granada (left-hand drive) that was featured on this blog a few weeks ago is for sale, so that they can get a car for the family. Please contact me if you are in New...
The youngsters at work hadn’t seen this 1979 TVC for Kentucky Fried Chicken before. However, the following TVC for Cadbury’s Crunchie is even older (1975) and they remembered it, due to its long run, even after the packaging changed. (There was a CGI version that updated the packaging—which is...
For Pat, as requested … These were fun to research and a good reminder of what made Chrysler special in the 1990s: the desire to take risks, loving cars, compressed R&D times and having the pulse on what the consumer wanted next—before the consumer realized it. It was something that the...
Someone in Wellington must really love Herbie and The Love Bug. This is a Volkswagen Käfer done up with the perfect Herbie livery, it’s a 1963 model year (which I believe is accurate), and the interior trim looks right to me, too. The steering wheel is on the wrong side, but other than that, the...
I took new photos of some of my creations. I love summer.
