Penny for your Thoughts

I leaned down to pick up a penny, and when I looked up I saw this interesting staircase. So tell me, what do you think we would find up there?

Maybe the private detective's office is up that flight of stairs and he's working late on a case, with an ashtray full of unfiltered Camel butts, not to mention the one dangling from his mouth. His girl Friday, Louise is working over time in her wool straight skirt,seamed hose and pompadour hairdo, hoping to make a little extra money to feed the baby at home. She has an understanding babysitter who is willing to stay extra hours so she can work.

They are just about to break the case.......; November 10, 2009 at 5:30 AM

There are those old fashioned hair dryers (like football helmets) around and various bottles of bleach and jars of goo. For a vintage, "do" and the latest gossip, visit Flo's.....up the stairs.; November 10, 2009 at 6:28 AM

Dixie Jane: Jars of Goo - love it.; November 10, 2009 at 6:31 AM
