Love it~!
Wasn't Sambo actually Indian (from India)?
Alrighty then...lol seems like I've seen that black ceramic piece before somewhere. Actually I think back in the day ceramic pieces of black Americans were really painted BLACK.
Go.
Love your Blog sweetie!
This is going to give away my age, but, do you remember the chain of restaurants called Sambo's? The story of Sambo was on all of the menus and placemats. It was actually a very tasty breakfast they served, but the name fell out of favor after the civil rights movement of the 60's. This is my first visit to your fine blog, I learned a few new facts while visiting you. Much love and respect to you! Love from "Mrs. Slug" in Oregon
But your life is still a turd...
says it all.
