Scary vintage trolling

Scary vintage trolling...

 

Have a coke with your Coke
she looks like she's had some coke with her Coke
Oh my the titles we could come up with...
Coke goes better with Coke
Have a Coke-Day...

 

 

 

old/Old Navy uniform, looks like to me
complete with b/w old/Old Navy uniform postcard too

at this Vintage/Antique shop downtown there's 'even the kitchen sink' for sale
hahaha...couldn't resist that old joke?!

 

 old bike with a giant gear box/lever


Lafayette, LA - above
Breaux Bridge, LA - below

 

so there's still Barbe Poles for sale these days

 

Falstaff beer man, back in the day
Way/Way back in the day...
(on his white horse too--lol?!)

flying Ace dog in his bone...or...
two black cats in bows--not much competition there huh?!

No--not so scary chairs, it's the 'price' of these chairs that's scary?!
(hundreds of dollars--I'm - not - paying...but I'll take a photo of them for ya'?!)

so guessed was from the 1950's - read it's a pedestal chair designed by Eero Saarinen

link to read more about him...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eero_Saarinen

why am I not surprised he was born Finnish
this is 'so' a Scando style chair (aka Scandinavian)
most curious to read his 1st wife a sculpture
then the 2nd wife an art critic
(you really have to wonder whom influenced whom hmmm...)

 

 

 

 

Scary-est kid nightmare ever...
anything to do with puppets, esp Howdie Doody?!
(btw--nobody buy me 1 for Xmas, don't even try...
or it's in the fireplace toute suite!!!)

If you would like to read more tho I can't imagine why then here's the link...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Howdy_Doody

note: I did browse thru & found a friend of his I like better...
Flub-a-dub?!


from this link...
http://www.tvacres.com/creatures_flubdub.htm

(note: how many 'flubs' can you find in this multi-parts creature?!
or better yet can you guess all the animals they put together to make this one--
without looking mind you, right?! There are 7 you can see & 1 that you can't...)

when pigs fly...
I'm still waiting...
and waiting...

 

 

like puppets not scary enough, there are clowns
clown cookie jars? so the good w/the bad...

#FiftyShadesofFunny is all I can think about at his table in the flea market

 

 uh oh...caught in the act
whatever is Aquaman up to, hmmm...

 

mad dog/crazed wolf trying to eat Tinkerbell???
Nooo....!!! Lunatik?!

 

more Bozo at the flea market...
all I can do to touch it/take it's photo--
it would 'never' be a box in my house...
nowhere/nohow?!

 

Breaux Bridge, LA
Veterans Park
She's overlooking all the fair trade going on
at the Citywide Garage Sale this weekend
(tho doubt any of it is in a garage anywheres in town?!)

 

aw--a gator puppet & there's more...

 

gator puppets friends...
just 'hanging' around huh?!

note: must show this to Wanderlust Theater--as they are 'into' puppets...
after Wolves in the Walls you can tell they're really/Really into puppets?!

 

 

what is it?
besides something I've never seen at a flea market/garage sale before
nobody answered me over on Instagram or FB - tho one person at least knew the answer after I answered it for myself on FB...
why you got to do me that way...
Shopkeeper tells me I'm the only one that's come into the shop that knows what it is - uh huh...
And he says 'you'd think folks would of watched the Olympics' - yes I agree...
So it's a Pommel Horse & I didn't ask How Much either?!

End of Scary stuff--for now...until Halloween--mwah hah hah...

Tesla liked No. 3 & so do I

3rd floor room 13

on the way from the #TarotRoom (or are they all on the 3rd floor...

hmmm...must go stay & see...)

 

You know it's a Boutique Hotel when...
(well even before this) room numbers have faces

 

 

 

cottages by the pool, separate from the JazzRooms or the TarotRooms

they have chandeliers over the spa, in each downstairs cottage room

 

 

 

Interactive Jazz image on another shadow (liquid) wall

you move/it moves - there's a shadow pool ripple...

