Tonight’s the big Elvis auction — last chance to get this animal print bean bag chair!
Elvis’ Penguin Suit Up For Auction
Of course, we can’t talk about Elvis without mentioning the fashion. His black & white “penguin suit” made by IC Costume Company in the mid-1970 is also up for auction.
The Famous Elvis Chair
This green barrel-backed chair was one of a suite of six from Elvis Presley’s Hillcrest home in Los Angeles. It’s rather as one of these chairs was used in the 1970 family photo shoot with Elvis, Priscilla, and Lisa Marie. It is going up for auction on August 14. Via.
Because I’m Tacky
Weird Al Yankovic’s Tacky, a parody of Pharrell’s Happy. Another track off of Weird Al’s Mandatory Fun. (I love the digs at social media lol)
Happy 4th of July From Piper Laurie
The Food-Drink For All Ages
Horlick’s malted milk ad, 1910.
Glamorous Valentine Doily Hat Is A Scandal
I guess we could all be costume designers — just look at the hat in this photo!
a vintage 1935 photograph from Fox Film Corp’s “George White’s Scandals of 1935.” An art deco musical revue that captures the wild revels of the burlesque / vaudeville acts championed by George White, this features a scandoll (identified as Peggy Mosely) showing off her rare bird fashions in a gorgeous art deco gown.
Crawl In The Bag With A Dachshund
Secondhand Rose found lots of amusing little Rieslings, among them this long little doggie. You might find the pinup wine varieties sweeter drinking companions.
High-Fyin’ Airplane Hat
An original vintage photograph featuring Inez Courtney in a surprisingly cool machine age “airplane hat”, circa 1930.
Typewritten press snipe on verso reads “INEZ COURTNEY? featured in First National’s Loose Ankles and Spring is here does right by her art and poses in an airplane hat. And do you still wonder if the movie actresses earn their money?” Measures 8″ x 10″ and stamped on verso with Culver Pictures archive information.
Grandma Susie’s Skunk
A very cute vintage made in Japan skunk figurine that I did not buy. I considered adding it to my skunk collection; but what if Grandma Susie or one of her grandkids came looking for it? So I left the skunk on the shelf at Exit 55 Antiques.
