Why So Skinny ?

Ok so I'm sitting here in a 70s poly shirt...and they are skinny thru the shoulders...thank goodness they are knit! I have broad shoulders but I love the color and breezy/silliness of those 70s shirts!!!!



If you were there...or if you are wearing 60s and 70s vintage clothes.....you know they are slim thru the shoulders and everywhere else...

this might explain something......

"[Biba founder Barbara] Hulanicki found her niche designing clothing for the postwar, protein-deprived young women who were growing girls when rations dictated the size of their suppers."

Oh yeah....Love that shirt ?? click it to go to funkoma vintage on ebay....

Drinky Crow... as art...and motion......



funkoma vintage has always been a big fan of Drinky Crow
...appearing in Maakies cartoon strip.....we've adopted the "dialogue"...
dook dook dook....and use drinky crow as an affectionate knickname for anyone we see that maybe has had a wee bit of too much of the "Liquid Funmaker"......
so I have mixed feelings about the strip becoming a TV show....I don't have cable....but I guess I can watch on my computer...ha ha!

here's an article in the New York Times!


I love the back story because I love it when an artist.....an Art School graduate... makes a living from....art!
And Tony Millionaire is gonna make some big Coin!
the mixed feelings come from the weird idea that it is so esoteric....only a few thousand people, heretofore, prolly knew about it and refer to it in conversation.....so...the Crow is out of the Bag, well, no, the Crow is in the Bag.....but is out......and coming to a paper and/or a screen near you!
