Collection of Thoughts

Craigslist Critique- The Vintage Advantage..

Sometimes one may be lucky enough to stumble across the most whimsical vintage piece for a killer steal on CL.. and other times you might find yourself sifting through loads of worthless junk. Here are a few shining examples of great finds:

And, here are a few examples of Retro done wrong.. 


I'm sorry sir, but nobody wants your "retro" bathtub

This may come in handy at a chic 80s party, but not much else

I would never describe this as a "lovely" retro sofa

So You Think You Can.. excuse me is that Toni Basil??? 


I was watching SYTYCD this evening as I often do on Wednesday nights, when I noticed a new face on the judges panel. It was none other than the singer of "Mickey," Toni Basil. What she was doing judging a dance contest is neither here nor there. The important question is, where did she get that fabulous hat?


On may way to work every morning, I listen to an entertainment talk show that will remain unnamed. Though I won't admit it, this particular program often gives me the giggles and enlightens my grasp on culture. For example, this morning I learned that you can make almost an otherwise observant statement antagonistic by simply adding "What's the matter with you?" at the end of it. Try these on for size:


"You ate the last ice cream sandwich. What's the matter with you?"


"You don't want to see that new Sandra Bullock flick. What's the matter with you?"


"You've never been to Sun Sun Chinese Bistro. What's the matter with you?"


These are helpful tips on the art of passive aggression that can be used in everyday scenarios. 



That's all for today folks. Happy Humpday :)
