heyyy! it's the fonz! remember when this was cool? was it mork from ork with his rainbow suspenders with buttons that started the button craze in the 70's? i know it's what started toxic on her first collection, pins & buttons, & she also wore them on rainbow suspenders ~
toxic herself with a friend in the swimming pool ~
one of the first items i posted here at the lost & found was toxic's first button.. i'll be posting a glut of vintage pins & buttons all through august ~
then there were school spirit buttons, these are from toxic's jr high ~
i was friends with the kid who designed this tumbleweeds themed button for our school, he got permission from the artist, tk ryan.. back when native americans were still mascots & referred to as indians ~
vintage snoopy pin ~
as kids we all lined up & waited for hours to see 'the hulk' at a local mall, thinking it'd be lou ferigno himself.. they said he was giving out signed pictures.. i still remember how disappointed my little brother was to find out it was only a guy in a hulk costume handing out these pins! ~
now this vintage rainbow happy face pin has a different significance ~
vintage peace sign ~
toxic's high school ~
high school camp button ~
possibly toxic's favorite old happy face button, non-conformist happy face ~
vintage little rascals, alfalfa & butch ~

this is a flashback friday favorite post from last winter.. more ghost closet antifashion today with sad ghosts & bad kitties ~
i've posted about the sad ghost club here before.. i've been known online as ghost forever since i started my ghost gallery & ghost blog so many years ago, so i kinda feel like i was the original sad ghost? p.s. yes i love pants with lots of pockets! like these buckley jeans from dolls kill ;) ~
this old painting i painted decades ago is called escape or toxic escapes, it now hangs in my room which i just love, toxic's old grand dream of running away & rowing away along a moonlit river finally came true when you think about it? when we packed up everything & came up here to portland 17 years ago & never looked back, & i didn't have to say goodbye to my kitties afterall, we took them all with us <3 ~
also i picked up this blind style mystery horror cat pin recently ~
there are several different ones ~
which bad kitty did i get? ~
oh my! :o ~
watch out for this bad boy! ~
back to the ghost closet ~
another misbehaving kitty ~
nice & soft & comfortable actually <3 ~
more sad ghost club ahead ;) ~
