Bazaar Was Bizarre

We visited the Blue Genie Art Bazaar in Austin, hoping to find some unique gifts. This art was easy on the eyes.

Small booths showcased different artists with a wide range of talents.

Some prints revealed the artists’ love of the city.

Some things made me hungry.

Some things just plain creeped me out.

And some just hurt my eyes.

In the end, we wound up leaving empty-handed. Although the pieces were interesting, they were vastly overpriced. Perhaps they were intended for pretentious, high-income Austin hipsters who congratulate themselves on funding the hobbies of former U.T. art majors. Too harsh? So is $55 for a set of six coasters. And with so many children there, it seemed curious that many items were covered in curse words, too filthy for me to type here. One thing’s for sure: Austin is still keeping Austin weird.

What Sorority Girls Do For Fun

They ride banisters backwards in their pedal pushers.

They play a rousing game of Old Maid.

Sometimes Linda plays a mad, mad guitar.

Sue can rock an old piano whilst wearing a kerchief.

But it isn’t always fun and games. Sometimes things go wrong, like having a flat tire.

Or the TV stops working.

And being slaves to fashion is hard work!

But the most fun is a slumber party, with nightgowns and curlers in their hair.

Yep, there’s no doubt about it. These gals know how to have a good time!

Greeks Raise The Roof

I am as excited as the Saturday Night Live Target lady today! Not only did I procure another ancient history yearbook for my collection, but it cost ONE DOLLAH. Yippee!

It was during this 1963-1964 school year that JFK was shot and killed. But honestly I don’t know if that was enough to make these Oklahoma Sooners put down their cups for one second. The fraternities and sororities sure knew how to party:

I didn’t know “raise the roof” was a popular term fifty years ago, but these fun-loving Greeks were clearly raising it.
