Punky Power


Time is short. My bed is calling. Loudly.

But because it was requested, I am posting a picture of the two items I won on eBay today. Yes Locket. Two of them. I am very excited. You are possibly the only person (besides Flatmate A) who will be as excited as me.


Instructions on how you can be even more excited Locket, will appear at the bottom of the post.

Item 1:





Early Punky. Back when she had her chubby little Punky cheeks. This is the first one I stumbled across when looking through the vintage clothing section and I just had to bid on it immediately. It will go perfectly with my pink cons. I may even have to go all out and put my hair in pigtails when wearing it.

Later the same night (funny how its always a good idea to bid for items on eBay at night rather than in the cold light of day), I discovered the next one. Of course, I liked this picture better, so I had to make another bid.

Item 2:

This one is apparently on a white baby doll t-shirt. It may require some alteration a la my Goonies, Mork & Mindy and Free Annyong (Arrested Development) t-shirts* but we'll wait and see when it arrives all the way from Las Vegas.

If you happen to be attending Homebake this year and see a girl in either one of these t-shirts, then its probably me. If you don't find the thought of a grown up wearing a Punky Brewster t-shirt at all disturbing then feel free to make yourself known to me. Chances are we'll get along great.

Alternatively, you may see someone wearing the pink version of this t-shirt which was also purchased the other night (front & back images shown). If you know what this is, then I definitely want you to say hi:

Everbody wants something.

Night!

* By alterations, I mean I cut the neck bit off (because I hate having t-shirts high around my neck) in a hacked off/roughed up kinda way. Sometimes I do a bit of scissoring with the sleeves too, depending on how long they are.

This last bit is for Locket:
Go to eBay and type in "Vintage Punky" in the Women's Clothing section. Its that easy. There are multiple versions of the pink one available. You may need to go to the US eBay site to find the other one... I can't quite remember how I got there as a few glasses of vino had been consumed in the hours prior to purchasing.

Welcome Weston!

Now what's this you say? The apocalypse is coming? Tomorrow?

But it can't!

I don't have my Punky tshirts yet and a girl has to be dressed properly for the apocalypse!!

And D**** I am soooo excited about Homebake. So excited.

So the apocalypse will have to wait. At least until after Homebake.

My goodness!

If I were at Homebake, I'd find you and ask if you went all the way with Stephanie Kaye.

Hoping that you didn't...

Snaps for you Elaine!!

I did not go all the way with Stephanie Kaye... but I did always want hair like Spike's.

Sorry to be off topic, but is that show Arrested Development a great show or what?

magical_m said...

Clokeeeey, when it comes to Arrested Development you can be as off-topic as you like.

I f***ing love that show. I cannot rave about it enough. There should be more shows like it. As an actress, I dream of being in a show that good.

Punky has a kid now. There's something so wrong about that. And that she sprouted huge boobs as a teen.

Also, Arrested Development- without a doubt my new favourite show.

Now if only I can figure out and remember when A-D on (either free to air or foxtel), my life will be more complete.

PiesFan90 said...

Gee, I just checked and there is a A-D marathon starting 10 am to 7pm on Sunday 30th.

magical_m said...

That's THIS Sunday!!

Season 1 or 2? I have both on DVD now so am happy as a bluth in a banana stand.

Don't forget about daylight saving. And enjoy the marathon!
