Plaid Sesame

A match made in heaven… I am so digging that orange Ernie sweater, it never ends with Sesame Street clothing. Today’s sole DVD release that I feel like blabbing about is this Rodan/War of the Gargantuas double feature. Both of these movies were part of “Monster Week” growing up and are somewhat responsible for my […]

Sesame Street Week On PlaidStallions

I’ve been meaning to get to this for a long time now but the discovery of this photo of my fifth birthday cake (which was coconut died blue BTW) provided me some motivation. Like many of us, I was Sesame street obsessed as a kid, even my dog’s name was Grover.Christmas 1975 provided me with […]

Sesame Street Swag

Found this neat picture in a catalogue recently, just a cool spread of Child Guidance Sesame Street toys mingled with the “original cast”. That unknown dude in the middle? That’s some sort of “Build a Muppet” that CG was selling at the time. Expect another Sesame Street Week this May, it’s long overdue.Links of interest: […]

Super Sheets

Sesame Street or the Superfriends? No contest for me as I had that Superfriends pillow case (and still do), I honestly remember those smiling heroes making me happy when that would show up in it’s regular rotation amidst snoopy and the fonz.You see these sets a great deal at Toy Shows (although I think it […]

Some Sesame Street Toy Love

You can’t go wrong with a whole page of Sesame Street goodness like this 1978 Eatons Circular has. I still have my Fisher Price clubhouse and my kids use it every day. I do however find the Bert and Ernie Puppets on this page slightly disturbing. “Aaaaaaaggggghhhh!”

Sweet Sesame Street Slippers

Try saying that five times fast, I think I would buy these today in adult sizes but nobody ever makes a decent slipper in a 15 wide. I never tire of Sesame Street merchandise, which is good because I have material to blog for ten years about it.

Dracula VS Cookie Monster

Castle Dracula will be a mess of cookie crumbs and blood tonight. Tough choice for 70’s parents, huggable old cookie monster or a plush lord of the undead? Nowadays Drac would be a big seller at Hot Topic.

Rug Hooking Rocked!

Thanks to Mr Hurst’s 3rd grade art class, I got into making latch rugs as a kid. For about ten minutes, somewhere in a landfill is a half done Superman logo (inspired by the movie) that I just bored with once nice weather arrived. I did finish a snoopy skating on a field of green […]

Bedspread Fantasy and Reality

Here we have a small snippet of my childhood, if asked which bedspread I wanted there is no doubt in my mind that the six year old me would have chosen Star Trek. I was forced to watch it every Saturday morning when my sister had a fleeting crush on William Shatner (she now shivers […]
