GE Kitchens Are Next To Godliness

by Deanna aka Pop Tart

The cover of God In My Kitchen: Fifty-Two Thoughts For Homemakers, by Dorothy C. Haskin. (I’m giving one away in this contest! Or you can find it on Amazon.)

In the acknowledgements:

The kitchen shown on the cover was designed by Home Guide Inc., using General Electric appliances. We are indebted to these organizations for the picture.

Personally, I never got over that documentary we were shown in collage. Ever since then, whenever someone says “GE” or “General Electric,” I scream, “Babies born without skulls!” …I guess that’s one type of atomic kitchen.

“Dead. Wrapped in plastic.”

by Deanna aka Pop Tart

Mitch O’Connell presents these vintage ads presenting babies wrapped in plastic. Can’t help but think of Twin Peaks; I’m that old. Bonus points for the contradictory use of storks.

Holy Smokes It’s The Fourth Of July

by Deanna aka Pop Tart

They say one picture is worth a thousand words, so I’ll let you draw your own conclusions about why we’re posting this photo of a little boy celebrating liberation from the Nazis with a cigarette (April 1945) today.

Craft Scan Friday: Dopey Baby Hat

by Deanna aka Pop Tart

Um, that’s a “dopey” hat for baby… We don’t know if your baby has to be dopey to wear it or not. We’d bet that any baby wearing said knitted hat will appear slightly dopey — but in that charming way babies can get away with. Anyway, enjoy the free knitting pattern.

Pattern from 1969 Bernat Handicrafter Learn To Knit Book #127.

LOVE ME.

by Derek

Don’t worry, people: they’re not real teeth.   Who’d snuggle with a toy that had real human teeth in it?  Insanity.  No, these are fake teeth, which makes them all the more lovable.  Just look at that face: don’t you just want to cuddle with it all night long, tucked in soundly next to your sleeping body, watching over you all through the darkness of night?

Fugglers, the stuffed animal with real teeth

According to this forum post, Mrs McGettrick saw somebody selling a bag of fake teeth on eBay, and wondered who’d buy such a thing.  Nobody can explain how she became the highest bidder.  Of course, the next logical step is to install them into Ugly-Doll-looking things, and then call them Fugglers.
