A Smart Fox Has Two Holes

Did I say Gertrude? 
I totally meant Murgatroyd.
But isn't that a hard name to remember?
Maybe it should be MerGertrude.
which, as a nickname would be Gertrude.
Which would make my blog
entry perfectly sensible.
I knew it was....
YO MERGATROYD!!
CHIME IN HERE!!  I MISS YOU.
and yet I kinda' don't. 
When you start chiming in I'll look
like an illiterate goof-face-dunce.
I hate when that happens.
I prefer literate goof-face-dunce.

Vintage Babe?

We went out to dinner last night.  I found out I really am a Vintage Babe. 
 Or maybe just Vintage.
The waiter told me I look like someone.  When I was in college I was always told, 
"You look just like Mia Farrow!"


Which was good, right?  Mia was cute enough to catch Andre Previn and Frank Sinatra.
We won't go into her Woody Allen years.
So, I thought, "Wow it's been YEARS since I've heard THIS!"
I nodded knowingly, put on my best Mia big eyed wondering look, and said,
"Oh really?  Who would that be?"
Eyelash bat bat bat

But NOOOOO, it wasn't Mia and Me-a' anymore.
It was......Drum Roll Please....


Carol Burnett!
The Yodeler....
And so dear fan base, it's official.
I'm vintage, drop the "babe."
(If only I could yodel.)

Okay Murgatroyd, who did/do you look like?
And I welcome our many followers---all none of you---to chime in.
Who was/is your look-a-like?

Naming this baby

So me and Murgatroyd decided to start a blog.
We both own very cool and interesting Etsy shops.
Hers  GladysGlover
Mine  BeatriceBeeVintage

Murgs is into lamps, finials, and she writes the best descriptions.  She's a published novelist, the big show off.
I am into pretty much everything else.
My house looks like a hoarder lives here.  Mostly I like to shop for the shop.

Murgatroyd suggested names for the blog.  I picked one and went off and running.

Then she wanted to change the name.

I think she said
TWO WARPED BALLS VINTAGE.
But I'm deaf.  She may have said
TOO PARKED CALLS LINTAGE

Doesn't matter, Murgatroyd.  I don't know how to rename the blog.
So we go with this.  Deal with it
