This is an invite to our crazy crib where you can come and break it down! I say we go 18 karat on this and really swing. If healthy eating’s not your bag, no problem. But if it is, I dig. Heart

I remember when those big-eyed paintings were popular--must have been around the early '70s because my father brought me back one from one of his trips to Europe.  It looked eerily just like me, shag haircut and all.💕

And I remember them in the 60s, too.  Interestingly enough, Margaret Keane was producing "Big Eyes" paintings as far back as the 50s.

 

I imagine her style was copied by others.

 

Artist Margaret Keane hasn't lost wide-eyed enthusiasm for work

Well, obviously it was copied by others.  The woman had to sleep at some point.

This one is vaguely similar to what my father brought me.  Mine even had a little dog with the girl that looked just like the one I had at the time.  That's why I know it had to be early '70s. (I remember everything by the animal timelines.😉)

Are there any other? Woman LOL

 

What's weird is that we might forget names but we remember our family pets' names.  I even remember the names of other people's pets growing up.

My memory is cr*p.  It always has been.  The OG would talk about someone in the past and I wouldn't remember who or what he was talking about.  But as soon as he mentioned the dog that person had at the time, I knew exactly what he was talking about! 😂
