Staycation Fun

Can't afford to go on vacation, well staycation is just the thing for you. It's a getaway in your own backyard. It just take a little imagination and creativity to get out of the same ol', same ol'. And the right shoes can help.


Summer is festival season. Here in Baltimore we have a celebration of all kitch called HONFEST. This is the place to pull out you beehive wigs, cateye glasses, the Mrs. Roper kaftans, pink foam curlers and kitch it up for the world to see.












I have been obsessed with June Cleaver lately.Her look would be perfect for HONFEST. Poofy dress with complete with petticoat, chiffon apron and feather duster. But this seemingly docile "doormat-of-a-housewife" look would not be complete without the fetishy pumps-- a 50s suburban housewife staple. Notice the heels... maybe underneath she's the pinup of ward's dreams.
















Now check these out.pic-route-66-vintage-shoes

So watch out HONFEST the happy housewives will be taking over. Thanx HON...b See It just takes a little creativity....

Girl it's crazy. That when the kitchy is "off the hook". I can't count the many long ashy cigarettes and pink curlers. It's so fun.
