Kittens...

I'm getting a new tattoo..someday..
-and I really want a kitten in some sort of outfit 'cause I love dressed-up animals ...not in real life though only in pictures...
These are a great inspiration..

Shoes in Circus Circus!!!

Just in today... The first shoes in Circus Circus ever! The special edition DC collab with Darren Brass from Miami Ink. Do you want peaches or wino? Ladies only...

Ahh...Moomin...

The Snorkmaiden... I can almost smell the flowers...

...and taste the berries...

I love these illustrations...and the stories off course.. I just found out that Carlsen has published the three first stories of Moomin in one book (in December actually..better late than never...) -about time -they've been sold out for years!

Searching for summer...

The sun is shining!!! Spring is here and soon to follow..summer! I can't wait!!!
I've begun the search for a bikini and a bathing suit...
I must have about 20 bikinis already but I need at least one new every year as a summer celebration...

I feel quite inspired by these lovely ladies and I'm considering making the bathing suit myself so I can get excatly what I want.

Not sure my hair will stay that way after a swim in the ocean..

Oh..Betty... nice shoes too..

I saw a bit of 'The Girl From Missouri' the other day and Jean Harlow wore this bathing suit on the beach in Miami in 1934..

..and Lana wore this in 1946 in 'The Postman Always Rings Twice'.
Oh, those summer days..and nights..

Into the mystic...

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when that fog horn blows I want to hear it
I dont have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
Then magnificently we will float into the mystic
And when that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when thst fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I dont have to fear it
I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will float into the mystic
Come on girl...

Marvel 70th Anniversary!

This year Marvel celebrates it's 70th anniversary. All the heroes that helped us during the years are still going strong...

Ahh..Wolverine... The come hither-look always works for him...

I think it's time that some of the super-heroines had a comeback...
Sun Girl was a top acrobat and skilled in both judo and jiu jitsu. She also had a "sunbeam ray" gun, which could produce a bright blast of light. She also appeared to have some level of superhuman speed.

...and The Blonde Phantom. She didn't have any superhuman powers but she was a very athletic woman, and handled the handgun she carried really well, she also had excellent secretarial skills...

..and killer looks...

We girls can do anything!!!

Barbie turns 50 today!!! My mother was born in 1959 as well but she never actually got a real Barbie doll only the knock-offs...poor her...
My mother bought me a lot af Barbies and being a very political correct woman she would also buy the black Barbies and the brunettes and redheads and give me 'working' outfits for them... My favorite was the blonde Barbie though and my favorite outfits were the huge tulle wedding dresses my mother would make for her...

My first one was dressed in a running outfit -blue shorts and a yellow and white tank top with the number 102 writting on it... I still have the ones from back then, my favorite was a Christmas gift from 1985 the beautiful Super Hair Barbie wearing a white jumpsuit and silver belt, my mother bought that one for me because she's a huge Elvis fan and thought the jumpsuit kinda looked like one Elvis would wear...


It's the girl from Poltergeist....They're here... Barbie has never looked as great as she did in the 80's...

I still collect Barbie dolls, my favorite is Astronaut Barbie from 1985 still in the box, she has a space helmet and her spacesuit can be transformed into a party outfit with thigh-high pink boots.
I really want to open the box and try the space helmet on her...maybe today is the day...
Happy Birthday!

This is where it all began...

This monday the most important 50th birthday party of the year goes down (except for my mothers off course)... In the meantime here's a little history lesson...
Lilli was a German cartoon character, created by Reinhard Beuthien for the German Bild-Zeitung.

In 1953 they decided to market a Lilli doll and contacted Max Weissbrodt from the toy company O&M Hausser. Following Beuthien's drawings Weissbrodt designed the prototype of the doll which was on sale from 1955 to 1964 when Mattel acquired the rights of the doll so the German production had to stop....



-but she was reborn in 1959 with a new indentity...
