Spirit of '76

In the USA in 1976, all the rage was red, white, and blue.

Fashionistas on A Budget



Sporting bags from the stores they could not afford to shop at was the closest Jane and Sue would ever come to wearing Tiffany and Chanel.

No. 48 Was Leading

Cheating a little -- did this a couple weeks ago and posted on my personal site, but it fits this week's theme so well, I'm additing it to the KK mix.  Perhaps I am doing a number on you...

777


This is kind of a cheat as I've just added numbers to their shorts. Not sure what it means - if anything!

The Fruit Bats Did A Number On The Plum Trees


Plums - NOW 4 for $1 - that is IF there are any left after the fruit bat has eaten it's dinner!

Theme of the week: Do A "Number"

Do a "Number" can mean any number things.

What you do is up to you!

fish is all you need


The National Enquirer reported:

Bashful bachelor gal Andrea Lyons longed to say "I do" and settle down, but every guy she took a liking to left her high and dry--so dingbat Andrea married a man-eating shark.

As 40 flabbergasted guests looked on, the elated lady tied the knot with her pet shark Archie in a seaside ceremony at her home in Sydney, Australia.

"Everyone says Archie is dangerous and that some day he's going to eat me alive, but compared to the guys I've met lately, he's an absolute angel," the blushing bride gushed to reporters.

"He's gentle and he kisses nice and he doesn't leave his dirty underwear lying all over my house. As far as I'm concerned he's a helluva catch."

...and so on. The caption for the photo reads "Happy bride Andrea Lyons gives her new hubby a big wet kiss."

My Blue Heaven

Ah, love.  Must be the time of year, because I just posted this on my regularpaper website last night.  Since it fits our new theme well enough, I'll post it here while I work on a new one.

"LOVE LOVE Hooray for LOVE!"

Since Valentine's Day is just around the corner let's create a shout out to LOVE.

Pink, red, green or black -
It's up to you, old Cupid's back!

Big in Japan



I think this qualifies. What if Elvis had a mutant brother/doppleganger that could sing and perform just as well, but had to seek some different audiences?

Side note: this was made for friend and collagist Marty Gordon. Happy Birthday Marty!

Theme of the week: Doppelganger

In the vernacular, the word "doppelgänger" has come to refer (as in German) to any double or look-alike of a person.

The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection. They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death.

That's the definition.  Now let's have fun with it!
