johnny dollar's vault

retro pop culture and various local observations and ramblings.

My Photo
Name: johnny dollar
Location: Baltimore, Maryland, United States
johnny dollar's vault resides in the basement of stately dollar maisonTM, amongst the wine cellar, tiki bar, and finicky electrical panel. from time to time i will unearth various artifacts from either there or from the random crevices of my mind.

please visit the new and improved pig cookin' post!

NOTE: this blog will NOT deal with any recent pop culture (i.e. since about 1990) or topical issues, so if you're looking for discussion about barak barry bonds baseball bush bosworth brangelina, look elsewhere, lol

the fells point project... advice please?


image courtesy of tony millionaire at maakies. two thumbs up!!!

ok so like in 4 weeks i'm going to join in a convention of producers and fans of a crude yet sophisticated podcast here in the greatest city in america.

my comment-whoring™ question to you is, ok, i know fells point is all yuppie trendy now, but assuming a crowd of about 20 + people who likely enjoy both brewed and distilled spirits, where would you suggest i suggest we go?

extra points for funky/ironic/subcultural.

negative points for frat house / tasteful.

spanks in advance!

i'm youtube famous now: tails of the merman, the exciting conclusion



i have to hand it to e33, he put a whizbang ending to this little tropical serial (tropical cereal?) that i and my hunny had the pleasure of having a cameo in.

be sure to dig on the kustom soundtrack by waitiki, not to mention the fashion stylings of fashion tramp, the comedy stylings of the henchmen, and PIE.

the previous episodes should be watched, and they are here.

p.s. dad don't let mom see this, she would probably not understand and get upset.

cøøl, the kon tiki museum shop is online!




well, they don't accept credit card orders, so i can't verify that an ammurican could actually get any of this swag, but, finally the kon tiki museum shop is online after promising to be for at least a year or so.

i so freaking want to go see the balsa wood raft that started it all.

the dvd of the expedition is amazing too. highly recommended - get it here.

nsfw? a baltimore nudist in our dining room


thru the magik of the list of craig, my honeypie acquired this mannequin who apparently modeled for many years at epstein's department store here in maryland.

does anyone have any info or memories of epstein's? the internets is quiet on this topic.

i recall as a lil kid, being kind of embarrassed when walking by hecht's or needless markup or such mally place, and the mannequins were all neekid while they were swapping out the threads. heh.

well this particular one will be transformed into a piece of garden art in the near future. pix soon.
