Astro PoPs and PoP Rocks

Two of the CooLest Candies from My Childhood.

The absolute best was the Marathon Bar 

{can we have a moment of silence, in honor of THE Marathon Bar}

Astro PoPs and Rock Candy.

Astro PoPs were just CooL looking 

and they lasted longer than Willy Wonkas never ending gobstopper. 

Not to eat while riding your skateboard either! 
Save the powdered Jell~O for that.

Nothing like stabbing your Little Brother with one when he was annoying too!

In the 80s the company reversed the PoP on the stick precisely for this reason.

Oh well.  The Astro PoP crash landed and was discontinued.

But~ there is rumor that it will be blasting off again in Fall 2010.

{pu pu pu POW! fireworks}

I'm actually looking for molds to make my own. 

After searching for a looong  bit of time, I found them. 

Out of stock!

The search goes on.

That brings us to PoP Rocks!

Don't even try to protest 

that you didn't drink The Cola and eat The PoP Rocks

to see if The Stomach would explode!

and all it got You was a really bad tummy...blech.

Amazingly, pEEps still! believe that. 

Now The Little Space Zims enjoy these as much as I did.

Space Age Fashion

 This is what I would totally wear to a Trekkie Convention!

in a Heart beat.

The 60s "Space Age Fashion" is some of the most Fabulicious clothing

to have ever been made.

If I had to pick one reason why I LoVed them so much??

CoLoR.

no, maybe its the Design...clean and simple.

no, wait, ...{shrugs} Who needs a Reason?

It really is a shame that I didn't learn sewing when I was younger.

 I could sew some in black and wear different colored tights.

Space Age Fashion ~ Barbarella style!

I visionize these in a butter yellow and cream combination for the jumper;

a dark gold and cream for the pants.

{although, now that I look at it, it's probably already that color}}

Only thing left to do now is figure out...
Captain Kirk or Major West???

Pierre Cardin fashion...wait for it.....1967!!
Angels in Orbit, 1969 {inspired by the moon landing}

UFO ashtrays

ok, i have a thing for ashtrays...srsly, I do.
My most favorite one I had,
was one I got from a Turkish airport years ago.
It eventually broke to  bits.

One, they remind me of my dad. 

He was a SERIOUS! smoker, almost 2pack a day habit
of NON filter Pall Mall. 

Started smoking when he was 12, surprisingly, didn't kill him.

Second, they have a social gathering memory to them. 

Being a Former {but occasional partaking} smoker, 

it invokes memories of group gatherings,
with spirits, food, and merry making,
....weird, but true. 

Third, I like them better than t shirts and shot glasses.
Especially the big ones.

Plus you can use them for other things, like incense, and jewelry.

Does that mean I want dirty stinky ashtrays laying around?

Noooo.

I totally want one of these.
I don't even want to use it; its just so CooL looking.
