For your Amusement
Apparently the Simplicity pattern lady will dance to anything. I think we can all agree she has some sweet moves, not unlike a metronome. I only wish I had that outfit. (For the best effect play the song I’ve chosen at the bottom of the post.)
This may be something only a cat lover would enjoy. Then again, I’m sure we’ve all had relationships like this. If you’re a mom, it’s likely you’ve suffered the figurative foot in the face on many occasions.
I’m pretty sure I pulled this stunt once or twice.
I really believe this label would save a lot of fine garments.
Don’t pretend you haven’t felt this way before. Although my experience is usually the opposite. I exit the salon, run to my car, sunglasses on, and promptly destroy ‘the do’ that took an hour to create. I often have to duck down in my car seat so my “stylist” doesn’t see me.
Who doesn’t LOVE Bobby Sherman?
Hahaha, glad I caught this before I left the screen. I want to learn how to do that thing with the Simplicity! And the cat one is hilarious. Mine do that all the time.
LOL! Glad you got a little laugh. I’m in a weird mood today and just thought this would be an easy post. The cat one cracks me up. 😀
Bravo Gripping
I wonder if that pattern lady offers dance lessons?
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
Haha! If she offered dance lessons I might be tempted to take them. She seems perpetually happy and no matter what song I put on, her simple moves seem to fit. Let’s not forget her outfit! The woman behind her is also bopping along — I hadn’t noticed before. lol!
Gripping
Dearest Gripping
I’ve just seen her co-dancer – The Dandy wants to join their troupe!
Do you think the uniform is compulsory?
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
haha! Oh, Dandy, that’s too funny! Perhaps we can both join? I think if we put our heads together we can come up with something more fabulous to wear — but what fragrance to wear…? 😉
Gripping
Oh I think something tropical….Eden by Cacharel (though then we would have to wear nothing or just fig leaves). Or maybe Youth Dew then we could wear what we wanted as everyone would be distracted by the massive perfume!!
Yours ever
The Perfumed Dandy
Youth Dew it is!!
Why are all my favorites posting right now when I have to go to work? lol. I am writing this to ya as Bobby is singing to me in the background. I love your clever post today! You are too smart! You always blast me right back to the same past you remember! I love it! 😉
I loved this song. How funny… have you ever listened to the words? Cracking up!
How many posters did you have of his face in your room? I think i must have had at least five! So funny Thanks for this!
Have a good day!
xoxo
That dancing lady makes me laugh because no matter what song I put on she seems to keep the beat. I figured Bobby Sherman would be sort of happy and of the same time period. You and I probably had the same posters, David Cassidy, too! I might have had a few Davy Jones, too! LOL!
Have a good day at work. You can always pull this out on your break and it will put a smile on your pretty face. 🙂
Lisa, this was amusing. I love how the title cut right through the BS. It’s like you had a simplicity pattern! Love how you got all giffy with it. On a side note, if Jonathan Silverman ever wanted to star in a Lifetime original movie about Bobby Sherman, he could soooo pull it off. An all over color lift, a few blond highlights, and a Village People costume and he’d be set. I know Bobby’s hip action is mesmerizing, but take a look at his face and see if you think so too. HA!
I really have been rockin’ the gifs lately, I can’t lie. They’re addicting. This one is a real hodge podge. It would have been enough to just use the Simplicity pattern and the music, but oh no, I always go overboard and end up diluting the whole thing. I like to think there’s a little something for everyone. Yeah, that’s the ticket. 😉
I can see Jonathan Silverman! There would have to be some alterations, like the hair, outfit and dance moves, but yes, Honie, I think you’re right.
The hip action is pleasing and when you combine it with the fringe on his sleeves and leather pants… let’s just say it’s a good look for him. He might be the only one from that era who could get away with a full satin fringe. LOL!!
Overboard – schmoverboard! I think it’s awesome. 😉
Thanks, Honie!
love this post–it is so entertaining–I so forgot about Bobby Sherman — what a great walk down teenage memory lane–and I have the same problem as you with hair stylists–now I cut my own–which may sound awful–but I get compliments all the time
haha! The hair stylist nightmare. I’d say only about 1 in 10 times do I feel like a beauty queen. I’m not brave enough to cut my own. Yours is probably more forgiving. I’m sure it looks great.
Bobby Sherman always makes me happy with his little dimples and silly lyrics. Teenage girl crush… Yes, indeed.
