I'll be glued to my TV.
It's all about the music (and cool vintage clothing). If you're into great old music or if you are a lefty, follow me, I follow back. If your maga or you just want to sell your product (whatever it may be), pass me by.

Many of these maganuts truly think that Trump is the big savior and the world is going to come to an end and Donnie is going to be king forever and smite all of us "demonrats", as they like to call us, into the ground. Insanity!

Here's a photo of three vintage brass commemorative plates from 1968 after the assassination of both Martin Luther King and Robert f Kennedy. There's a bit of damage to MLK but still a terrific set of three wall hanging.

I'll put some more stuffs as soon as I can. I still got lots of vintage men's western shirts, vintage Hawaiian shirts The few jackets and even the pair of chaps! If it was weird I liked it and I figured if I liked it somebody else would too. I've also got some weird household items.
Hillbilly Haberdasher (@vahillbilly.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes indeed! I was a vintage clothing dealer for a number of years but my health issues have put a stop to that. I still have some stuff, but not that beautiful jacket. I sold that about 3 years ago. Had a lot of interest in it and finally these two gals antied up the money & walked on home with it.

We laughingly call them the pee pee tapes and there might be some validity to that. We can all speculate as to what it might be but I will guarantee you one thing Putin isn't the only one who knows, and Donnie desperately doesn't want this to be known.

Finally in 1961 he got us the hell out of there so me and my brother never had to mine coal for a living. I took a friend of mine back down there just to see the lay out of the land and he was shocked at the poverty that was there. There was nothing but a welfare office.
Hillbilly Haberdasher (@vahillbilly.bsky.social) reply parent
That was born in a little holla up from St Charles and Daddy worked at the coal mines not only there but in Kentucky also it in hazard and held your Kentucky we lived in Jenkins for a while. Then we move back to St Charles cuz there wasn't any work.
Hillbilly Haberdasher (@vahillbilly.bsky.social) reply parent
I had never heard of beattyville but I looked it up and you're just a few miles from Jackson where that dick head says he spent time. I was born that far from both of those in a little place in Lee county Virginia The nearest town was called St Charles.
Hillbilly Haberdasher (@vahillbilly.bsky.social) reply parent
Jackson is in Appalachia But spending the Summers there probably wouldn't qualify him for being a real true to life hillbilly. You kind of got to live in the area and know what that coal dust is like. I bet he took some literary hyperoble there.