#magic

 

 

 

Live Painting event in progress at @WHotelsNOLA reveal party

#wrhythm 2 painters painting live 

 

 

across from one shadow wall
another of a different sort
voyeaurism at it's best

Shoepick - it's a fish - an ugly Ugly fish
but it makes Cajun Caviar
so suddenly it's - if not beautiful - worthy of praise

 

Louisiana Caviar
who knew
(I could eat it, was not salty, did not pop, also did not spit it out...
still you can tell it's from a fish - lovely sliver of biscuit under it)

 

Sazerak

 

#magicbrew Sazerak in a bowl add nitrogen whisk

Sazerak on Nitrogen
so the NitrogenDrinkRoom
next door to So Bou

 

 

 

Poolside @WHotelsNOLA French Quarter

Before CoCo

 

Yes tomorrow (or is it today already)

is the Harvest Full Moon

what timing...or did someone plan this all - clever

 

#Quadron CoCo - Danish beauty

 

 

CoCo above the pool on stage
peeking thru the wrought iron
Danish is not someone from Amsterdarm
in case you were guessing
it is someone from Denmark
(I lived in Norway--I am still confused...
so what's Scandinavia? Denmark/Norway/Sweden...)

 

 

So Bou is a Design wonder
they are catering @WHotelsNOLA Reveal Party
Fab-u-lous hardly touches a good enough description...

 

 

 

more CoCo...

also Fab-u-lous - and - beau-ti-ful

 

Find her band Quadron here...

LivePainting duo touch-up at end

candle light stars/lanterns in the courtyard trees

 

 

 

#shadowpuddle #shadowwall no 2
over the elevator wall
those are 'not' real shutters
nor are those real people in the windows
each window opens & there is a story going on
we think one of these guys is two-timing up there
then the stars fall & you know it's fantasy for sure
(I mean if you've drank a bunch of those 'Quarter' gin 'n fruit cocktail drinks on offer & then just happen to look up after you leave the bar outside in the courtyard you may think it's all for real...)

 

 

#ShadowPuddle shadow wall

instagram/tweet @whotelsnola with hashtag & it shows up here

at the reveal party on the bricks/brick wall with your instagram/twitter photo

lookie look who's up there now...yes SharoninaVolvo (figured it out by night's end?!)

 

 

Love/am mesmerized by these little bottles, the bottles on the shelves & the bottle light wall...
an art installation of mirrors/lights/glass bottles - I could get lost in them...

 

Chere - my Fab friend - green media wrist band - her third eye/camera -
she loves the bottle mirror lights as well...

 

So Bou is so beautiful

I don't know which is more--the restaurant or the food

(if the catering tastes like this how must the dinners be?!)

 

http://www.sobounola.com/

 

Why the name you ask?

So Bou = South of Bourbon (as in go south of Bourbon Street to find them on Rue Chartres)

 

 

 

 

the beer tables

you get a card

you get a glass

you start the taps

it keeps track

it's like the wine dispensers/cards at Pour in Lafayette only it's beer

 

I adored the lights in this section, over the beer tap tables...

 

Everywhere you look, as in the WHotelsNOLA French Quarter

there is something interesting to be captivated by...

And what did we take home besides all this?

an action FlipBook...

Oh my--how to share that? nevermind...

Reveal the Rhythm:

Dancing Queen

This Party Rocks

those were our 2 signs - we continued the duo-ness of the evening...

duo of Quadron, duo of 2 livepainters, duo of Jazz room & Tarot room...

My Tarot room reading by the way--turned over the Princess Card and a Money Card...

Well, I thought...duh--I'm here at this party?! Nothing like putting on the Ritz or the W...

 

Living Large in NOLA comes to an end (not really, it went up from here next night at the Audubon Cottages--a full moon fantasy was truly harvested in the hotels alone...but that's it for this post?!)
