Girl Trouble Girl Trouble

and I can't attend the Prom at Sanford & Son...waaah....
I'm gonna miss the F)#)*)#0- Eagles......
and you know..
only me and about 7 people from Tacoma know WHAT that means !
But here's one by way of Derek at Exit133...

Oooo, Looking out my Backdoor......

well, ok, my front door ...
I'm so mad...
I no longer have my very own CC Billboard...
I have a Shriner billboard...
which is fine since I collect the stuff..
But when did they do that..I was just out there selling a bicycle...


It's so Crumb...my view, that is.....well other stuff too....

Thought For The Decade......

Come 2025 there will be more than 1 billion postmenopausal women on the planet, according to Newsweek journalist Barbara Kantrowitz, co-author of a new book Is It Hot in Here? Or is It Me?
So.....about 1/6th of the world's population will be cranky, resistant to your demands for more, and living in stretch pants.......
Mmm, Welcome To My World......

I'm a Star !

oh boy, so I get a visit from pal..Derek.....what a darn fine time to chat with him about so many things...Tacoma!
We usually only see each other in a bar or sitting on a friends couch ..drinking and laughing.....also one time I killed my computer and he fixed it for me for FREE...
'cause he's like that....
I's telling him about the Wall of Fame at the Tacoma Mall.....which was by the mervyn's which is now closed.....click the weird space below for a pic...


my daughter Annie and Tara Arndt and Ainsley Seago were on the wall (and many many other Tacoma kids...all around their late 20s to mid 30s now I guess) and how it was rather like the Music Man.....ya know ....shyster shimmies into town and fleeces the hillbillies of their innocence and cash.....well, more of that story later....must do research...where is it now?...and more pictures...
The program is the brainchild of Larry Sagen,aSeattle man who says he started thy Youth Hall of Fame International after he grew tired of seeing so many negative images.

"My sense is that if you keep telling kids long enough, hard enough, creatively enough how bad they are, they'll believe it," Sagen said.

Last year, Sagen started the program with a Wall of Fame at the Tacoma Mall that honored more than 900 kids. That program was successful, Sagen said, but faltered when adult leadership pulled out. ...

yeesh funkoma vintage has such pressure to make a proper website....yah, right....
I'm a one-girl show here.....

Clothes make the man....Naked people have little or no influence.
Mark Twain.
So thank you all so much for loving the fine Tacoma Vintage I gather...
and everyday and everyway, I'll always strive to Hook you up ......not like that..
but just with groovin' stuff..
Shop/Buy/Eat/Drink Tacoma.....and be kind to one another....

Tall, Blonde, Slim & Has Straight White Teeth

Maybe I'm just goofy, and I probably am.....but the world needs more Originals......
and that is the premise behind funkoma vintage.....Dressing and living as an original person...rather than mindlessly traipsing thru the mall...
Because wearing vintage and decorating your home and style with the good stuff from the years past takes some brainpower.....
If it was great back then, it still is now.....style recycle.


Since Twiggy, from my Seventeen magazine-reading days, uh, back in the 60s.....and my lust for the 70s Lauren Hutton....here with Dennis Hopper...

(remind me to tell you my Dennis Hopper story.....)

I haven't desired to look like anyone else on the planet....not that I'm so cute....it's just that I like to do my own thing and since plastic surgery is never gonna be in my budget....well, I've had to spend my time Just Be'n ME !
There is one gal, however that really makes me happy.....
Yes I am a Chloe-Girl...Sevigny, that is....

from fashionista.com is the Early Chloe....Great fashion sense...and there's the reason why I love her.....even though
she's Tall, Blonde, Slim & Has Straight White Teeth...(which makes life easier...)
She seems so "normal"..like if you saw her in the grocery store she'd say Hi! (if you didn't act like a big goober) and mush and lush all over her...which would turn anyone off, or should....
