Today's finds

Wow I've been neglecting this blog a lot. Anyway I went to an indoor flea market today and found a bunch of goodies. Accompanying me on this oddly warm February afternoon was my newest pony, Baby Graffiti!

"You just got me yesterday, now you're looking for other ponies? Hmph. The nerve." 

The first interesting thing I found today was this plushie. It's nothing really special, but thanks to those cheap GoAnimate videos Caillou has been ruined for me. 

"Kayloo you are GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED GROUNDED 

for 54665498746514679 years."

I also found the coolest sunglasses ever. They're rose tinted, gold-rimmed, and are from around the 70s or 80s. I usually don't wear sunglasses but these ones just seemed to speak to me.

God I love them.

Something I found that made me laugh was this old 1949 Christmas book that I flipped through and I happened to find this page that killed me. 

A Gay Nineties Christmas

If you look in the background of that picture you might be able to see... Barbie?! Yeah, this flea market has TONS of Barbies there all the time. I mean TONS. I've only been able to find a handful of ponies there over the course of a few years but I've bought over 20 Barbies from there, mostly from the 1970s, 80s, and 90s. I found a reproduction of the Twist N Turn Barbie in box for like $26 but didn't get that or take a picture of it. I did, however, almost shit my pants when I saw these two for $15 a piece. 

A 35th anniversary reproduction of the very first ponytail Barbie from 1959!

Another reproduction of Barbie in this very long, beautiful black dress called "Solo in the Spotlight."

I could only get one of them, and it was pretty tough choosing. I could get Barbie in this absolutely stunning outfit, or I could get a reproduction of the ORIGINAL Barbie. I wound up getting the original Barbie because, hey, it's the first one! I also like the arched eyebrows on that Barbie better that the Solo in the Spotlight one. 

The top of the box on the Barbie I did buy was ripped and there was a book inside that moved around whenever you shook it so I just took her out of the box. Hell, even if the box was perfect I would've taken her out because that's just the kind of person I am. Uh oh, looks like the doll police is coming after me!! Honestly the only toy I'd ever leave MIB would be a pony because they're my favorite toys ever.

Oh well, that's all for now!
