From "21 Jump Street" Cop to Public Enemy?

Am I the only one who had an Officer Tom Hanson moment when seeing the promos and posters of "Public Enemies"?

Johnny, no man should be this fine. **swoons**

Now I must find picture of Channing Tatum as Pretty Boy Floyd...such eye candy. **licks chops**

Button button, who's got the button - Vintage Inspiration

Everytime I see vintage buttons, I'm reminded of my mother's old tin of sewing notions. There was always some fancy button with a mysterious past. Did it belong to a party dress or coat? Was it something my father found and added to the mix? My dad loves to find things. He once found a big key with the numbers 329 on them and gave it to me. Why? That's my birthday, March 29. :)

When I look at Julie's etsy shop Vintage Inspiration, I get that same feeling of nostalgia. Her buttons are like jewels in a jewelry box. Some of her buttons even make it on to jewelry, like the ring below.

And these earrings...mom had earrings like this I used to play in as a little girl. I remember feeling so grown up with my dangles on. They've even compared them to jewelry worn by Goldie Hawn. Oooh me love Goldie Hawn!!! I still watch Foul Play when it comes on. Dudley Moore dancing around in his swingers' room is worth the price of admission. Granted I didn't know what that scene meant when I saw the movie as a kid but I did think he looked silly. LOL!

Barbara and Ryan - Aww Memories

Long before the drug bust and the expensive concert tickets, Ryan O'Neal and Barbra Streisand made two comedy romance movies that I absolutely fell in LOVE with. Imagine my surprise and delight to find "What's Up, Doc?" on PBS this evening. I actually saw both of these in the theatre as a child. My mother was (and still is) a HUGE Streisand fan. I still love watching "Funny Girl" and "Funny Lady".

Ok, you people! Sit tight, hold the fort and keep the home fires burning. And if we're not back by dawn... call the president.

Of course, my daughter has brought home another light cold that has quickly spiraled into a sinus/bronchial infection for me. After a restless evening of trying to sleep, I decide to get up and watch some tv and work on my sites. I am so pleased to see one of my absolute favorites on tv: Big Trouble in Little China.

I've always loved Kurt Russell and this movie is probably the one that jump started my love. So perfectly campy with bright colors and martial arts. Typical 80's movie fun! This movie also made me a fan of Victor Wong and James Hong.

Basic info from Wikipedia.org:

When truck driver Jack Burton (Russell) and his friend Wang Chi (Dennis Dun) go to the airport to meet friends arriving on a flight from China, bandits from Chinatown kidnap Wang's green-eyed girlfriend (Pai). To rescue her, Burton and Wang go into the mysterious underworld beneath Chinatown, where they face a number of dangerous challenges and battle karate masters and a 2,000-year-old man – an ancient sorcerer named Lo Pan (Hong). Centuries ago, Lo Pan was put under a curse, and the only way that he can permanently break the curse and regain his human form is by marrying a woman with green eyes (Miao Yin) and sacrificing her. Lo Pan is served by a ruthless street gang, the "Wing Kong", and by the "Three Storms" – three mystical henchmen named Thunder, Lightning and Rain. Jack and Wang are aided in their quest by lawyer Gracie Law (Kim Cattrall), a tour bus-driving sorcerer named Egg Shen (Victor Wong), Wang's friend Eddie Lee (Donald Li), and a helpful street gang, the Chang Sing.
