Ronald McDonald Doll

Spotted at a thrift store today; I didn’t handle him, but I’m pretty sure he’s this one by Hasbro. Price on his shoe is $9.99.

No, it’s not some new cool saying the kids have (at least my cool kids won’t confirm that it is), Hippo Burgers was a food you could, once upon a happy hippo hippie time, eat at the Hippopotamus Hamburger Restaurant.

The cool logo, as shown on this retro tee, was by Wolo von Trutzschler.

Unfortunately have no memories of this place I’d love to have dined at, we’ll have to rely on the words of others (click-ity-click the links) and ephemera like this that’s been left behind — a cute, hippo behind at that.

Ah the funk that was San Francisco ! Presenting an original t-shirt from the fabulous, beloved and sadly departed landmark restaurant Hippo Hamburgers in San Francisco, California at Van Ness and Pacific streets. Purchased at the source in 1977, lovingly worn then stored all these years. Cute cute cute full graphic of the Hippo on front with logo on back. 100% cotton/ USA made/ size medium with no tears, stains or holes. The Hippo may be history but this fun souvenir can be yours today.

Dining With Dino At The Riviera

The memories — and souvenirs — of dining with Dean Martin at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas in the early 70s, which includes the hotel menu.

The price of a filet mignon was just $13.50.

I’m always nostalgic for supper clubs and Dean Martin — but upon viewing the Riviera’s menu I spot the salad dressings: Roquefort, Thousand Island or French Dressing. I miss the days of such salad dressing options… Now everything is ranch. Ugh.

My dreamy sighs for the old days now include an evening at the supper club, watching Dino and enjoying a rare filet mignon with a salad with thousand island dressing.

Wrap Some Bees Around Your Butt

Sunshine yellow cotton wrap skirt, lined with yellow and white gingham cotton, with pesky bees and their hive appliques. If you want to look swell and make a bee-line back to the 1960’s or 1970’s.
