Priscilla's Earthly Delights~ 12


Strapless Butterfly Dress





LOVE this dress. 
I bought it in Black
and it's perfect for a night out.
Perhaps an Art Showing.
Or dinner with the Hunny Bunny.
Most excellent for a Summer Evening.

There's Something on the Wing

 This is by far {out, man} 
one of the best executions of a continued plot line I've ever seen.

Starting with the classic, 

William Shatner in an original Twilight Zone episode {1963}
{ "oh...god...there's something on the wing!" }

to

John Lithgow in The Twilight Zone Movie {1983}
 {tsk!tsk!tsk! waves the Gremlins finger}


with the blending of both in a comedic scene from 3rd Rock 
that still cracks My Self and The Man up.
{The SAME thing haPPened to Me!}


Classic!
Even more so, considering it spanned over Three Decades! 
Yes, Priscilla,  there is some Creative Genius left.

Two SiSters Mary Thoughts for the Day ~ June

 "A noise like of a hidden brook
In the leafy month of June,
That to the sleeping Woods all night
Singeth a quiet tune."
~Samuel Taylor Coleridge


The iron tongue of Midnight hath
told Twelve;
Lovers, to bed;
'tis almost Fairy Time.
A Midsummer Night's Dream







"There are moments,
above all on June evenings,
when the lakes that hold our Moons
are sucked into the Earth,
and nothing is left but Wine and the touch of a Hand."
~Charles Morgan



"If a June night could talk, it would probably boast
that it invented Romance."
~Bern Williams










It is the month of June,
The month of leaves and roses,
When pleasant sights salute the eyes,
and pleasant scents the noses."
~Nathaniel Parker Willis






 The Lunatic, The Lover, and The Poet
Are of Imagination all compact.
A Midsummer Night's Dream, 5.1



Until June ~ Sleepless

 Seven Days in Sunny June ~ Jamiroquai

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}
Barbarella

Pigs in Space




You may, or may not have noticed,
I have a thing for The Muppets.
I am up to Season 3 in the dvd coLLection.
Pigs in Space is in my Top 3 fave Muppet acts.

The Muppet's never fail to put a smile on my face.
In honor of Sci fi month, they win today's spot of honor!
