Capture The Summer Feeling/Help Zigana and Her Dog

Still plenty of time to enjoy the outdoors and enjoy the fresh clean interior colors.  Perhaps, right now is the best weather for being outside - here in Washington, DC it is a balmy 74 degrees and sunny.

American Pickers - The History Channel

The promo says "Follow expert antiquers as they scour the country's junkyards, basements and barns for hidden gems."  The few shows that I saw reminded me of "let's cheat some ole guy out of a cool relic".  But, that's just me.

A similar show, American Restoration, is incredibly interesting - Rick Dale is an expert restorer with a great eye for what is cool and what ain't.

Anyway, this blob pays homage to the American Pickers of the world.

Deserved Break

At the end of the day, when the dishes are washed, the clothes are folded and the house is put away for the night, I slip into the bathhouse and take my much deserved rest.

So many beautiful things this month.  I decided to expand on the Safari Theme of Collabor88.

I'm afraid a few animals were harmed in the making of this post.

Grooving with Soy - I got my Big Hair on!

Take a walk back in time.  

Back to the Summer of '89. 

New movie release directed by Spike Lee - "Do the right thing".  Radio Raheem roams the streets of Bedford-Stuyvesant in Brooklyn blasting Public Enemy's hit "Fight the Power" on his boombox.

Well, I received the new blogger pack from Soy and it has me feeling quite retro today.  I put on some big hair, grabbed some cool shades and popped a cigarette in my mouth - dance on!!!

Soy has created a cassette collection, portable tape players and boomboxes for the hipster in all of us.

These groovy items are available today at Kustom9, which is already full.  Happy Shopping!