That pants suit! I think the Simplicity Lady is doing the Manhattan Shuffle 😉
Did you know Mr. Sherman is an officer in the LAPD that specializes in training Emergency Medical Techs? How cool is that?!?
Lol! The Manhattan Shuffle!! Dandy and I would like to join their dance troupe. I’m sure they’d be pleased to welcome you, as well. (Please notice the girl in the background is bopping her head.) haha!
I remember hearing about Mr. Sherman’s career change a long time ago. Wouldn’t that be fun to have him show up for your emergency? Of course it would have to be a minor emergency, I’d like to be in full control of my faculties, otherwise what would the point be? 😉
I think I remember the steps 😉
As to Mr. Sherman… Even at this stage in my life I’m sure he’d make my heart flutter! Quick – I need to be monitored! 🙂
That washing thing – true!
And all the others are great as well. You made my day Lisa :).
I’m glad it made you smile. Yeah, the washing instructions are so perfect. I wish my kids had had better instructions. I guess mostly they just didn’t wash their clothes when it was too complicated. haha!
Hey, I still have Simplicity patterns from that era in my sewing box! The ladies on the front aren’t quite so active, though. Thanks for a fun post that made me smile and bop along. (Bobby Sherman was so cute.)
You don’t THINK they’re active, but after you place them back in the sewing box or drawer they come alive! Bwahaha!! But seriously, I probably have a few lying around as well. Those were the days, when we had time and the inclination to actually make clothes. What was wrong with us? LOL!
That was back when it was actually cheaper to make clothes than to buy them. Now fabric is so expensive, I can go out and buy two ready-made garments for what it would cost to make one myself. It’s sad, but at least I don’t feel guilty about not making my own clothes. 😉
Haha, Lisa! What a great pick me up! I laughed at everything. I especially the kick in the face. Got to love the kitties. If only that pattern would dance off the page into a real life outfit. That would be something!
I love the simplicity pattern lady because every time I check on her she’s still smiling and dancing up a storm. No wonder she’s so thin! Oh wait, I just checked, she’s a size 16! hahah!
The kitties crack me up — especially because it’s on that loop and it makes it look like the orange one is not gonna give up. LOL! I think only a cat person would appreciate that one.
Glad it made you laugh. 😀
I love that a 29″ waist equaled a size 16! I bet that pattern banned the use of any fabric but polyester double knit.
Oh yeah, I didn’t even notice that! When I was at my thinnest I probably had a 24 or 25 inch waist… that was no size 16! I was like an 8 or 10. Confusing, much? We are certainly a rotund nation, aren’t we? What happened to us? Yeah, that was a double knit pattern for sure.
As usual. HF
Thanks for making an appearance, HF. At least I can be sure when I do a post like this you’ll show up. 😉
That first one is creepy. HF
I knew you’d say that. (I tried her out with some Bob Seger tunes — maybe that would make her less scary for you?) That’s why I specifically added it to the post. Read Linda’s comment.
Love the one about the cats.
Only a cat person can love that one. It makes me laugh because it’s on that loop. The orange cat keeps trying to no avail. 😀
I literally snorted with the parent signature. Lord knows how often I pulled that stunt, bwahahaha!
Hey, I think I used that simplicity pattern back in the day. I haven’t had my hair professional done in years…..the end result is always tears. Every stylist says, “Of course I know how to work with naturally curly hair”……NOT. My daughter learned this lesson the hard way as well (her hair is even curlier than mine). Now we cut each others hair…..more money for shoes!!!
My son and husband both have curly hair so I’m familiar with that trauma and I know to never believe when someone says they know how to cut it. haha! That usually spells disaster!
I like the idea of cutting your own hair. The only thing you miss out on is the good head massage – it might be worth it to go in occasionally and just have that. 😉
No, just stick with the extra shoe shopping, that’s a better plan.
When did we have the time and or the inclination to make our clothes back in the day? We must have had some residual pioneer spirit in us. haha! I still have all my sewing stuff. 🙂
Hahaha! I love the person who was responsible for the pattern lady dancing! The outfit looks way cuter that way! And kitties are sooo cute. I’m with you on the haircut. I pretend like I like it until I’m far enough away that I can pull the car over and fluff it around with my fingers at least. It seems like every time no matter how I get my hair cut they always blow dry it so that it looks like something Mary Richards would be wearing. Sigh . . . I love the gifs you pick. You have to keep doing for that extra added “annoying HF” fun!! 😀
Mary Richards! haha! I always walk out of the hair salon with my hair resembling a mushroom cap! It’s total Lidsville. (remember that show?) haha! Yeah, I make a mad dash to the car and totally destroy it. When it does look good, which is rare, I have no problem doing the Miss America wave to everyone I see. LOL!
