On This beautiful theme of items located in a novelty store that should be used for all times of the year… I bring to you old timey hat.
I call it that because I’m not sure that this is is Vicotrian, Edwardian, or created solely for Eliza Doolittle impersonators.
But whatever the style it was, Christine needs it:
And it needs her!

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The time hath come for the newest Professional Quote on the West (and the best) Coast.
The professional is hungry. And when he gets hungry… he does like every other coordinated professional does… make legislation.
While chewing upon the most professional sandwich in the San Gabriel Valley. He said the following statement:
And then we, the good people of the Office Oval vetoed that because we will not have that forceful type of regulation, even if the most professional had good intentions behind it. I would rather toss my lunch into the outside dumpster in protest in an lunch-y homage to the Boston Tea Party (as we are nowhere near Boston Harbor) than have my lunch pushed unceremoniously to the half hour.
WE WILL NOT HAVE IT!!!

Now this is really not a shocking story to add to the “Things for all the Time” cannon.
But when I was a kid in the bustling neon world of the 1980s I was totally enthralled with Elvira.
Like, I wanted to be her when I grew up. The thought of having huge hair, fun make-up, that poodle with a mohawk, was one of the most thrilling possibilities I could come up with.
And plus she gets to make fun of herself for a living, and watch awesome movies.
For a mere $40 Halloween Town wants to help make my Mistress of the Dark realities a real thing.
And not just for Halloween:
Just imagine sitting behind me in a movie theater with that hair.

Good Afternoon Professional Enthusiasts!
Eric is trying to keep mum on a professional quote that has to do with Halloween.
Mostly, because he believes that professionalism does not mix with the world of Halloween.
But there are things that professionals like to celebrate… for example when they get a new email with an attachment:
OMG. Let’s CC: El Boo Hoo Hoo! The lovable office ghost!
♫Lauren
OMG. I hope someone dresses as professional Eric today!
Oh wait, the whole office came as Eric today!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
While you are all dressed up as a kinky cheerleader, or a sexy cookie monster… remember there is someone out there more provocative than you will ever be without trying… And she loves to shake it for Halloween:
My best suggestion is if she’s in the costume contest I wouldn’t make a bet that you could win against her…There is no one else in the world who could wear pumpkins like that.
HAVE A DELICIOUS HALLOWEEN!

The bounty of kitschy fabulous things at Halloween Town made the whole world a happy place. One of the joyous pieces I purchased at this establishment was one of the most adorable fascinators I have seen as of late.
I realized if I didn’t have it my life would be complete, and more so I would probably never be invited to a werewolf bar mitzvah. And I don’t want to be a part of that kind of world.
I will wear it even to wash dishes, I am committed to this hat.

Recently on a trip to the best place on earth… “Halloween Town” in Burbank, Christine and I found a never-ending cavalcade of things we need in everyday life.
Really. I don’t know if that makes me and Christine a little macabre, but that is the way we like it. And in which other way can we lure Tim Burton and Johnny Depp into our houses?
Just ask Christine and her vampy teeth:

Good Afternoon PQOTD-ers!
Today’s Professional quote is a short and simple one. Sometimes when a professional wants to be included in a situation, or added to a long never-ending list of emails they say to you these words:
And when this specific Professional asks you to CC, you CC him with a smile in your heart. At least the Dab does.

Anyone who knows me, knows that I’m cuckoo for cocoa puffs about the 1960s.
I love the clothes, I love the style. I love modernism, I love the matte lipstick, I love it all.
And I love interpretations of it. So I watch Mad Men, American Dreams, Gilligan’s Island, Petticoat Junction, That Girl, Mary Tyler Moore and every Doris Day movie, as much as possible… and now I watch Pan Am.
It isn’t as smokily correct as many people would like it to be but, eh. As long as I don’t have to see CBS-style-comedy (balls… stds, Haha) I’m basically going to enjoy it.
The only part of the show that I don’t really “get” is the main character Laura. Because she may actually be a kitty, playing a person.
But, I do like the show, don’t get me wrong. I realize that sometimes I am not sharpest light in the socket. And seriously I like their clothes. Their clothes are like wow.
Also I like Ted, but that is a surprise to no one is surprised by this as I always like the mildly jerky guy with dark hair and candy:
and here is a doodle to prove it:
But then again maybe I shouldn’t advertise this as men do follow me around trying to get me to pay attention to their card tricks which makes me… so very weirded out.
The blonde guy is nice too, but he may or may not actually be a Ken doll:
He’s so blonde and pretty. I feel like he would match any pair of shoes.
Okay and maybe the conclusion of this blog is… I think the pilot’s on this show are handsome dudes. Or maybe that modern guys should dress nicer.
And maybe this year because this show is on the air, I can finally get my hands on one of these:
And I won’t keep having to tell people how much I want one!
