i found this soft, thin 80's t-shirt last week from the Erasmus Hall High School Bicentennial celebration.
The wikipedia tells me it closed in 1994, but for 207 years was a high school in the Flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY.
Some notable alumni/attendees include: Neil Diamond, Joseph Barbera (Hanna Barbera), Billy Cunningham, Al Davis, Clive Davis, Bobby Fischer, Jim Florio, Samuel LeFrak, Gabe Kaplan from Welcome Back Kotter, Barbra Streisand, and Mae West, among dozens.
Here's former EHHS Dutchman Neil Diamond modeling the shirt.
our favorite little dumptruck went under the knife yesterday.
she went through one heat in august, and that was plenty. there are no sugarpuppies in our future.
she did great in her surgery, and was doing okay once we came home, though she was pacing around whimpering until she settled in this spot to watch the game with her dad.
she is expected to make a full recovery, and will have stitches for the next two weeks, during which time she is to be kept dry and calm. all we can do is try on that one!
way to go sugarsnickers!
Hallo Wednesday! Hallo WTF!
This week's focus is Firming Your Figure, the Consumer Guide from 1981 filled with 96 pages of a woman in Adidas jogging shorts over panty hose (sometimes legwarmers) demonstrating 7 days of exercises designed to give you the best figure you've ever had.
This glorious magazine was sent to me by my friend Allison from Robin Egg Surprise Vintage.
Start off with some abdominal exercises.
Do the best you can.
You should feel a tingling in the legs.
Run in place, then grab your foot.
Don't forget your wrists.
Now slump.
And hunch.
And slump again.
That's it! You got it.
As with all wtf wednesdays, there are no answers, only questions leading to more questions.

New WTF this week:
Today is my dad's birthday.
Here he is winning the Rhode Island Jr. Chamber of Commerce Golf Sportsmanship Award in 1959.
He's in a seersucker suit, and that's my dearly departed grandpa Wallace cut off on the left behind him.
Of course he won this award, he is the most right-minded, selfless, even-keeled person you could ever meet! The other kids never had a chance.
Happy birthday Big Papi!
