PlaidStallions turns 11

PlaidStallions turns 11

This week marks the 11th anniversary of the launch of PlaidStallions. Truth be told, it was two days ago but life has been so bumpy lately, I totally forgot about it. That would have been a big mistake and here is why.


In eleven years of doing this, it has never felt like work and while it doesn’t pay, it does pay back in all the wonderful (and often hilarious) feedback I receive from you folks. I look forward to doing this.


I cannot begin to properly explain how you all have impacted my life in a positive way and for that I’m very grateful today and this the reason that 11 years later I’m still scanning my smelly old catalogs.


Lining up some fun things for the remainder of the week including a new minisode podcast but I just wanted to start by giving praise where it’s due. Thank you.

    Congrats! Thanks for all the fantastic content, including the great podcasts.

    How about expanding to cover the early 80s? Seems like you still would have been a kid of sorts then, so you could keep covering toys, sci-fi, etc.

    Best blog on the internet. Well done sir, keep up the great work. I'd suggest putting Fashion Mockery into a book, the captions are nothing less then genius.
