3. Uniform, thegreedyseagull

4. Medals, vintagesupplyco

5. Drum, onceupntym

And maybe some black and white striped leggings, too?

Tiny Doll Theatre: Madge and Lois

Tiny Doll Theatre is what happens when you get kooky while taking photos for eBay listings. Presenting! Madge and Lois! They are neighbors. Lois is a Z-list actress and Madge is a bored lady.

(At Lois’ house Madge meets Lois’ new pet)

Is that a tiny camel?

Nope. It’s a CAT!

Sigh. Let’s go to your house.

Ugh. Ok.

Coffee? Tea? Cocaine?

Kidding! It’s just a hunk of coral. Cute, right?

Lo, sweetie… Are you sure you’re good with that horrible

eye makeup you’ve got on? Do you want me to help with your blush? I am pretty great at blush.

(Stomping)

Why are you so CRUEL!!?? *sob* You know I have big dreams. I just got that walk on role on 2 Broke Girls!

Get it together, Lois. Hey, don’t forget to gargle lemon and

warm water before your big scene! Oh wait, you don’t have any lines!

Wait, I’m sorry…

You are tough to love.

Forgive me.

Lois: God fine. But at least tell me what’s really going on? You are being real crazy.

Madge: It’s just that… I’m tired. So drained. I don’t know the real me.

You know what you want. You know you want to yelp “Naked as a jaybird!”

in a crowd scene on Who’s the Boss. It makes me lash out!

Lois: Who’s the Boss has not been on TV for years.

Madge: Ah! I have been watching all these old episodes!

(Hugging)

More Time

Folks, I took a leap of faith and left my day job to run The Vintage Bazaar full time. Theoretically, this change to the game gives me more time…

Time to cold brew coffee, perhaps? Yes, yes indeed. It’s pretty good. Try it. 

These Days

What Me Worry?

The title of this post was found in my drafts, but the post space was totally empty. I wonder what I was thinking on January 11, 2011 when I started it? Eh. Either way, these days I spend most of my bloggy energy on TVB.com. Doing things like making videos and snapping pics for house tours. Anyways, recently I had a particularly fun time filming and editing videos with my pal, Dean. Check out one of the clips — visit the TVB Youtube page to see more.

P.s. I hope Jim O’Rourke doesn’t get pissed that I sampled his music in the video below.

People I Like: Hannah Kristina Metz

I’ve been following Hannah’s flickr(s) since I grabbed one of her wedding photos as inspiration for my slated for 2006 wedding (that I never had — long story) and got hooked. Recently, she started up a vintage-inspired lingerie and dresses vertical that I so totally dig called The Loved One.

Hannah has loads of fans and was featured in a Quick Silver Women’s campaign a couple (few) years ago to boot. Regardless of all that…she is a stunning lady with load of creativity — she makes undies, draws, and take gorgeous photos.

I just wanted to let you know and/or remind you about her.

It’s rainy and gray in Chicago. Makes me want to movie nap and bake some cheese straws. Since I can’t do that, let’s do the next best thing and look at some stills from Jules et Jim shall we?

Feelings: The “Marie Claire” Situation

Writing about a fashion magazine’s blog isn’t typically a topic I’d address here, but lets’ talk about it anyway. Everyone else is. Marie Claire‘s blogger Maura Kelly hit a lot of nerves with her yay or nay: fatties get a room already post.

I don’t feel like taking this Kelly gal to task for being a dick or spelling things wrong; or even harp on the unnamed Marie Claire editor who allegedly asked the question that spawned Kelly’s post.

I really just want to take this moment of outrage to check out some hot vintage photographs of people big, small, medium, mustachioed, and wrinkled. Because the sexiest — the most gorgeous/appealing/interesting — faces and bodies don’t often look like a Real Housewife of Orange County. Just a reminder.
