Elvis Pop Art Cyclone Purse

Elvis fans have one thing in common (besides their love of all things King, of course) - they love to stand out in a crowd! And if they can stand out AND proclaim their love of the King, all the better. Whether you love Elvis or just love hot fashion, these purses should have you feeling a hunk-a, hunk-a burning love.

Wow. I sang that well.

Click through to see more - they have, like a gazillion. I’d post more of them, but I’m smack in the middle of a sneeze-a-thon and have rendered myself worthless. I’ve sneezed 32 times in the past hour. 33.

Have an amazing weekend!

34.

Our home office is decorated with vintage movie and vintage television memorabilia. Audrey Hepburn’s framed and hanging on the wall (actually, Audrey has laid claim to three walls with art prints), James Dean is present and accounted for, and of course there’s plenty of Lucy and Marilyn.

I’ve found a lot more lovelies online that I need (yes, need…want doesn’t quite get it), like the ones in this post.

The I Love Lucy Mousepad will probably be the first thing I nab. I thought I’d seen everything even remotely related to Lucy, but I’ve never seen an I Love Lucy Mousepad like this. I love it big time.

I’m also completely wild about the ROSEANNE for queen Keepsake Box and ROSEANNE for queen Stein. I have a feeling there are a lot more Roseanne goodies on the other side of the links above, but my billfold and I are afraid to look.

If you have a Target department store near you, you should check out their home decorating dept.  Somewhere along the way, Target really stepped up their game - they have some really amazing stuff now!  Granted, the prices stepped up their game as well, but I’m willing to pay more if the product is original, great looking, and is top quality.  Target is right on the target with all of those. 

They have a lot of vintage Hollywood art prints and posters. 

It’s not quite as easy to find play pretties for more recent classic television shows like Roseanne, Sanford and Son, Good Times, etc.  As ridiculously popular as they’re becoming, I have a feeling that’ll change soon enough.  Fingers crossed.

**I’ve added a “Clothes” page (see the navigational bar above) - I’m rounding up some great looking t-shirts, hoodies, hats, etc.  I’ve already linked to some I Love Lucy items that I fell in love with.  More will be added regularly, so be sure to check in from time to time.

I’m also adding quite a bit to the “Store” page, too.  Great stuff!

Shop MTV.com has a great collection of movies that you’d have a hard time finding anywhere else.

Best of all, their movies and collections….like the Elizabeth Taylor and Irene Dunne Romance Collection….are very, very much on the cheap. Cheaper than I’ve seen anyplace else, actually.

Click through for more information on the Elizabeth Taylor and Irene Dunne Romance Collection and to have a look around at everything else on the site. You haven’t seen that much cool since James Dean was on your television screen.

Oops! I nearly forgot about Snow White’s infamous friends, featured here in the Seven Dwarfs Collectible Doll Set by Knickerbocker.

Adorable!

I’ve always been a huge, huge, huge fan of everything Disney. I guess there’s no getting around it - Disney brings out the kid in all of us. Whenever you see Mickey, Minnie, Donald (a personal favorite!), or any of the Princesses, they take you back to a wonderful time. For me, they take me to the time when my girls were all under 10. Days spent watching (and rewatching!) The Little Mermaid, Lion King, Cinderella, etc. Whenever I see the Disney characters, I think back to those magical days and find myself smiling ear to ear.

It’s pretty hard to beat that feeling!

The little charmer above is the Snow White Collectible Doll by Knickerbocker and she couldn’t be any more fetching if she were carrying a drink from Starbucks.

Is this a gorgeous afghan or what?! The Johnny Cash Afghan is from one of the coolest sites to ever exist, Wolfgang’s Vault. See? Even the name’s cool.

From the Web Site:
This Afghan features a Randy Tuten poster made for a Johnny Cash concert at the Fillmore and measures 48″x67″. Our Afghans are made using only 100% top grade heavy-duty cotton, grown and milled in the U.S.A. A genuine two-and-a-half ply weave produces detailed shading and clear, accurate images for a uniquely rockin’ throw that is machine washable and dryable.

Hot, hot, hot.

Well, yes, of course this is under the category Female Sex Symbols. If Lady Boop doesn’t represent sexiness I’m not sure who does. I mean look at the come-hither looks she throws around.

The Betty Boop Musical Figurine, above, is from Avon.com and would make any room instantly cooler. She’s so freakin’ adorable!

From the Website:

Decked out in a glittery dress and a red hat, this musical Betty Boop just wants to be loved by you. Takes one button-cell battery (included). 6″ H. Resin.

She plays the song, “I Wanna Be Loved By You.”

Boop-Boop-Pe-Do!

Although I wasn’t born until the Sixties, I have always been fascinated with the fifties - the clothes, the music, the hair…what an amazing time it must have been to live during! This calendar celebrates this whole magical, memorable era in each of the beautiful pictures. I’m absolutely crazy in love with the cover of the calendar!

I have an aunt who would absolutely flip for this calendar - it’d make a perfect Christmas present.

I’m sure I’ve told you before about the fascination I have with calendars. Can’t explain it, really, but they send me. I get a kick out of mine each and every time I look at them…which is, frankly, every day of the year!!! So, I put a lot of thought into shopping for my calendars - I want something that’ll make me smile all year long. That’s the main reason they make such amazing Christmas gifts, too - you know they’ll think about you every day of the year, each time they look at it!

I’ve found several ones I’ve fallen in love with - I’ll be posting them on the blog over the next few days.

The one below isn’t really Hollywood-related, but it’s too cool to leave out. I love the whole nostalgic vibe it’s putting off!
