I know I’m an appraiser. I took my classes, did well on my exams, and for all intents and purposes – I an appraise and assign value to anything from a rare Victorian “Mourning Pin” made out of human hair (yes, it’s really a thing) to a unique promo pressing of just about any song.… Continue reading Duran Duran’s Rio (33 1/3 series)

Memorabilia Medley: The Singles Box Sets
I think the warmer weather is messing with me as I have a sudden urge to organize and clean out every room and closet in my house. Of course, it could just be the way I’m dealing seeking control over the insanity around me. Nonetheless, I am thinking about everything I have, including my Duran… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: The Singles Box Sets
Memorabilia Medley: BOP Magazine
I have started to catalog my Duran Duran memorabilia as I mentioned here weeks ago. After looking through the various bootlegs I have, I decided to put that to the side (for now). It felt too overwhelming. Instead, I moved to the next area of my office, which happens to be magazines. Right now, I… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: BOP Magazine
Books From My Library!
You might have noticed that I took a bit of a break last week. It was spring break for my daughter – which meant no school. I spent some of my extra time doing some reading. As I looked over Amazon for some new books, a couple of titles caught my eye. Like any Duran… Continue reading Books From My Library!
Memorabilia Medley: Bootlegs
A couple of weeks ago, when I last blogged about this topic, I talked about how I planned to catalog my Duran merchandise. I decided that this would not only help me just keep organized but would also be good if I ever wanted to add to my collection. After all, I wouldn’t want to… Continue reading Memorabilia Medley: Bootlegs
Memorabilia – a Cautionary Tale
In an attempt to write my post for today, I did a search online. Sometimes, I’ll come across a piece of memorabilia that will stir some creativity, and off I’ll go – writing a full article in the process. Today is no different, except that the search result was for something that – while *might*… Continue reading Memorabilia – a Cautionary Tale
Categorizing and Cataloging Memorabilia
I am so thankful for our readers/watchers/listeners. While this blog can be used just as a personal journal of sorts, it is so much better knowing that others are checking in and seeing what we have to say. Even better, sometimes, those people like what they read/watch/hear so much that they actually come back, time… Continue reading Categorizing and Cataloging Memorabilia
Kissing Those Posters
I know that I cannot be the only fan out there that wallpapered her (or his) bedroom with Duran Duran posters. Truth be told, I was a little obsessed with this task, choosing to spend a lot of my time back in the 80s on the magazine aisle at any store my mom and dad… Continue reading Kissing Those Posters
The Rio Collection
This week, my schedule shifted a little bit. For the past year, Wednesdays have been focused on meetings, planning and professional development. It has been a nice break in the middle of a teaching week. Now, there has been a shift to having that planning day on Mondays. Don’t ask me why. I don’t get… Continue reading The Rio Collection
Sticks and Picks
Sticks Okay, so if you got me into a dark corner of a bar and supplied me with a vodka tonic or two, I’d probably admit that the one memorabilia item I don’t have but would really LOVE, is just one of Roger’s drumsticks. Whoops. Turns out I don’t need a vodka tonic at all… Continue reading Sticks and Picks
