Amazing Strawberry Shortcake First Birthday Party

I had to share this amazing Vintage Strawberry Shortcake first birthday party.  This is one lucky little girl!

Minted and Vintage.com  has a bunch of amazing photos of this super fun looking birthday party.  The table settings are fantastic!

My Strawberry Shortcake themed birthday parties mostly consisted of a Strawberry flavored cake, a sleepover where we watched a Strawberry Shortcake video, and had Strawberry Shortcake cereal for breakfast.  Which turned the milk pink, by the way.  It was just as much fun!

Preserving an American Giant

  If you follow this blog you know how I feel about preserving our Pop Culture history.  One of my all time favorite things in this world are Muffler Men.  There is currently a Kickstarter to save a Muffler Man, make him a head and bring him back to his original 14 foot glory. 

Visit Roadside America, or USAGiants for more info on these majestic 14'-21' tall dudes!

My nearest Muffler Man in Everett Washington over looks the Navy Yards.

 UPDATE:

The project was fully funded and this Muffler man will be getting his head and arms back!!

Portland Wizard World Comic Con 2014

It's that time again, for the annual Nerd Convention.  What a fun time!  This year I got to meet Kim Coates, "Tig" from Sons of Anarchy.  We also saw a panel with Kim Coates and Ron Pearlman "Clay".  Other fun panels included Michael Roocker "Merle", from Walking Dead, Bruce Campbell, Billy Dee Williams, Ray Park and more!  One of the most fun parts of the show are the costumes.  There were some great ones this year!  My favorite was the Muppets, Beaker, Bunson Honeydew, and the Swedish Chef.

 

Nestle Quik Ads 1980's

Nestle Quik, now known as NesQuik, did a lot of advertising in children's comics in the 80's.  They cross promoted with cartoons, sports heroes and all kinds of fun stuff to get kids to drink their delicious mixture of choco-powder and milk.  I preferred Ovaltine, but I was surely in the minority.  Sorry to cut this short, but I have a sudden and dire craving for some chocolate milk.

Guy on a Buffalo - Hilarious Videos

My sister introduced me to the "Guy on the Buffalo".  I'm pretty such he is directly related to Chuck Norris. Check out all 4 Episodes!
 

Miss Piggy & the Muppets

I have a fondness for Miss Piggy.  Not just because she was a big part of my morning childhood routine of watching the Muppet Show while eating all of the marshmallows out of my bowl of Lucky Charms.  I'm a big girl and I love that Piggy is big and fabulous!

The Miss Piggy collection has gotten a little out of hand.  A few items are up on ebay now.
