S-L-A…Hurray! “but Fashion has changed!”
Why on earth is it so difficult to find a picture of Patty Hearst when she first got captured? You know the one, she was sitting in the back of the police car and raised her fist in an SLA salute…she was wearing some groovy tear-drop glasses with that smokey tint to them. I can picture it perfectly in my head and I’ve searched high and low for it online to no avail. No…all I could find is this overdone photo of Pat workin’ the beret and showin’ off the machine gun. Don’t get me wrong, Patty couldn’t take a bad picture if she tried but this one was so staged and you see it everywhere. Now, if I’d been the photographer, I would have really played up the shock value by putting Patty in a bikini while she held the gun. Oh, and of course some stiletto pumps too. A machine gun totin’ babe simply must wear a bikini and pumps! It’s what all the most modern gals are taking to the beaches this year! I did, however, like the still shots of Patty robbing the bank. That cute little stylish trench she had on…remember?, it flared at the waist…just adorable! Oh geez, I’ve gotta get this Patty Hearst infatuation out of my system. I got my new earbuds last night and was so happy to get to listen to Madge again today. I was in the audience as, who else but, Patty Hearst and that made Madge very excited. She asked me a few questions but I was caught off guard and wasn’t thrilled with my answers. Oh well. Does anyone know where the second half of my post title is from??? Points to whoever guesses it correctly! ARRC, I’m looking in your direction.
Speaking of the Madge…this is mainly for the Mr. Tornwordo since nobody else gives a hootenanny…but the return of “Eat This Hot Show” started yesterday and it was excellent!!! Interesting and important topics…I even liked Vera Charles on it! That’s sayin sumptin.
So I had to cancel a doctors appt. for one of the kids since our brand new, less than a year old furnace is on the blink again for the THIRD time…so much for 8,000 dollars…thank the teeny tiny christ child we didn’t have to actually pay for it! We can get heat but the fan is stuck on the high setting and it runs 24/7 and sounds like a freight train after awhile. Just annoying! So it’s been warm and we just shut it off but it’s supposed to get really cold again this weekend and the guy said he could only come this afternoon to fix it. Of course I cancel this appt. and he calls and says he can’t come till tomorrow. Nothing ever goes right, does it?
The kids have a day off school tomorrow so we had to scramble to find a sitter. Gramma will be coming over here in the morning to wait for the furnace repair guy and then take the kids over to her house so she can live her life. Stupid schools…I’ll have to chase all over the city after work to pick up the kids and still go grocery shopping cuz I have to go to the store that has the Tranny Hooker check out girl. I’m only shopping for the kids really because I started my starvation diet this past week. With bikini/machine gun/pumps Swimsuit Season coming up, I need to make sure I look presentable in and with mine! I plan on shooting the place up when I make my Grand Appearance at the start of Poolside Cocktails Season next month! Nevertheless, I made this to-die-for Taco Bake thingie for dinner tonight. Oh my stars…it’s soooo good! Hey, does anyone remember when grammas croched (I never know how to spell that word correctly without it looking like “crotch” but I’m talking about that thing that is like knitting) vests for their granddaughters and they always had those “granny square” patterns? Molly Weber wore one when she basically stole the speech Marcia wrote for her in order to win Hostess responsibilities on Jr. Banquet Night. This was her fashion choice after Marcia remade her into a groovy fox! Well…I highly suspect that the beret Patty Hearst is wearing in that picture above was actually croched by Gramma Hearst because it looks like it has a “granny square” pattern on the top of it. Same era too! Mmm-hmmm…chew on that one for awhile.

I will wear my crocheted beer can hat (maybe a strictly midwestern thing) in tribute to this blog post. I wanted to name my dog (a male) Tanya when I was a boy-child cuz I thought Patty was so cool. Her appearance in Hairspray reinforced that years later!
I’m listening to that now. And I totally agree with you about avoiding the doctor. I keep chuckling about new adjectives to put in front of christ child. Miniscule. Frothy. Itty-bitty. We are such retards.
Oh for the Love of the tiny Christ Child !!!
You Clever, Clever Boy ! You had me stumped for a moment , That was one of Patty H’s (AKA Tanya’s) lines in Serial Mom , I must comend you on such a clever clever title to your post , I am so glad it wasn’t wasted on me , you Terrible Terrific Tranny Whore .
In celebration of this post , I like Adam am going to wear my Pabst Blue Ribbon crocheted hat that my Auntie Joanne from Wisconsin made back in the year 1972 they were all the rage at the First Lutheran Church Bizarre that year .
Lots O Love darlin hope the furnance gets fixed for good this time !
I’m a big retard, of course she wasn’t in Hairspray. I will now put on by beer-can hat and hang my head in shame.
My Barbie dolls all had crocheted clothes. Skirts and square tops, mostly. It was all I had the patience to do. They looked really ugly.
Good luck with the bikini clad gun toting season preparation. Will you wear pumps or those geisha shoe things?
I, too, was unable to find any photos of Our Lady of Liberation in the back of the police car. However, while googling for the photo, I did find (for reasons I still don’t quite understand) this picture of a naked, disemboweled Paris Hilton sculpture:

i clicked on here to read your post…went to get something to drink..forgot about it and now im back…i forgot what you said..im going to try again tomorrow..im so tired im left handed..
I remember when my mom mastered the Granny Square. We had crocheted everything! Ponchos, afghans, cushions, Christmas stockings…God, it was so retarded. No wonder I’m emotionally scarred.
I have a picture of my mother at about age 14 wearing one of those crocheted vests, too! Poor darling Marcia ’s life wasn’t a bed of roses, was it? It’s hard being the cute, fabulous one all the time isn’t it? You should know the answer to that one, Kevin!
Oh, and please post a pic of you in fine shooting form by the pool in your speedo? That would make up for the April snow shower we had yesterday! We winter people need something to look forward, right?!
