It's "time" to show you my latest!

Don't get me started on TV and movies.  In this one film I saw (Don't remember the name) it showed an apartment of a supposedly poor guy.  The walls were in poor condition, and there was dirty laundry thrown about the floor, but he had vintage Murano glass lamps on his MCM endtables, vintage Pyrex in the kitchen, and to top it all off he had a Princess phone!

The lamps alone were probably worth well over $1,000.  The end tables & coffee table were probably at least $800 for the set, and a Princess phone in nice condition fetches over $100.  Design on a dime would have had a field day in his house.  A fresh coat of paint and clean up the laundry and he'd have a designer apartment!

Maybe the set designer thought it was "old stuff" that you would find in a thrift store.  That is Hollywood reality for you!

Ah man!!!  We had a Fabulous Fred when I was a kid!  I had forgotten all about it.  You were so fortunate to find this.  I can only hope I can find one cheap some day.  Tough though, because people are realizing that these type of games are collectible now.

Sounds like Molly Ringwald's room in Pretty in Pink.  That movie drove me up the wall on so many thrift levels.
