August Coconut Cut-up Cake

Here is the coconut cut-up cake for the month of August..."Sailin' Down the Bay".

The original sailboat cake (seen below) reminded me of the artwork hanging in the livingroom of the Simpson's so I kinda styled it as it was in a frame!

As seen below:

And here is the original:

Summer Nightmares

 {From Household Magazine August 1949}

I came across this Summer ad with Halloween vibes in one of my old magazines recently.  It makes me think about how the only great thing about the summer is all the early releases of Halloween stuff in the stores.  It's all I have to get me through these horrid. hot, humid months...

National Underwear Day

Today is the day to celebrate your underwear!  Whether you like tighty whities, butt floss, or granny panties, appreciate what you have!

The clock seen above used to hang over my favorite table at Brew Ha Ha (which has since closed).  It was my favorite table because of the clock actually.

Here are a few fun advertisements featuring uncommonly cute undies: 

Careful not to wear the Charles undies on Joe's night!

Keep your flings straight ladies!

Interesting that the Saturday undies are black.  Must be for going wild out on the town...or a friendly reminder that you're on your last pair of under-britches.

Now who in the "young set" is gonna buy Eddie Fisher and Perry Como briefs when they could have Elvis?

I bet many a young bride got these as a gag gift back in the day!

And lastly here is a his and hers (kinda) matching set:

So cute!

Another way to celebrate today is with a pair of giant underpants!

Enjoy your skivvies today everyone!
