On This Date, February 19th in 1980: AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott (born Ronald Belford Scott) died of acute alcohol poisoning in London while sleeping in a friend’s car. He was 33 years old. Addicted to Vinyl adds a few poignant thoughts to Bon’s passing: “Bon died just as AC/DC was becoming one of the biggest international rock acts of its time. Highway to Hell had broken the Top 20 on the U.S. album charts and the band’s back catalog was seeing a worldwide resurgence. 1980 was destined to be a breakthrough year, though it would ultimately happen with Brian Johnson as lead singer.” Rest in Peace.
Stay away from the pantry! Just kidding! These menacing-looking treats are merely adorable shark cupcakes made with icing-covered Twinkie halves, chocolate wafer cookies for the fins and decorated with red fruit leather. Shark Attack!
Do you like UglyDolls? I sure do. I have a little UglyDoll clip-on called Peaco attached to my bag at all times, so I can carry it with me wherever I go. Because Ugly Dolls are awesome. Earlier today, I was scoping out the new toys on Plastic and Plush and came across something called Lucky Uckys “Pocket Sized Lucky Spirit Guides” – which strike me as something that surely many people would be interested in owning. Because, Pocket Sized Spirit Guides: who doesn’t need those, especially here in NYC? Apparently there will be 60 total figures in the series, or so I am led to believe by the packaging pictured above. I want them.
