Wonderland Burlesque's Down The Rabbit Hole: Fox The Fox

Wonderland Burlesque's 
Down The Rabbit Hole:
Fox The Fox

Down The Rabbit Hole merely places a spotlight on something slightly unusual that's caught my interest. With the help of Wikipedia, YouTube, and other sites, I gather information and learn something new.

Today, we take a look at the brief history of the electric R&B pop group Fox The Fox

--- ---

From Wikipedia and other sources:
 
Fox the Fox, was a Dutch funk band founded in 1981 by Berth Tamaëla and Sylvia Musmin (AKA: Silhouette Musmin). Among the members were bassist Gino Jansen, guitarist Kier van der Werf, keyboardist Roy Kuschel, and drummers Robbie Brans, Tjalling Bos and Han Langkamp. Musmin wrote all the lyrics, while and Tamaëla composed the music.

After working together for two years, the band finally released their first single, Flirting and Showing, which reached #40 in the Netherlands and Germany. A year later they released the single Precious Little Diamond. It snagged the #5 slot in Germany, #18 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart, #11 in the Netherlands, #15 in France, #38 in Belgium and #86 in the UK.  

Two albums and six subsequent singles followed, but to little success.

With the departure of Tamaëla in 1990, the band split up.

Weekend Onesie: Don't Waste Food! - Part Two

Weekend Onesie: 
Don't Waste Food!
Part Two

People who check in on this blog on a regular basis know that I am a huge fan of graphics. Some of the finest? From various government agencies around the world. I adore their big, broad use of color and presentation of iconic ideals, characters and images.

During WWII, a great emphasis was placed on food conservation here at home and on the warfront. Today, we'll be looking at one particular aspect of the fight to save food: home canning.

I've thrown in a couple of how-to covers, as well.

Not only did the government ask that you grow your own food, they also wanted you to preserve it via canning and they got their message out, boldly and colorfully. Doing your part at home meant helping those on the frontline... yes, this was, indeed, everybody's war to win.

Food conservation is an idea...
That never goes out of style.
Activate. Do your part, today.
