Columbo Clothes and Laughs

(For background on how these cards came to be, please check out How the Columbo Dog Head Greeting Cards Came to Be )   Introducing the Columbo Parody Dog Head Greeting Cards !  This is the culmination of my life's work - it combines an obsession with dogs, putting heads on things, WTF Wednesday, vintage 70s clothes and decor, comedy, art, and true crime/Columbo.  There are 12 cards total in this series - presented 4 at a time, in chronological order.  All cards are 5x7 inches, flat (not folded), printed in the USA on 100% recycled paper, and come with a matching envelope.    They are all, as we say, Suitable for Framing!   The first four cards are available with tracking from skippyhaha Etsy now!     First we have a scene inspired by " Blueprint for Murder " (1972) - featuring a Golden Retriever in a rose gold pussy bow blouse telling a Black Labrador Retriever that we could've used him at the Alamo - he's got guts .      Thi...

Season 2 Episode 1:  “Columbo” Étude in Black (TV Episode 1972) This episode was directed by Nicholas Colasanto (aka “Coach” from “Cheers”), Peter Falk and John Cassavetes. It was written by Steven Bochco, Richard Levinson and William Link.  The three best outfits from this episode are:  1) Janice Benedict (played by Blythe Danner who was 5 months pregnant with Gwyneth Paltrow gestating in her uterus during filming) has an amazing casual style despite being set behind desks and tables and pashminas and flower planters to hide her pregnancy.
