My place was built with a pink bathroom suite, similar shade to the ‘throne’ top right. One of my cousins bought a place in which the the bathroom suite was the shade of pink of the basin in the middle.
When my parents came round to see my new place, my mother took one look at the pink suite in the bathroom and said “I don’t like that!” I then said that she didn’t have to like it, it wasn’t her house.
One of my apartments had pink fixtures. Then came the Great Toilet Plug Up of 1985 when the apartment managers broke the toilet while making repairs, so they just plugged in an avacado one. It was not a Better Homes and Gardens success…
This is Higashimokoto Shibazakura Park in Ozora, Japan.
Tourists visit for its vast pink fields of moss phlox (shibazakura) that bloom in spring, especially during the Shibazakura Festival in May and June.
The park features a pink torii gate, an observatory with panoramic views, and activities like go-karting, fishing, and local food, including pink ice cream.
It’s popular for its breathtaking scenery and photo opportunities, unless, I suppose, you hate pink for some inexplicable reason.
BTW I had to enlarge it to see that the design in the tall triangle near the top of the hillside is a stylised cow. There are cow signs around the park, as well… but I don’t know what it all means, cos they’re… you know… in Japanese.
I remember writing about this one before… Unfortunately, I don’t know when that was, and i can’t seem to find as much info tonight as I posted then.
It was done for New York Magazine, by Tom Richmond, the artist who did most of the 21st century caricature and parodies for MAD magazine, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live.
I remember from last time that he said people complained to him about certain players being left out, or even some unworthy of inclusion… But he’d been given exact instructions as to what performers to include, and what characters they were to be playing.
Many hairstyling products of today hadn’t been invented, so there wasn’t much you could do with frizzy hair…. not only that, tiny tight curls were admired.
Permanent waving was in its infancy, done strand by strand with a metal rod with a long handle, heated over a stove. It was expensive, and some of the women who splurged on it got tiny curls we’d call frizzy today, just to make sure they got their money’s worth.
This was a 2004 special, where the cast resumed their roles 38 years after the previous episode.
I’d say they look really good here.. You’d never guess that Mary Tyler Moore is in her late 60s, Dick Ven Dyke nearly 80, and Rose Marie a couple of years olderm than that, which she absolutely doesn’t look.
Morey Amsterdam would have to have been well past 100 to have been in it, but he and Jerry Paris both passed away in the 20th century.

Nose!
We’re out of kibble???!!!

The porcelain thrones are just the right colors to achieve the desired effect..(Hork…)
What??
But they are beeootiful.

Mine is the same as yours, probably.
Light pink… or maybe a wee shade darker, but not quite as dark as the one behind the green one to the left of that.
Not bright like the one down near the front.
When my parents came round to see my new place, my mother took one look at the pink suite in the bathroom and said “I don’t like that!” I then said that she didn’t have to like it, it wasn’t her house.
They had a grey bathroom suite.
Mine is from 1963, when this place was built.
When I moved in, it had shag carpeting, made from alternating strands of avocado and rust color yarns throughout, including the bathroom.
Just lovely with the pink fixtures.

Pink and avocado. Helpful when you need to use an emetic, either for yourself or someone else.
Search says it’s a plumbing store in Mexico.
I think you can even mix and match.

A clear case of decent exposure!
It’s a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it.

I didn’t recall the “Jessica” costume being that . . .um . . .revealing.
“RUNNER.”

I still have the original “Spin and Marty” in the collection!
Let them out!
No wonder Tim Considine disappeared!

If the Bride of Frankenstein was a can-can dancer.
From the Folies-Bergère, in the 1890s.
The cancan was considered quite risqué, and the dancers were sex symbols, in their day.

Slits in their under-garment short enough?
There were inspectors back then who had to check that – and sew them shorter if necessary…

A puzzle as old as time, how many times a week do we all find ourselves in this situation!

Alas, no Morey Amsterdam.
or Jerry Paris

So can you get warm, standing in front of it?
On a sunny summer day, maybe. 🙂
And the top blows off whe it overheats…

Bluejay – North Texas.
Looks more like a greyjay.
must be a non-garish, female bluejay
He’s no where near as funny as he thinks he is, but his facts are accurate.
