The Body Politic

Hey, it's Election Season! And Dress up like a crazy character Season!
The 70s were big...they were America's Salad Days.
This navy pantsuit...Yes, a jacket and a pair of slacks....
is so Hillary Clinton. It's more powerful than a fluffy dress.
Just sayin'

Wow this 70s vintage pantsuit is so awesomey...Look at the belt. That's a red vinyl arrow...pointing the way to Victory.

Brass color metal buttons, fitted shape, epaulets, and Bells!




Wave the flag, Rah Rah Democracy!
Go unions!
Wash and Wear!

Yeah Hillary can rock it!

My house is simple.

In a working class neighborhood. Just the way I like it. The life-destroying Investors are on their way to destroy Hilltop by installing corporate coffee shops and bland and tasteless restaurants like Olive Garden, PF Changs, Johnny Rockets and Cheesecake Factory. Oh, and condos. Lots and lots of faux Tuscan condos.
I arrived to....Grass with Cyclone Fence. I've added some flowers and displays......I'm not investing a lot of $$ since I rent. I'm leaving in about 2 years, but since this is our daily life, we'll make it simply attractive for us.

So, open the gate, you've been invited to look at pictures!



In a few years that bamboo will be magnificent! I love these dahlias....I'll add the name later...
The color is very very happy...


Golden eumonyous. This is one of the 4 shrubs in the rental yard. Besides the beauty bark/junipers.







These guys are in a patch of weeds/yarrow that I'm developing into a tiny meadow. As I was mowing and mowing last spring I noticed the yarrow had populated the grass...so, I surrounded it with chunks of old concrete and bricks I found in the alley. I'll put in some bulbs this fall and ....let it go.


Autumn Joy sedum. It sure is!


My Mothers Day Flamingos, and junk I found.



I don't think this will stay up all winter......Lots of snow is predicted.....waaaaaaa. I hate Snow.


ooooooo Darknesss....
Lamp like a Harvest Moon......

What shall I wear??

thinking.....
I finally listed my vintage nurse uniforms...and instantly 2 have already sold!


this one...and this one...above.... are sold....

but these 2 below are still available.




The Mermaid sold....


A Flower Fairy?





One pair of zombie leggings....


In the next 2- 3 days the last of my Halloweenie things will get listed...and then I'm off to get back to Middle Autumn...
More vintage men clothes and shoes.......

more tweeds, more sweaters, more wools, and lots of lingerie...new armwarmers and a few hats.
The next collection of thatyountvillegirl tote bags will be ....some tweeds and plaids with a bit of glitter.
As the days get shorter and cooler here, they get summery-er down under...so pretty dresses and a few swimsuits will appear.

I'm designing the December collection right now..collecting the fabrics and trimmings, and putting together the winter vintage clothes to list come early November...
...Edwardian Bayberry is my Muse....shades of green and white and all the ivories....

These 2 things are in my head, & are what my late autumn and early winter will look and feel like...........

something like this...... a picture of  Bayberry Inn, New Jersey....pretty...Victorian....


and surely this....Townes Van Zandt.... particular song that Nanci Griffith introduces.....
