Evergreen BLM Rally

 

Evergreen, CO, population 9000, 97% white, had a Black Lives Matter protest today. Over 300 people showed up, babies to seniors, wearing masks and carrying signs, to show solidarity and listen to two black speakers - 12 year old Felix, Ethiopian, and the only black kid in his Evergreen Middle School class - spoke with courage and humor and honesty. Very inspiring.

 

Then Chris Burroughs the biracial drag queen genius organizer actor, read out the names of black Americans killed by the police for 8:46 for George Floyd. He spoke truth to power about the discrimination he faced growing up here and advocated for real change aka #defundthepolice and finally put it back on us - it's up to we white people to do the work. One day he will be more famous than Trey Parker.

 

There's a community he(art) installation at the Center for the Arts where people can write names to honor and other messages of solidarity on hearts and stick them to the wall. 

 

Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around ❤️🖤🌲

Too Much??

 I just searched my name on Twitter and found this from the local CBS on Sept 10. Too much??😂🔥✊❤

WTF Wednesday: Outraged Seals, Tea Leaf Green Is Back

 Hola Wednesday! Hola WTF!

 

Hola, Sleeping elf gnome!

 

 

 

 

Hola, outraged seals, interrupted!

 

 

 

 

Last but not least, and this is not a real WTF, I'm overjoyed to report that after a 6 year semi-hiatus,Tea Leaf Green is recording a new album! We saw them twice over Memorial Day weekend here in Colorado and they brought the fuego. Here is Josh Clark in a Skippy Haha Vintage 70s t-shirt on stage at Levitt Pavilion Sunday May 26 (photo by Joel Riekel).  

 As with all WTF Wednesdays, there are more questions than answers.

WTF Wednesday: Skippy the Bush Kangaroo, Weasel Plate

 G'day Wednesday! G'day WTF!

 

We found a crazy TV show - "Skippy the Bush Kangaroo" - set in Queensland in the early 90s. Skippy is a female kangaroo family pet like Lassie, but even smarter. You can tell Skippy to go get help from a particular person, and Skippy will hop into a restaurant and find that person ("Skippy & The Golfer" episode). It's a great show full of sweet vintage fashion and I encourage everyone to check it out.  

 

 

G'day, weasel plate!

WTF Wednesday: Do Your Cigarettes Taste Different Lately?

 Long time, no see, Wednesday! Long time, no see, WTF!

It's been a while since I posted here, for a couple reasons - 

          1. My friend Supermama Vintage alerted me to a Facebook group dedicated to thrift store WTFery and I felt the public's need for thrift store WTFery was/is being met by this group - Weird Second Hand Finds that Need to Be Shared

          2. On the advice of my 11 year old whippersnapper intern niece, I started a vintage Instagram and have been posting pretty regularly over there. Skippyhaha Vintage Instagram.
 

Anyway, I'm glad to be back and I found a few WTF things thrifting today: 

You also got bangs!

The spirit of nature...like a beagle

Last but not least, do your cigarettes taste different lately? 

If this wasn't enough WTF for one week, feast your senses on Guadalajara Joe's brand newly released 6 Episode Series - Hayward to the Mutha!

 Tons of old footage and new ideas, fresh dances, and lots of SHV dancewear! You'll laugh! You'll cry! You'll crave flan!
