The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!

November 10, 2014, 16 Comments on The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness!

Yesterday was another theme-day at Disneyland, Rock Around the Park, a day for those who have a mutual love of rockabilly and Disneyland to get together, meet and have a rockin’ good time at the Happiest Place on Earth. In the days leading up to Sunday I had a growing concern I wasn’t going to…

Go for Launch

April 9, 2014, 5 Comments on Go for Launch

Last night Patrick and I got a pleasant mid-week treat, one of our favorite bands, The Phenomenauts, who I’ve blogged about before, rolled into town for an evening of space themed rockabilly. I never get tired of seeing these guys. They always put on a great show, complete with lasers, fire extinguishers and a toilet…

The Dusty 45s

February 1, 2014, 5 Comments on The Dusty 45s

Last night, Patrick and I joined Sarah of Simply Vintage for a night at Doug Fir seeing The Dusty 45s. This outfit contains two of my more recently acquired prized possessions; the wool fringe vest and the Kachina doll ring.  The vest I picked up a local rummage sale for a mere $5! I was…

Rock Around the Park

November 16, 2012, 4 Comments on Rock Around the Park

On our last day in the park this visit, I donned my Zero circle skirt and we joined the rockabilly crowd for Rock Around the Park, a day in which a bunch of rockabilly people get together and go to Disneyland.  We arrived early, being one of the first people in the park, and when…

Last night is up there with one of the best nights of my life.  I got to see my favorite band, The Phenomenauts.  If you have not yet heard of them, I highly recommend you check them out.  They are, simply put, sci-fi infused rockabilly.  They sing songs about robots, planets, and space travel.  It’s…

I Strum My Guitar…

April 13, 2012, 2 Comments on I Strum My Guitar…

Last night I was finally able to check off a band that I’ve been dying to see for years off my list…Social Distortion.  Social D, like Brian Setzer and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, was one of my early introductions into the neo-rockabilly movement, and for sometime, the three groups were all I would play intertwined…

Setzer Rocks the Coast

Before I start in on my holidays, I must share what has to be one of the best concerts of my life… Now, I’ve seen most of my favorite living performers…Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Michael Buble, The Phenomenauts…but the one who I hadn’t seen and who I’d been in love with since middle school was…

BLOGGED! My first time out since December! And it BLOGGED! My first time out since December! And it was to a drive thru (because drive thru everything is life right now) car wash promoting HBO’s The Lady and the Dale, a mini documentary series about the infamous three-wheeled car set to change the world, headed by Liz Carmichael, a trans-woman. It’s one wild ride. See and read more on the blog, link on profile!

UPDATE: I want to discuss something in this photo unrelated to oranges or CW, the blanket. This is a knock off of the iconic Hudson Bay point blanket, this version was by Golden Dawn Penco, a find at a local antique mall a few years ago. However they are vertically identical. The Hudson Bay blankets are questionably linked to the spread of small pox among the First Nations in Canada, and debate for that being intentional or not still rages. However, the blanket can cause pain for some. While aware of the blanket-small pox history, I was not aware of the direct link to Hudson Bay. I want to apologize to anyone who may have been hurt, and I plan to refrain from using Hudson Bay blankets in future content.

Amid the chaos of last year I completely forgot I Amid the chaos of last year I completely forgot I wrote a cover story and I just now got my hands on a copy. 🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s the first time I’ve had such an honor, and trust me, I’m very proud. As well as thankful for my friendship with @jericl . But it is mildly bittersweet, because it’s about Knott’s Berry Farm. If you’ve been following me for awhile, then you know I absolutely adored Knott’s. I even became an ambassador for them. But when police brutality as a result of racism came to a head, and companies began to take a stand with Black Lives Matter, Knott’s failed to step up. I left the ambassador program over it. It’s a convoluted subject that I wrote about in greater depth on the blog, search “Knott’s Ambassador” if you want to learn more. Link on my profile.

Over the last few months I’ve been OBSESSED with Over the last few months I’ve been OBSESSED with @cerro.gordo.ca on YouTube - one man, alone in an abandoned silver mining town from the 1860s that he owns. Well, he’s not totally alone, he has some kitties and goats to keep him company! I highly recommend watching! And if you like what ya see, he has merch (including this tee and more) and a Patreon that helps him restore the place. I can’t wait to visit the place in person one day. 🏚
