From the reedickylus to the Sublime.....



that about sums up funkomavintage......
mostly I look for stuff that's ....
fun...
classy.....
groovy...
smoooth.......
hip (but not hipster)......

Here's 2 things at the shop for your perusal.....
Saturday and Sunday...

I'm loving this acid wash 80s jacket right now...
because it's fun.....
because it has a bad ass lining.....
I'm a real sucker...for a kick-ass lining.....
Chanel and Schiaparelli always put fun linings in their things.....

Ta Da....a Michael Sloane jacket from the 80s...
In Glorious not-dead-yet Brilliant Acid Wash Blue...

I think I see some suburbanites with their 3D glasses on......now making a big comeback in the 2000's......Look, it's granny with her harlequin eyeglasses.....Is that Frieda Kahlo with Trotsky? nah, that's Lenin.....what's he doing in there?
Well dude we just don't know......
There's a lot more going on in there.....
and now the Sublime........

60s portable Reel to Reel player with its own detachable speakers......
you can move this from the Living room to the Rumpus Room......
Play Mantovanni for the 'rents.......
and then later when your cool cat friends drop by for a cocktail......
slip on the Miles Davis, Bitches Brew.

there's a smaller unit here also........




Also, the gals will love the background music of Martin Denny while having a gab session and tossing back some Gin Rickeys and Cosmopolitans.....or a bit of peach mimosa.....
