I Mean REALLY people!!!

I know that Holiday sales are SOOO exciting and getting that last Cabbage Patch,Wii Fit,or Fuzzy Leopard Slippers for $1.99 is unheard of...but REALLY!!!!!!!...Anytime folks are gettin trampled for a TV, I think we should all take a step back,remember the reason for the season, and take it down a thousand..GEESH!!!!!

R.I.P dear Walmart worker..

To all the people responsible..you should be DAMN ASHAMED of yourselves!!!!!!!!!I know a recession is amongst us and Dough is tight for us all,but DAMN...it aint worth a life..

Ok..please continue on with your holiday shopping whilst playing nice..

As appalled as appalled can be,

I too..like many others am speechless..

I present to you,the First in a series...HAIKU 5-7-5 by The FunkyFanny...

Reminization......

Let's get down to the gristle of who the FunkyFanny a.k.a the Vintage Wondergirl is...Part of who I am and what I do (Slang the Yummiest Vintage OF COURSSSSE!!!) is based on some pretty dope memories of things like HipHop, Street Culture,Fashion, and Urban Living at its best ..So in the spirit of all of that goodness,I offer a peek into the contents of my twisted lil mind, with a new tidbit called Reminization...Rememberances of dope ISH past...

Get ya Queen Tut on...








Just finished watchin Wendy (if you gotta ask fuggetaboutit!!!)
..HOW U DOIN?!?!?! and this lady stands up to "Ask Wendy" her most valued question..She commences to going ON and ON and ON about makin more $$ than her hubby and how he's insecure bcuz of it ,and blah blah blah, THEN.... She (The Chatty Kathy) mumbles sumthin bout a "GOLD LEAF FACIAL"..WELL daaahhlings, my SpaJunkie ears perked RIGHT UP!!!...Here's the lowdown on this FABULICIOUS treatment...


The face is covered in a sheet of 24 carat gold, in the hopes that it will absorb some of the precious metal’s properties.

Japanese firm Umo, who created the treatment, claims that by laying gold leaf onto the face, consumers can benefit from natural skin rejuvenation, firmer skin and a reduction in wrinkles.The shining gold face mask also provides a bright complexion, according to the company.

Well,I'll be damned..All these years I've been headin over to Mario Badescu to get my facials on and I coulda been meltin down Doorknockers and slatherin em on?!?Okayyyyy!!!Maybe that is a WEE bit ghetto of me?!?!

What's your Favorite spa treatment?

Fanny does Santa Cruz...


After leaving Big Sur,I was absolutely convinced that it couldn't possibly get any better(for real this time)..Decided to drive thru Santa Cruz to see what it had to offer...

Well chicas,Santa Cruz is forever alright with me...

It offered 3..yep count em 1..2..3.. of my FAVORITE things in the World..

Cole's BBQ....I'm not too much of a meatie,but French Fries with BBQ sauce is a delicious treat anytime...YUM..And hubby demolished some ribs...





Can you believe that for the 2nd time in 2 days I think I've died and gone to heaven!!How is that possible?!?

As we pulled into the parking lot,this Unbelievable Specimen of Automotive Genius greeted us...A Crisp,White,Super Sexy,Totally Fuckin Awesome, '68 Chevelle!!!!!


THEN.....As we left our feast,lickin our fingers of course,we stumbled upon a 7-11..and you know what that means.....COLA AND CHERRRY SLURPEEEEEEEEEEEE..............




My FAV food,car,and drink all in one place..I was soooo overwhelmed with all of that excitement,it was like Prince walked right up to me and started singin Raspberry Beret(OK,maybe that's a reach,but you catch my drift)...



T.G.F.S.C......Thank God For Santa Cruz!!

Think I just died & went to heaven....

I must admit..For a "City Girl" like me, drivin thru the winding mountains leading to Big Sur was not a good look for my belly..Amazingly Beautiful but curvy nonetheless..
(queasy stomach is NOT a chic look for a fashionista like myself and with all those mountainous mountains...EEK..I'm SURE there's lions and tigers and bears OH MY!!!

Not knowing of the goodness that Big Sur held...Imagine my delight when we arrived at our "one night in paradise super duper anniversary treat"...

3 Words sugars...POST RANCH INN!!!!!!!!!!! I'm pretty sure my life will never be the same...


peep the owners...Luci & Bill Post,(who by the way, STILL leads the nature walks around the property!!!) Look @ Luci in the ILL Vintage frock..LUVS IT!!!
