Hard Rock Cafe Sexy Witch Pins, part 2
In my 2006 post on sexy witch Halloween pins/badges issued by Hard Rock Cafe I said that fewer than thirty of the tens of thousands of designs they have issued are suitable for this blog (i.e., actually sexy witches). Well, the number is certainly higher than thirty now.
Although the number of sexy witch designs vary from year to year (in 2005 there are eight different designs, in 2007 there was only one), I thought I had a fair idea of how many designs had been issued. Back in 2006 I did not own that many of the pins/badges, but I have continued to collect them. And in collecting them I have discovered an ever-increasing number of designs.
This is not just because they keep making more badges every year: I keep finding ones from the past that are new to me. For instance, I was pretty sure that the earliest HRC sexy witch badge was from 2001. But I was wrong, ’cause I have since found one from 1999.
So, abandoning any pretense at completeness, here is another random selection of half-a-dozen HRC sexy witch pins. Enjoy!

Gatlingburg 1999 looks more like George Petty’s Salem Witch to me, if she had red hair that is.
I noticed my name has disappeared from the leave a reply, did I do something else wrong, Your Highness?

Thanks Ken, but no.
GP: you are right! It is Petty’s Salem Witch, right down to the crease formed by the taut fabric stretched between her impossibly pert bits. What a shame they changed her from a red-head to a blonde

As for the feedback procedure changing: blame the Chinese spammers, who figured out a way around the previous anti-spam system. Rest assured, your feedback will still get through.

they might have changed the hair from red to blonde to avoid copyright infridgement.

I’m not Grumpy Pumpkin but its always nice to hear from you. You can call me Ken. Still lovin’ the book covers. there’s a new HRC in Seattle , I’ll look for SWpins in August…I wonder now tho, if you were pisssed at Grumpy and thought you were pissed at me (or vice versa) What did I do and when? Because Stemba’s right as rain.

if your looking for a flying high hard rock pin, check out ebay under hard rock cafe witch pins. they made her a blond, but the rest looks right to me. it’s 24.99 U.S., or make an offer. it’s ships from the land down under, Queensland-Sunshine State Australia.(you don’t have any other gigs going on your not telling us about)?

I am confused, I am not pisssed at GP or anyone else.
And no GP, there are no other gigs I am not telling you about. As I think I might have said once before, I can’t see that selling on eBay can be profitable. A fun hobby, yes; and a good way of passing on stuff that nobody else would value from collector to collector, yes, but my hobby is collecting, so I have no incentive to sell.
Best,

Oh, no, I found an adorable redheaded witch pin. No one else bid, pretty please. RedWitch, you find too many cool things.

You are safe Persephone, I have that one already: it is the standard 2002 design, and it is adorable. I have seen examples from Austin, Gatlinburg, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Myrtle Beach, New Orleans, Orlando, Philadelphia, Phoenix, and Toronto!
As for me finding too many cool things: can you actually have too many cool things?
