The History of White Rock’s Psyche Mascot

The 40s were a magical time for White Rock’s exhibitionist pixie, Psyche. White Rock’s topless “Tinkerbell” proudly showed her breasts till new management in 1952 and Psyche’s breasts were no longer on public display. The Goddess of purity was created in 1893. In the 40s all bets were off with her new ads and so was her top. She got a lot of men in hot water that they needed White Rock Sprinkling Water to cool down.

I am a big fan of Charley Harper’s art from The Golden Book of Biology when I was a youth.

Now you can add tableware to his resume. The Fiesta Tableware Company has a line of Harper’s cardinal bird series in both chinaware and glasses. This is a great set for any kitchen even if you do not know Charley’s Harper’s work.

Hell-Bent for Cinco de Mayo

I happened to go to Texas and noticed how big Cinco de Mayo is there. May 5th commemorates the date of the Mexican army’s victory over France at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Today it is more festive where friends get together and drink. In Texas non-Mexicans celebrate the event, so why not add a little zing with Filipino bites and drinks. Publisher Tuttle is sharing a unique drink that mixes Mexican Michelada with Filipino beer. Miguel in Hell is a match made in hell. Pulutan: Filipino Bar Bites, Appetizers and Street Eats has some great finger foods to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Look! I’m Wearing the Smile you Gave me!

I have no clue what Blue Q’s Look! I’m Wearing the Smile you Gave me! tastes like but I love the box that comes with the yellow Chiclet-like gum. Think I am going to order the last two on Amazon. Going to chew on it a bit more.
