I used to love getting up early in the mornings before school as a kid and hearing the infamous Flintstones theme song. It remains to this day, my favorite cartoon. Happy Anniversary!

Happy Anniversary to the Flintstones and Happy Almost Anniversary to Me and My Hubby
The Flintstones is celebrating it's 50th anniversary today. It first aired on September 30, 1960. The Flintstones was the first American animated show to depict two people of the opposite sex (Fred and Wilma; Barney and Betty) sleeping together in one bed. In January 2009, IGN named The Flintstones as the ninth best in its "Top 100 Animated TV Shows."
And in other news...Me and my hubby will be celebrating our anniversary in 10 days! Yay! :)
1950's Vintage Patterns
Some more 50's style inspiration for you. *Isn't it interesting to note that we saw several similar dress patterns featured at the Emmy Awards this year as the first image pictured here? Funny how trends repeat themselves, huh?!?
Fall 2010 Fashion Trends
They say that 1950's is one of the top things to look to for 2010 Fall fashion trends. So, who better to look to than vintage Barbie for fashion tips? I happen to love Barbie and think that she's a great resource to look to when it comes to what's in style in the past/present. I mean, there's definitely always been some serious thought put into dressing Barbie. The girl's got her own set of stylists for Heaven's sake! :)
So, here's some Fall style inspiration for ya ladies...via Barbie!P.S. The last look happens to be my favorite. Love the handbag!
Cindy Crawford
She's the last on the list of my fashion icons, but certainly not least. In fact, she may just be my favorite. I have loved her since I was a little girl, and shared the title of major fan with my favorite cousin who I dearly looked up to most of my life. (Love ya, Penny!)
Anyway, I think Cindy Crawford is absolutely gorgeous. She has that look of the girl next door, yet you also see a woman with exotic looks staring back at you from those magazine covers she adorns. That is something that I believe can only be achieved by the grace of God and the good genes that he's blessed you with. She is absolutely stunning and beyond photogenic! Yet at the same time, she makes "regular" women feel like they can relate to her and see a bit of themselves in her. Now there is a great way to have yourself be marketable! She definitely has a higher power on her side. :)
And let's not forget her sense of style. Of course, she's had great influences in her life, I'm sure, when it comes to fashion sense. Whatever the case may be, I love her style. She has impeccable taste. She always looks classy to me in anything she puts together. She is a true beauty.
Michael Kors has said this of Cindy Crawford, "Cindy changed the perception of the ‘sexy American girl’ from classic blue eyed blonde to a more sultry brunette with brains, charm, and professionalism to spare."
Amen! I think she's a fashion icon in every sense of the word.
TIME KILLING CALENDER
Wall clock, calender and mortality reminder all wrapped up in one odd work of (post)modern art. The so-called ‘Chrono Shredder’ provides a palpable (or pulp-able?) physical reminder that all things are temporary, and we can never wind back time in this world.
Created by Susanna Hetrich, the simple red box shreds each day’s calender page as it passes, and leaves the tangled paper strands to curl, bunch and pile up on the floor in a messy heap. This fits right in the middle of her portfolio of creative work, which ranges from abstract installation artworks to apparel and photography.
She considers the calender a kind of performance art piece (albeit robotic rather than human in nature), and it is never stationary: each day slowly shreds in realtime so that minute changes are visible even on an hourly or second-to-second basis if one is watching closely. While not yet for sale, she does have plans to release a limited-edition version at some time in the future.
PAPERCLIP USB
Verbatim is merging the digital office with the paper office in their new ‘clip-it’ USB drive which combines digital storage with the functionality of a paper clip. The new device was designed by arman emami and allows users to easily clip the drive onto papers holding them together and storing digital information. The USB key is available in black, white, yellow, green, pink, blue and orange with capacities of 2 GB and 4 GB. For now the new drive will only be available in Europe.
BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK
RIM revealed their own entry into the tablet market with their all new device named the blackberry playbook. The playbook features a 7-inch touch screen that rests in a 9.7mm thin tablet form factor. An all new blackberry tablet operating system is used on the device.
