We all know he's not dead; he just went home. And apparently, home is inside this kitsch 1978 plastic Yap's musical mirror that I was endeavoring to photograph this morning.
Oh, wait... false alarm... Let me bring this into better focus.
Of course, it should have been a no-brainer that this particular Yap mirror wouldn't have appealed to the King of Pop or whatever he's called--the song here being "You Light Up My Life" of Debbie Boone fame.
Okay, now that I've had my fun, I'll show you the actual listing as I posted it on Etsy this morning.

Actually, these mirrors are pretty cool if you like kitschy plastic tackiness as much as I do. I nabbed them over the weekend; they came from the estate of a woman who, I was told, saved virtually everything.
While researching these, I found a number of other Yap's musical mirrors available and I will have to rein myself in lest I embark on yet another collection of dubious taste, though when I see goodies like these, it's very tempting. (Hey, I don't call this blog "The Sheer Trash Roadshow" for nothing!)

You see what I mean?
Frankly, I'm nearly drooling over the one with the moving ballet dancers as a potential birthday present for my jewelry-loving, soon-to-be-four-year-old granddaughter. She makes an instant beeline for my bedroom to adorn herself from my costume jewelry stash every time she visits. And she's fond of dancing. She's probably a bit young for such an item, I suppose. But one of these days!

I'm not sure which would scare me most jumping out of a mirror.... Michael Jackson or Debbie Boone! That ballet dancer one is awfully cute, as is the unicorn one.... I think my granddaughter would like it! Your grand is so cute, btw!
ReplyDeleteYeah, the Debbie Boone one is a bit creepy! I'm loving the duck mirror a lot, too. :-)
