Nice, um, joystick. SEGA!

By now, you've grown used to my obsession with retro and vintage print ads with, shall we say, questionable copy and/ or imagery.
Even I was shocked into momentary silence when reading the copy on these two SEGA adverts.
Without further ado...



Here's to an enjoyable weekend, no matter how you choose to spend it.

Sneak Peeks and the Kiddie Pool

It's Saturday afternoon and I'm currently at a local Mexican dive restaurant, drinking margaritas. Scheduled posts rock.
I've been remiss lately but wanted to pop in and say "Heeeaayyyy", as well as share some choice "coming soon" items with you, my loyal and lovely blog readers.


Your eyes do not deceive you. It's an early 1980s black Adidas track suit with red stripes and embroidered trefoil logos. On the chest and hip. Men's (adult unisex) size L, in very good condition.


The gorgeous model you guys can't seem to name is looking sassy in a 1960s POP swirl tank suit with U- back. Unworn, with original hygienic liner in place. About a modern US 6- 8 with bullet bra cups in the full B to C range.


 Ulster 100% linen tea towel with bucolic horse and farm scene. Original creases in place. Made in Ireland, of course.


And now you know where the kiddie pool comes in. George loves laying around in his little dude- sized pool.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
