God, is that you?

No wait, is that you, God?

I’m not sure if this gaping chasm counts as a “neckline.”

Now, this is some food I could eat. Does anyone have a copy of this?

Keep in mind they use the word “enjoy” in the broadest possible sense.

Valentine’s Day Countdown: Retro Aprons!

Posted in clothing, kitsch, retro, Uncategorized, vintage on February 12, 2013 by bettiemuldoon

Posted by proxy from Dana’s “stuff to blog” queue while she is on medical hiatus. She reads and appreciates all comments…and apologizes for not being able to respond at the moment.

For you ladies and dapper gents who wish to sport such frilly finery while driven by culinary pursuits, Suburban50s has got you “covered!”

Faith April’s designs stem from memories of  her grandmother, who wore aprons to protect her dresses.  She likes to incorporate Mexican, Rockabilly and Retro themes. She has over 90 to choose.

Halloween Countdown: Dancing Skeleton Shirt Roundup

Posted in anatomy, clothing, craft, halloween, image odyssey, undead with tags , , , , , on October 20, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Pinterest inspired me to do a search for dancing skeleton shirts. I do believe my wardrobe should contain one to display my enthusiasm for the Halloween season (though I’d wear it all year).

Here are some I came across…

Do you like any of these?

Akumu Ink

Posted in art, clothing, craft, undead, wish list with tags , , , , on September 21, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

Akumu Ink is a two person business that prints original cute ‘n sinister shirt designs.

I like this traveler, since it’s kind of subtle…for a skeleton on an old fashioned bicycle.

Mad Hatter…

Deaths Head moths…always interesting.

I want to go here. So badly.

Anyone know the artist for this?

I do not know this woman, but her batty glasses indicate she’s probably pretty great.

This woman, too…

A child destined for greatness.

I really want this game!

Bats and cats…oh my.

Now let’s get serious and talk about death. Great book title:

And another:

I would absolutely read this one.

Another incredible title.

Does anyone have this? I couldn’t find it anywhere, but I’m curious and intrigued.

The first? Great detective work, Dr. Donohue.

I never knew a mortuary could be so exciting.

“Man describes his sensations while slowly roasting to death”

Rather beautiful antique illustration:

Indication of slightly skewed priorities (read the fine print…she’s upset about her hair).

It may feel like slight indigestion at first, but…

Anyone know where this anthropomorphic poison comes from?

Brilliant!

Serenade…

Lovely death and (a) maiden.

Come in, kiddies. A meaty, cheesy death surely does not await you in the hungry jaws of Mayor McCheese.

Heaven?

Hell?

For the ladies…

I don’t think this ended well.

The end.

Big Brother Little Brother Shirts

Posted in clothing, craft, geek, science, wish list with tags , , , , on July 3, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I just want to share two shirts I enjoy from the delightfully geeky Big Brother Little Brother Shirts

I’m always partial to atomic particles.

And even though I’m arguably a little old for this shirt…I’d still rock it.

See more creations here.

Klaus Haapaniemi

Posted in clothing, fashion, wish list with tags , , on June 10, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

If you hadn’t guessed, I’m not a huge wearer of bright colors (it happens, but it’s usually somehow layered with dark things)…however, these bat & flower silk scarves by Klaus Haapaniemi are wonderful:

I’ve always loved the idea of half-hidden darkness or unconventionality. An unsuspecting onlooker would have to look closely to see the bats…but I’d know they’re there.

There are also spider patterns for the arachnid-inclined.

These are giving me craft ideas. I bet some fantastic embroidery creations could emerge with the mingling of bats and flowers.

Movie Monster Aprons

Posted in clothing, craft, monsters, wish list with tags , , , on May 28, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

If anyone knows where I can purchase one of these for a reasonable price…do tell (or I shall have to make one, because at first glance I uttered “Get in my kitchen!”

They appear to be sold out on Etsy and most other sites do not source the sellers. But I’d sure love a monster apron…

MST3K Cafe Press Roundup

Posted in clothing, geek, humor, products with tags , , , , on May 18, 2012 by shewalkssoftly

I am a card-carrying Mystery Science Theater 3000 geek (I must be, to have started a club). Here are a few of my favorite MST3K creations on Cafe Press.

For the car:

When you’re on the go…

I love how they got the font correct:

And there were a number of items dedicated to one of my all time favorite characters: ZAP ROWSDOWER

And for the no-nonsense Rowsdower fans, we have the shirt, the sticker and the magnet.

My apologies to those who are unfamiliar with the show. I promise my next post will have more mass appeal (well, for my regular readers anyway).
