Went antiquing today to try and find some accessor

Went antiquing today to try and find some accessories for a costume I’m working on and instead found a Gunne Sax dress, a funky pumpkin, and this ashtray! I screamed when I found it, as it’s the first piece from the Pink Pussycat I’ve found in the wild! And in one of my favorite spaces so less, @space52vintage in @orangecircleantiquemall . In 1961 Alice Schiller’s husband came home to tell her he wanted to open a strip club. After bursting into tears she decided, well if we are going to do this, then I’m going to make this the best darn strip club there ever was, and started a school. Sally Marr, mother of comedian Lenny Bruce, was the instructor and the place gained quite the reputation. In 1966 the Pink Pussycat hit the big screen with The Swinger being filmed there for Ann-Margret’s striptease. However the the curtain came down relatively quick, in 1970 the Pink Pussycat closed, and the location was home to various other clubs. Today it is Delilah. An ultra glamours supper club I hope to one day dine at! If you want to learn even more about the Pink Pussycat, visit the blog (link in my bio) and search “Pink Pussycat.” 💕🐱💕

October is here! It’s my favorite month, full of mystery, possibilities, spooky stories, and sweet treats. One of my favorite spooky stories is The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and I’m here to remind SoCal locals that Anaheim’s @muzeo has a special exhibit celebrating the 200th anniversary of that iconic tale, and it runs until the end of the month! So rush over as if the Headless Horseman himself is after you! Did I mention it’s only $5? $4 if you’re an Anaheim resident! Curated by @artofclarksilva the exhibit is part artifacts (including an original piece of concept art by Mary Blair!) part art show with unique interpretations of the Headless Horseman, it’s a great way to spend part of your October. Then pop over to @packingdistrict for a bite to eat! Can’t get enough Sleepy Hollow? I recently found the account @thecurseofsleepyhollow that posts lots of great images!

BLOGGED! Our home is all decorated for Halloween!

After growing up with Scooby Doo on Cartoon Networ

After growing up with Scooby Doo on Cartoon Network, in 1998 the direct to video movie Scooby Doo on Zombie Island was released, and it was great. The next year the followed up with a movie that would literally change my life, Scooby Doo and the Witch’s Ghost. I dressed up as Thorn for Halloween that year (no one knew who I was) and rocked out to the CD that was released. The film became a staple of sleepovers with my best friend at the time, and we felt like the weirdos as no one else was into anything Scooby Doo. I did a deep dive into Wicca. I also never outgrew Scooby Doo. Flash forward 20 years later and I’m in line at Buffalo Exchange and the person behind me has a Hex Girls shirt on. I freak out and ask them where they got it…Hot Topic. At that time they only had one shirt, but over the next few years they’ve released more, and honestly it’s bizarre! But I’m here for it. I’ve bought almost every one they have made. I went from literally no one knowing what I was talking about to seeing it on a ton of shirts, Funko Pops being made (which I sadly missed out on 😭) and this year a mini backpack is being released (preordered that shit!) but honestly I still need more in my life! So last year, inspired by @theamazingjustus and her amazing spirit boards (of which I have three of) I attempted to do my own, featuring the Hex Girls. She wasn’t kidding when she said these take a toll on your hands. And this isn’t anywhere near the amount of detail she does. Now if I can just my Hanna-Barbera theme park idea that I have, I can make Oak Haven’s Autumn Fest featuring the Hex Girls a reality. Who do I need to talk to?! #HexGirls #ScoobyDoo #ScoobyDooAndTheWitchsGhost

It only took 7 years (or should it be 6? Are we counting 2020?) but I finally made it to Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. Amid COVID, I am being very selective about our Halloween outings. When it came to Halloween theme park events, Patrick and I limited ourselves to just HHN (No Oogie Boogie Party, No Scary Farm, etc.) for a few reasons… we had never done it before, LA county requires masks indoors (which includes mazes, Orange County has no indoor mask mandate, Disneyland instituted it on their own for their property) and for once most of the mazes were subject matter I had interest in. We also opted to do Express, which while costing more, meant we didn’t have to be crammed in with other guests while in line, and it was well worth it. We also wore our masks the entire time except when eating or drinking. While there won’t be a blog post about our evening, look for two blog posts this week! And I swear I’ll get to photographing the home for Halloween soon! In the meantime…Stay safe! Wear a mask! Get vaccinated!
