Red, White, & Blue

AH, it's nice and quiet, coming over here. I've been on Facebook for work---and even with only 51 friends ("only";  "friends"), it's hopping. 
I remember why it's so sticky:
INSTANT RESPONSES, pretty much every time.

Very rewarding to us lab rats who like to push the lever to get our treats.

But not to be cynical---if I can keep FB to a dull background roar, it'll be fine. And since my work involves lots of people and things––physically present ones––that's more possible than when I was writing freelance, on the computer all the time.

We shall see. I do post on my timeline (you can friend me!), but I'm mostly focusing on the store's page:
www.facebook.com/stvincentdepaultwincities

Years ago I used FB to try to convey things about me. Naturally, with what we indisputably know about FB now, I don't even bother.

Anyway, FB-ing is a fun way for me to look at the store--I wander around thinking, What can I photograph?

Yesterday I took lots of pictures of clothes in red, white, and blue, for our half-off Independence Day sale. I'm not interested in clothes, but the textures and colors!
I posted this strip of three.

But have plenty others...

Now must get ready for work. 

First thing, mailing off another eBay sale---this set of "wide-eyed moppets" prints,
 from 1965 >

The buyer told me they'd had this set as a child.

Nice, patriotic clothing! The moppets are really cool, though. They make me think of anime characters, which, my children have taught me, were inspired by American cartoons. And probably moppets!

Huh, I never thought of the roots of anime being Western, but looking it up, I read:

"Japanese anime style was inspired by classical American theatrical animation of the 1930s and 1940s: for example, the big eyes of anime characters were taken straight from Bambi, or the old Fleischer shorts, such as Betty Boop. "

Betty Boop! Of course!

Very interesting about anime. I think I have that set of the moppets or some similar to that set somewhere!

I was wondering if Miscka sold yet. I would love to buy it! I'm not on Facebook so was unable to message about it.

KIRSTEN: Oh, sorry I didn't see this comment until now!
Blogger no longer emails comments to bloggers---VERY annoying, so I jave to go into my Stats to check if there are any old ones. Anyway, you'll see I replied elsewhere Mish(k)a is still available--$5 + shipping, if you want him.
