Rusty’s Electric Dreams, an inbox zine from the curious mind of Rusty O’ Blazenhoff

They’re Magically Delicious!…

Hey all,

It’s that time of year when I get asked the question, “Are you Irish?”

Yes friends, near and far, I do have some roots in Ireland. Shocking, I know! Growing up, I always knew about my Irish heritage but I didn’t think too much about it. There are a lot of us folks on Cape Cod, after all.

Recently though, I became digitally-acquainted with a not-too-distant cousin of mine. Mayo-born Patrick Brannick and I met through the genetic service, 23andme. After swapping genomes, he mapped out our relation on our family tree. He’s my second cousin, 2x removed. How cool is that? He’s been walking the planet my whole life and we only just met for the first time. Magic!

We went back and forth in email for weeks. He shared an old grainy family photo with me from 1932. A bunch of sturdy folks, they were. Genealogy makes me happy. I can’t understand people who aren’t into discovering their roots. For me, it makes history come alive, both personal and world.

A couple of summers ago I went to Italy and accidentally met a cousin. Someday soon, I would like to visit another one of my “motherlands,” Ireland. If nothing else to hang out with the cool, cereal-pimpin’, rainbow-lovin’ leprechauns. And drink, because when in Rome… or in this case, County Mayo.

Anyhoo! This is a special “magically delicious” edition of the zine. I hope you like it.

P.S. My friend Dixie (of Bawdy Storytelling fame) is teaching a 6-week storytelling class in SF and it’s almost sold out! If you want in, better grab one of those tickets now! (The story you tell, by the way, does not have to be a dirty one.)

March Artist-in-Residence: Suzanne Forbes

Painting a portrait is my chance to tell your true story.

Hi RED readers- here’s a little about how I make a portrait. For me, portraiture is a collaboration. I love the stories my clients bring me, the story of who they are or who they want to be for the image. Often there’s a trunk of dress-up clothes, a selection of props, some meaningful objects.

When Tess and Colin came to Berlin to have their portrait painted, they brought an assortment of attire and we settled on these outfits together. Colin art-directed the pose, and among the props was a bird cup bought here in Berlin. We spent four sittings of two to three hours together, over the New Year’s holiday, creating this vision of a scary doll and a sinister clown. I think Colin’s amazing documentation of the process shows how deeply happy I am making art out of their brilliant creative energy, painting the moments we spent together.

Suzanne Forbes, Traditional Portraiture for Alternative Lifestyles

About the Artist-in-Residence program: Every month a working artist is selected to showcase their work in this inbox zine and talk about their creation process. What they do with this space is left up to them. If you would like to be considered for this spot, or know someone who fits the bill, please email Rusty with your interest.

Real faux Irish items you can actually buy: O’!


Vintage ad for McDonald's Shamrock Shakes

Ah, McDonald’s Shamrock Shakes

These diet-killing icy atrocities* were first made available in 1970 as the “St. Patrick’s Day Green Milkshake.” In the beginning, McDonald’s made the shakes lemon/lime flavored (with a base of vanilla soft-serve ice cream). Just three years after they were introduced, the cold (not plastic-filled) treats were simply dyed green and had no added flavor. At some point the shake became minty flavored, as it is to this day.

In 1977, Uncle O’Grimacey (he’s Grimace’s Irish uncle, I kid you not) bounced into Mickey D’s TV ads as the green shake’s ambassador. Shiver.

In the 1990s and 2000s, it was up to regional managers if they wanted to carry Shamrock Shakes in their stores. Many did not and it was difficult to track them down. It became such an elusive seasonal item that when Jimmy Fallon found out that NYC’s Union Square McDonald’s was carrying the frozen dessert, he bought out the store’s entire supply. Who got them all? His audience members did! New Yorkers who wanted one but did not get one were upset by the great Shamrock Shake shortage. That was 2010.

In 2012, to keep up with demand of this cult menu item, McDonald’s made the minty green “Irish” beverage available at any of their restaurants in the U.S., Canada, and Ireland. So, during the months of February and March each year, you can get your fix. Catch’em** while you can (or just make your own)!

*Medium size has 80 grams of sugar and more calories than a Big Mac!
** If you do get one, I want to see the evidence on Instagram!

Yep, it’s just like _that_


Then there was Cookie O’Puss

To understand Cookie O’Puss, we must first understand Cookie Puss (his “friends call him CP” by the way). CP is the original ice cream cake character created in the 1970s by Tom Carvel, the raspy-voiced founder of the eponymous frozen desserts chain.

CP is not only a cake-with-a-face but a “celestial presence.” Yes, he’s got a back story. Yes, he’s from outer space. Many people at that time though the cake was made in Tom’s likeness, but it wasn’t. Mr. Carvel, a self-made marketing genius (who never once hired an ad agency), started promoting CP in 1982 as a space alien. Why? Because E.T. was popular!

So later, for St. Patrick’s Day, Carvel introduced CP’s “good buddy,” one thick-brogued Cookie O’Puss. LOL, so good!

And we all rejoice for the brilliance of campy marketing. If you didn’t grow up with these ads, I pity you!

[Read the rest of Cookie Puss’ story here.]


Finally, Johnsonville’s Irish O’ Garlic sausage

I got nothing. I mean, IrishO’Garlic?? They literally added garlic to their regular sausages and marketed them as Irish. My ancestors are rolling in their graves.

“They”re Always After me Lucky Charms.”
— The Lucky Charms Leprechaun

Rusty’ Electric Dreams is a weekly inbox zine from the curious mind of Rusty Blazenhoff.

Back in the nineties, Rusty pursued counterculture “experiences beyond the pale of mainstream society” with the “randomly gathered network of free spirits” of the San Francisco Cacophony Society. Since then, she’s proven herself a cacophonist for life. Her collaborations with some of the planet’s coolest people and organizations, including Burning Man, Pee-wee Herman, Allee Willis, Laughing Squid, Dangerous Minds, and Archie McPhee, inspired her title: “Professional Free Spirit.”

In her offbeat zine you’ll find wonderful weirdness in the form of art, unusual products, worldwide event listings of note, and other fun surprises.

Described as, “One of the most inspiring, weird and off-kilter collections of curated kitschy ephemera for the big-brained.”
