American Telephone Purse, 1980 (it actually works…ahead of its time) Sorry that I’ve been missing for nearly a week. Even though I’m female, I’m not much of a shopper of anything and that includes clothes, shoes and purses. But I never said I was a normal female. But if I...
I’m sad to admit this to the world but I have never stepped inside the Busy Beaver Button’s storefront on Armitage Avenue here in Chicago. I need to fix this problem. In the meantime, I can satisfy all my button needs by looking over their newly launched Button Museum website....
Anyone else have donations to give to the Lunchbox Museum in Columbus, Georgia?
In recognition of the 50th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe’s death, the Hollywood Museum has a special exhibit on her life. Yep, it’s this weekend, folks. August 5, 1962. First of all, I had no idea Hollywood had a museum. Second, I grew up on the edge of Chicago surrounded by...
When it’s this humid outside, there’s nothing better than having a scoop of ice cream. No, this next place isn’t a museum, but it is definitely a collector of ice cream flavors, 900 to be exact. Trout, hot dog, honey pollen, crab, gherkin, spaghetti…everything you’d ever want to eat in...
My apologies for this tumblr’s absence the last few days. I know you were all waiting to read about an obscure museum to cherish and love. A much needed rest was in order to get my brain cells working again so I could form words to make sentences that will...
I thought photographs steal your soul, but apparently pirates do as well. The Pirate Soul Museum has the largest and most authentic collection of pirate artifacts EVER! The museum was originally located in Key West, but like a true pirate, the unburied treasures moved to St. Augustine in 2010. In...
Old Route 66 ends in Vega, Texas at Dot’s Mini-Museum. Dot (may she rest in peace) and her daughter collected items related to the Mother Road as well as other stuff like Avon perfume bottles and cowboy memorabilia (some of which is now part of a cowboy boot tree) all...
This blogamajig tends to focus on random real museums. But in remembrance of Christopher Hitchens, today I will curate a special collection of screencaps. It’s like a made-up museum in 15 second web form. Last night I was laughing at all the anger and confusion (and ignorance) of twitter twats...
I couldn’t possibly let this weekend end without mentioning the Lucy-Desi Museum. Located in Luci’s hometown of Jamestown, New York, the museum had “Lucy Week” in honor of Lucille Ball’s 100th birthday. There were tour buses full of fanny pack-wearing tourists ready for fun fun fun! Ai-yai-yai-yai-yai! That fun included...
