Now, how incredible is THIS? Where's Tom Hanks???? Zoltar was holding court at a freakin' FLEA MARKET outside of Huntsville, Alabama and sported a big sign announcing he was NOT FOR SALE! Of course, had there been anyone around who looked like they were the owner, you know I would've asked "how much?" anyway. Awesome!
OMG! A pink poodle/dalmatian wearing a Marlon Brando biker cap, a studded collar and best of all, he has a pierced tongue! A European artist named Tom (his company is/was "Tom's Drag". Who woulda thought?) made this and other whimsical furniture and figurines and this is all that's left from a few shipments we got from him back when I worked at the art gallery in New Orleans. I'm actually working with them for 3 months (again, who woulda thought?) and when I walked into the back room and saw this, I got all excited and now I want him. Bad.
I really was planning on getting back to blogging but this damn job is taking up all my time, and if I'm not working I'm passed out somewhere in the house. I'm pretty sure I'm just too old and worn out to work a full-time job and can't wait to get back to junkin' and flea marketing and you know, the FUN stuff!
I'm "friends" with some of you on Facebook and that's really how I communicate and show off stuff right now but gosh darn it, as long as the cat continues to barrel through the bedroom and do a swan dive on my head at 4:00 a.m., I might as well fire up the computer and do some bloggin'. Definitely better than killing and eating the little mother-effer.
He'd make a mighty tasty catloaf, though!
(Ms. Von Felts, I loved your comment when I posted this pic on Facebook).
Love to y'all!
We miss you girl. Post when you can. Catloaf?
ReplyDeleteOh i feel the same way about my cat at 4am, on my head! What is it with them? Never thought of catloaf...hmmmm maybe if I show him this pic he will get the idea! Glad you are working but I know how you feel. I can't do a full time, well anytime of job now either. Just too darn old and use to my rest. I'm glad I'm a FB friend. hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteawww...I want to be your FB friend too!
ReplyDeleteI seen a Zoltar once down in the states when I was a kid. At the time it creeped me out. *hahaha* But NOWADAYS... I would love one too!
ReplyDeleteI had a good *LOL* about the cat.
A cat jumping on my head at 4 a.m. would scare the living crap out of me!!!
Please don't cook kitty! =p
I'll look for Zoltan and you look for me a Telephone booth! Not one of those Red London Jobs a good ole' "Clark Kent" Model! :)
ReplyDeleteHa I love your cat..
ReplyDeleteChris the workin' gal! Was just recently thinking about you, seriously! Bet it is good to be back to work though, eh? They say around these parts anyway: A change is as good as a rest!
ReplyDeleteGood to see that things are well and you still have that twisted sense of humour!!!!

I'd also love to own a Voltar!! Gemmy the Hallowe'en toy manufacturer made a 'Zultan' years and years ago and I search for one on eBay leading up to every Hallowe'en. I did come across one once but it went for around £160!
ReplyDeleteHere's a clip of him! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1FJvtnfLg4&feature=related
Hey Vintage Chris! Good to see a post from ya! Love that Voltan or whatever it's name is!
ReplyDeleteHey Chris! Since you have ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD now, lol, I thought you may be interested in my post GIVEAWAY!!! My first! You are a good writer and you will see why that is important...maybe.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, just saying hi and hope all is going well!
