Throwback Thursday - Stupid Sailor Suit

Throwback Thursday - Stupid Sailor Suit

My face explains it all.

Don't Laugh!!  I said don't laugh!! It's not funny!! Seriously!! Why do parents do this to their kids!!  I look like the missing sailor from the Village People.  I will have my revenge.  If I have kids its game on.  They are going to so hate me. Where is that pink bunny suit Aunt Clara gave me for Christmas?  I'll make them look like a pink nightmare!  I'll give them a Christmas story to tell their blog followers. 

Triston is a little old and big to place into a sailor suit.  But if I could get him into one I would surely get a picture of it!!


Throwback throwback..

Magical Musical Thing by Mattel

For those of you who read last weeks Throwback Thursday you will remember I had a mini giveaway for anyone who could remember the name of my old Christmas toy.  Surprisingly many people remember it being their favorite toy but only one person remembered what it was called.  Alanna of Running 42KM not only remembered the name of the toy but even sent me the old commercial. She picked the fabulous prize behind door number 1.  Stay tuned to see what she won after a word from our sponsors...

 

The name of the toy is the Magical Musical Thing by Mattel.  The marketing people at Mattel REALLY needed to work a little harder when naming this toy.  What a lame name for such a cool toy!  I can so see myself driving my mother and sister crazy with this toy (that is probably why it magically disappeared).  I can guarantee I did the head playing routine also.

Side Note: I think this commercial was filmed in the Netherlands because I would bet my next paycheck that the girl in the commercial is Silly Girl Running.  Look at the red pigtails, the cheese doodle hair pieces, overly bright clothing, etc.  Look at the evidence below and you decide for yourself.  I'm just saying...

Silly Girl Running circa 1978.

The Magical Musical Thing girl circa January 2011
