When the going gets tough, the tough get gogo-ing!!!!

About Me

Well hello there. My name is alexandra (most people call me alex). I love the 60s, thrifting, buying and selling vintage on eBay, watching bad TV, going to the movies, reading trashy magazines, pop culture, mid-century design, Blythe dolls, oh yeah.... and dancing with The Devil-Ettes (a 60s synchronized go-go group....kinda like the rock-n-roll rockettes!).

I am also the mother of Wolfgang, the Amazing Wunder Child. Wolfie is two and a half and a total charmer.

I'm thrift and vintage addict and love to share my finds with you guys. Check out my AUCTIONS on EBAY , pretty please!
