    oh WOW! My mind is blown! How cool – it’s been Pee Wee / Allee wonderfulness online all this week! RetroRoadhusband are going to a party at The Colonial Theatre here in Phoenixville in a couple of weeks and I was thinking how I’d love to dress up as Miss Yvonne and RRH could dress as PW. I have a Miss Yvonne magnet on my fridge that I made from a precious set of Pee Wee cards, I’m such a fan! Allee, you’re the coolest!!
