kinky monday




let's hear it for that lovely 60s guitar sound, beatles bowl cuts, and transexual lyricality brought to us by english-born stars of kinky early rock that brought joy and tears to many of the screaming mod girls that loved to rock and to roll. the kinks of the 1960s brought us engaging new music that will forever be an invasion of the us-via-britain classic.













guys, i love the puffy shirts (yours too, jerry)

stupid is as stupid does



i've been ordering stuff for my friends and for my home from stupid.com since high school. stupid.com offers a variety of not only stupid stuff, but unique finds you're not going to see at spencers, gift shops, or walmart. take a look see at some of this stupidi-ty. ;)


silly straw glasses for when you just need to look cool at all times, even when you're drinking. (these sunglasses also can be worn at night)


these amazing bacon and egg bandages are perfect for boo-boos in the morning!


the umbrella hat is perfect for those rainy days where you only want to keep your head dry.


the "2 carat cup" is, honestly, kind of f-ed up, but hilariously entertaining! for all those guys out there who simply can't commit... why not play a practical joke on your lover by pretending to propose? if you don't get the real thing out of him, at least you'll have a cute cup and a great conversation piece for your home.


a must-buy for any bathroom-owner! i love these sushi bar soaps! i want them for myself, and when i get my new apartment, these are going to be at the top of my list! (i just hope they don't smell like sushi)


not sure if this has been established on my blog so far, but i AM a crazy cat lady. i have two beautiful cats that i love taking pictures of (photos coming soon), and i know this "crazy cat lady action figure" would suit any cat-lover's pad well.


keep your place squeaky (and squeely) clean with this pig vacuum! also available in cow form.


dog corn holders are perfect for those days you need to hold your corn without getting your fingers too grubby. let this adorable little doxen be your guide to a delicious soul-food/native american treat. retro fix is not liable for any misconstrued interpretations of mixing dogs with food...

i love the vintage 70's porn they play on the walls, the cheap $4 martinis with free cigarette, the dark ambiance, and the amazing people i've met there (the bartender's quite a dick, though). check it out next time you're around pico blvd!
