Sometimes I just pay “lip service” to being frugal, but don’t call me to give me any lip about it! That’s my “new to me” telephone (I don’t really know if it is vintage) — but, yes, it really works. I have named my new “hot lips” phone Angelina — doesn’t it remind you of Angelina Jolie just a bit? I thought so.
Though it wasn’t terribly windy yesterday, we “threw caution” to it, and had a day on the town. We considered a day out to be in lieu of vacation — since who can really afford one of those right now? If you can afford one, don’t answer that question, because I’m green with envy.
Vintage shopping is one of our favorite pastimes, so I made my husband take me to my favorite vintage store in Dallas. It’s called “Dolly Python,” and I’ve told you that we like to slither in and shop there. If you are in the Dallas area, and like that kind of thing, here’s the info:
location: 1916 North Haskell, Dallas, 75204
hours: Tues-Sat: 11-6; Sun: 1-5
That’s where we found the wonderful high-heeled shoe that became a spice rack in my kitchen, which is probably my favorite find.
Now, you would think I would have been able to control my shopping urges, because our first stop was to catch a matinee at the movie theater. We saw “Confessions of a Shopaholic.” It should have been a cautionary tale for me, but nooooo.
Have y’all seen that movie? If not, I won’t spoil the so called “plot” — my lips are sealed, but I’ll tell you that I considered it a bit of mindless fluff. Mr. Tucker really wants to see “Slumdog Millionaire,” but he is going to have to go without me, because it sounds a bit “disturbing.” I’m squeamish and don’t handle “disturbing” well. “Confessions of a Shopaholic” was worth the price of a matinee… or wait until it comes out on dvd. It wasn’t Oscar material, but it had its moments.
Unfortunately, it did not drive the message of its title home with me. I’m alright with that — “Angelina” and I were destined to be together.

That phone is ultra cool! The spice rack -cute but would never work for me as I have a kazillion spices in my cupboard so not enough room on the counter to have upteen shoes out to hold the spices.
I’m not one who is big on going to see movies. I’ll wait till they run on tv or if I’m really interested, will rent a movie from time to time. About two months ago, I actually went to the theatre to see a movie! First time I’d done that I think since back when “Platoon” came out and you know that’s been eons ago! My daughter, several friends of hers and I went out for supper, then to the movie to see “Marley and Me.”
All of us had read the book and loved that. The movie of course, wasn’t near as good as the book but it was a fun night out and not a waste of time overall anyway.

Only the spices I use every day are on the shoe spice rack. Most of them are in the cupboard, so they won’t be affected by light
. We seem to be going to the movies more often (maybe once a month), but we spent years not going to movies. I never remember the ones I want to see to order them when they come out on Netflix.
Fabulous phone, but I think you should have named it Hot Lips. Or at least Margaret.
Robins last blog post..Nearing the finish line
Yeah, I thought about that, Robin. But, these telephone “lips” are hard…the way I imagine lips injected with collagen might be
My addiction is old furniture,(there’s no more room in the house for it or us!) My daughter has an old dial phone, but we no longer have a land line…come to think of it, we hardly talk on the phone anymore…It’s all texting, emailing, etc. these days. No more 3 hour conversations on the lips phone, ah those were the days. I agree with you about movies, if I wanted to be disturbed I’d switch on the news, I don’t have to pay 9 bucks for that.

Bwahaha! You sound like me. No wonder I like you.
I just LOVE your finds. What a great name for the phone (I am NOT an Angelina fan, btw… but the name is so well-suited). Hubby and I enjoy the fluff-movies on occasion. We are waiting for “Beverly Hills Chihuahua” to come to our ON DEMAND station.

I am not an Angelina fan, either, which is why I gave her name to those lips
. I like fluff movies a bit. I’d love to see “meatier” fare, but usually it has blood & guts. I guess you can’t have meat without that anymore. 
Love the Lips! Great Flash. Would talking into lips you own be like talking to your self?

Pick me up off the floor! Girl, I talk to myself all the time — I didn’t need telephone lips to do that. But, I love ‘em, too. Too bad we are thinking about dropping the land line. Wonder if I could get an iPhone shaped like lips? Would that be a hoot?
