Bringing Moxy Back
Reminiscent of the movie maidens of the 50s & 60s who portrayed women in a brand new way – questioning, challenging and sometimes shocking – Anne Taintor’s Vintage Revisted® brings back moxy!
Don’t let these “proper” housewives and ladies of society fool you. Behind their sweet smiles, there lies violent, scandalous and indiscriminate thoughts…
- the real “mystery” was why she had married his fat ass in the 
first place
- if looks could kill, women wouldn’t need frying pans
- why yes, I am that kind of girl
- if only Monday mornings were as easy as I am
- medicated and motivated
- stop me before I volunteer again
- screw the budget!
RIP Don Cornelius
Thank you for bringing peace, love, and SOOOUUUULLLL to the world.
We also sell headphones!
So, this Christmas my wife and I shopped goHastings to get “the BIG presents” for the kids. Each year it becomes a little more difficult to top the previous year. Thankfully, our site offers some pretty cool ideas if you’re experiencing Shopper’s Block. Here’s what we came up with…
 |
For our Son: Spectrum Wireless Guitar Pack (includes amp, strings, strap, etc) Universal Guitar Stand Clip-On Tuner |
 |
For our Daughter: Casio Lighted Keyboard Folding Keyboard Stand Folding Keyboard Bench |
Some have accused us of being crazy.
“It’s going to be so loud in your house! You won’t be able to hear yourselves think!”
C’mon… we’re smarter than that! We also feature a wide selection of Headphones on goHastings.com that will plug right in to their instruments! Who’s crazy now?
Clouds Scare Me
Oh, my little 8gb Flash Drive, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways. You’ve helped me get over one of my most annoying nervous habits. Yes, I used to be a pen-clicker, but no more. Now I ‘m a flash-drive flicker. This habit is much quieter and less likely to disturb my co-workers. I can attach you to my key-ring and you fit so easily in to my pocket. I always know you’re there with me, whether I’m at the office or at home. Oh, the budget report? Why yes, I’ve got that right here! Wanna see a picture of my daughter squirting milk through her nose? I’ve got that too! You’ve never heard of the Dead Milkmen? Well, I just happen to have a few of their tracks on me. Yup. It’s all right here on a handy little device that’s no bigger than my thumb! That’s more than I can say for “the cloud”. Clouds are friggin huge, and they’re full of water vapor! That can’t possibly be good for my files! I don’t trust you cloud. You’re here one minute and gone the next. You will never replace my flash drive. NEVER! And that’s all I have to say about that.
(Until the day that I suddenly realize how cool you are.)
You’ll Shoot Your Eye Out!
Ah…A Christmas Story, one of the most timeless classics in the history of all movies! 
At least it is in my opinion, and I am sure I’m not the only one who feels this way. This was and is without a doubt one of my most favorite movies to watch. And if you haven’t seen this movie I don’t know where you have been your whole life and I would strongly be tempted to use the cliché phrase “Under a rock.” : / Read the rest of this entry »
Baby, It’s Cold Outside
Baby it’s cold outside… literally. Time to dig out the sweaters, long underwear, hats & gloves. But I’m incredibly intrigued by the huge selection of licensed fun, funky winter hats. The kind of hat you see on the ski slopes and think, “How cool is that? I would look like a better skier with a hat like that!”
The good news is I know I can pull off the Striped Bomber hat on the slopes and then get decked out in Nightmare Before Christmas cap, scarf and gloves.
Fantastic Feline Fun
Fantastic feline fun for the cat-obsessed…
You can never have too many cats? Or can you? In this exciting board game you attempt to collect more cats than your fellow competitors as you make your way around the board. Gain more cats by landing on spaces like “Save a Cat Stuck in a Tree” and “Rescue Grumpy Old Cat From Pound.” But watch out for spaces that take cats from you like “Beware of Dog” and “Kitten Distracted by Bit of Fluff.” 
Although I was annoyed by the fact that the cat ladies are represented as not only unattractive, but the kind of unattractiveness that compels children to throw eggs at your house, while being shunned by the rest of society – I still wanted to purchase this game. Or the better option, buying it for someone I know. That way I could experience the feline fun for myself, without having the embarrassment of actually owning it. So, that’s what I did. I bought it for my 8 yr. old nephew for Christmas and he was never the wiser. Read the rest of this entry »
An Experience
Growing up in a small farm town, I had no idea that any other place in the world could be known for its pizza. Our local family pizza place served the entire county’s population every Friday night. Needless to say, it was difficult to get served a greasy, leathery slice of heaven while seated. It wasn’t until my junior year in college that I was introduced to new pizza on a business trip to Chicago. The job was a pretty impressive gig for someone who didn’t hold a degree yet and who took courses like basket weaving. This is totally true; I got 3 credits for learning to basket weave under water just like I got 3 credits for memorizing Plato. I totally aced both classes. However, my knowledge of geography was sorely lacking until a foundry hired me to travel to major cities for trade shows to sell doorknockers(this is also totally true). They gave me an expense account and flew me all over the US to say, “Check out my knockers,” and I never had to lift my shirt. Read more…
Back to School Dreams of Coolness
Green Lantern Headquarters!
Ready to Boogie Green Lantern-style?
Saturday night I found myself at the Hardback Coffee Café in the Hastings store on Georgia St. here in balmy Amarillo, TX sipping a Spanish Mocha with my friend TravelGirl listening to Tyler from Pampa perform a string of songs Jack Johnson style. Good coffee, good music, good times. What more could you ask for?
One of the songs that Tyler from Pampa sang had lyrics that included “chillin’ in my Snuggie,” which, once I stopped laughing, reminded me that I was supposed to write a blog about Snuggies and how practical they can be: from using them on a plane (Real-Housewives-of-Dallas-style in leopard print) to covering Crazy Uncle Ed who passed out in his lawn chair after the family picnic. Then I realized that we blogged about Snuggies last October.
So I searched our site for something else to blog about. I didn’t have to look far. Did you know that Hastings is the Green Lantern Headquarters? Check out our Green Lantern Headquarters Page. There’s a countdown to its theatrical release on June 17. While you’re there, scroll to the bottom and check out the movie trailer. I can’t wait to for it to come out! Read the rest of this entry »
