I got this vintage-look door decoration at "A Pleasant Present," a favorite gay gift shop that was in Squirrel Hill in Pittsburgh, during the 1990s. Now's it's old enough to actually be vintage! #apleasantpresent #giftshop #giftstore #gaygiftstore #gaygiftshop #gaybusiness #gaybusinesses

Although my husband Zack has a entire handful of original books available on Amazon, I am most partial to "We, the Riffed," an unofficial guide to all the films featured on "RIFFTRAX" up to this year. It's swell! www.amazon.com/We-Riffed...... #book #books #newbook #newbooks #rifftrax