It seems HF has a honing device and only comes over to my blog for these silly posts. In my mind that means he secretly likes them but has to pretend he doesn’t. I told him you’re Team Lisa. 😀 😀 😀 (some extra smiley faces in case he reads this.)
LOL! First of all 😀 😀 :D. (just in case) A mushroom cap! Haha! It’s so funny how we think about our hair. A friend of mine used to complain that no matter how she got her hair cut it always flipped into two wings! And it did too! HA!
And that is funny how HF always hones in on your Gif posts! (Which I love btw!) We have to find out when his birthday is so we can all get together and post gifs just for him! LOL!
Bobby Sherman, oh my gawd! And Simplicity patters! That almost looks familiar… seriously. Thanks for the laughs Lisa. 🙂
I’m glad you found it amusing. The simplicity pattern is like a relic! When did we have time or the inclination to sew clothes back then? Bobby Sherman seemed like the right accompaniment. haha! I don’t know any girl who didn’t love him and his little dimples. 😀
WE had the time because we had Home Ec. “Now, these girls can’t sew…” she said in her best old lady voice.
Bobby Sherman! OH. EM. GEE!!!! I loooovvvveed him!
You make me smile!
hahaha! I couldn’t help myself, it’s too funny. I only later noticed that the other simplicity girl is bopping her head. Bobby Sherman rocked that satin fringe shirt, right? In my mind he’s still that age, even though I know better. So I’ll just say that I LOOVVEE him, too. xoxox
Glad it made you smile. 😀
Oh my word! I love his shirt and the fringe. What’s up with the girls in the video? They need some smooth moves from Ms. Simplicity– up to a 38 bust now!! That gif makes me crack up. I have it on my phone for an instant laugh. haaa Thanks for the chuckle at the end of my day Gripster Sister
He rocks that shirt like no other. He’s a total hottie. I caught them too, they do seem a little awkward, you’re so right. The Simplicity lady cracks me up, too. She keeps on keepin’ on. 😀
Glad it made you chuckle like it did me.
Have a great night.
See you on our scrabble board, where you continue to kick my butt…
Gripster
Is the Bobby Sherman video a GIF as well. They make a great dance couple.
I wish he was a gif – more like a gift. LOL! But you’re right, they do make a swell dance couple.
Haha.. that dancing Simplicity lady with here friend bobbing her head cracked me up..tee-hee.. just what I needed to night!!
Tee hee… I know, so funny, right? She’s hard not to like. 😀
lol Bobby Sherman was a great choice for those fancy ladies. I just love his face so much. And those cats are so perfect 🙂
B. Sherms is a hottie, no question. The cats make me laugh every time I watch that loop. Too funny. Poor little orange fella, he just wants some love. lol!
Andrew Dytyniak told me that in kindergarten they had to get permission slips signed. Andrew “Drew” Nitti forgot to have his signed so he forged the signature. The teacher looked at the permission slip where the name written was “Mommy Nitti.” Poor kid was so close to getting that scoliosis screening or whatever it was he wanted.
hahahah! I know I did stupid stuff like that all the time. Think how much free entertainment we provide for our teachers. That’s what the teacher’s lounge is for — they go in there and repeat the antics of their kids. I know this is what goes on, because I worked in a public school for a few years.
Wish I could dance like that.
You can! I’ll teach you 😀
Left 2,3 – Right 2,3 – Stumble 2,3……
By George, I think you’ve got it!!
My mum shrank my favourite top the other day so that label isn’t totally fool proof! *shakes fist*
Haha! That’s true, not all moms are as smart as I am. LOL!
E. Gad.
Bobby is lucky his cheekbones didn’t shave off his eyebrows every time he smiled.
Haha! Yeah, he was an accident waiting to happen. That’s to say nothing of his dimples! Yikes!
I exit the salon, run to my car, sunglasses on, and promptly destroy ‘the do’ that took an hour to create. I often have to duck down in my car seat so my “stylist” doesn’t see me.
–yes, yes yes yes. EVERY TIME. Hilarious.
