Lance is a Cutie

I am a bit under the weather (injury) and cranky today so needed a smile... and what better then a rollicking theme song? Lancelot Link was a fave of my big brothers and I, and just rehearing this after so many years brought a huge smile to my little monkey-ish face. But I'll leave it for you to dance along for me, ok Cuties? xxxo

Cute Hippie Love

This cute fellow comes to us via Hallmark.

Cute & Stinky

Most of my friends think I'm weird when I say this, but I don't HATE the smell of skunk. In fact, I almost think I like like the smell. Of course I've never been super-close to an actual stinky skunk, maybe then I'd change my mind. If all skunks looked like this little fella, we'd all say "Hello There Stinky".

Cute 1970s Stickers

Awww...ain't they cute?

Blythe In A Cutie Dress

One of our very first postings on Hello There Cutie was Blythe... and we still feel she's a top ten cutie!!! Different individuals are currently making dresses for this 70s icon, and the one above incorporates one of our favorite animals (monkeys) in an adorable frock. So once again we say, Hello There Cutie Blythe! xxxo

Squirrel Cuties

From the 1970s book "35 Tales For Tiny Tots Told by Mother Squirrel," this adorable illustration has Mother with a freshly baked cherry-pie. Perhaps this is a get well, (or, with her scolding finger, a "save til later") sweet for the cutie squirrel tot who is happily awake in his bed. Whatever the reason for the dessert, we say "Hello There Cutie Squirrels!!!" xxxo

Cutie Papoose

The word "papoose" comes from the Algonquian Indian word "papoos" and means "child". The word came originally from the Narragansett. This crochet mother and papoose likely came from the 1970s.

Pitstop Cutie

Penelope Pitstop first in the Hanna-Barbera animated series Wacky Races, and then starred in her own spin-off called The Perils of Penelope Pitstop. Penelope was voiced by Janet Waldo. Penelope drives a car called the Compact Pussycat- a pink vehicle with personal grooming facilities. Miss Pitstop dresses in a pink racing uniform with white gloves, maroon tights, and white go-go boots. She is known as the "Glamour Gal of the Gas Pedal". A cartoon cutie if there ever was one!

Broom Hilda: Halloween Cutie

Today we celebrate a cute Halloween with one of our favorite wacky witches in the world!Broom-Hilda a cute old witch with green skin, a wart on the end of her nose, and stringy hair. She always dresses in black, but wears a flower on top of her hat. Hilda is said to be Attila the Hun's ex-wife and is always unsuccessfully trying to land a new husband. Originally Hilda smoked cigars and drank like a sailor, but she seems to have mellowed out a bit in her old age.Broom-Hilda is a classic newspaper comic strip created by Russell Myers. It is distributed by the Chicago Tribune Syndicate and debuted on April 19, 1970. You can read the strip every day here.

Secret Cutie

Who wouldn't be excited to get this cutie card in the mail? Between her gypsy outfit, not scary (but adorable!) black cat and harvest moon, we just gotta say "Hello There Cutie" to this Hallmark moment! xxxo

Devilishly Cutie

In the 1970s, 4" statues like these were all the rage and this saucy devil seemed Halloween appropriate. The front reads "Good Little Girls May go to Heaven... But Bad Little Girls Go Everywhere." In the land of Hello There Cutie, bad girls eat chocolate before supper so wee hee, we get to travel!!! xxxo

Cute, Silly & Soapy

In the tradition of Crazy Foam, here is Silly Soap–a fun bath time accessory that every child of the 70s wishes they had. This wacky product was basically dad's shaving cream in a taller can with a cute or crazy character on the label. Mister Monster was the most popular of the three Silly Soapers, along with Alphie the Astronaut and Woo-Woo the Whale.

Sew Cutie

What are we to be this Halloween? Once again, I looked at sewing patterns from the 70s for inspiration and look what was found: these cutie kids beckoning us to be bunnies, tigers or kittens. The problem is deciding which!!! xxxo

Wickedly Cute

Is it possible to be both wicked and cute? Well, this red-haired hag certainly isn't scary. From the illustration style depicted, I believe this image was from a greeting card circa 1970s. "No Magic Spell...No Witches Brew...Can Keep Me Away from You!" That is wickedly cute.

Cute and smart

The Witch Next Door is a super cute book that Scholastic published in the early 1970s that teaches kids about subjects like prejudice and tolerance. It's somehow very timely once again.

Unicorns = Cute

I get teased by certain friends that I view the world a bit cutely, and they've been waiting for a unicorn post... proof patience pays-off! This embroidery has it all: a pretty pony unicorn, smiling rainbow clouds, shooting star and the ubiquitous "I heart" next to the unicorn because, well, who doesn't love a 70s inspired cutie??? xxxo

Cute & Goofy

Not sure who this little goofy gal is, but she is a welcome addition to our Cutie family. If any readers have information about this toy, feel free to post a comment below.

Learnin' can be cute

Sillisculpts are Cutiesculpts

After doing a bit of research, we here at Hello There Cutie have learned that "Sillisculpts" are the name for these popular, but peculiar rubbery-hard, molded little statuettes. The subjects were either of cute and/or pathetic figures situated on a base with an adorable or humorous saying "carved" into it. These card store novelty items were introduced in 1968 by R&W Berrie and became quite a fad because these goofy knickknacks that had a much longer shelf life than the average greeting card and appealed to people of all ages. Other companies such as American Greetings produced their own line of statues well into the 1980s.
