This week we are going back nine years to 2015 and to the Dublin Port Rally.
This was the second year the rally was run, except it was held over two days rather than just the one in 2014. It brought together a variety of vehicles, both old and new, with a large gathering of buses included. Here are four preserved buses that used to operate in Dublin.
On the left is D 839. This bus was new to CIE in 1978. It was withdrawn by Dublin Bus in 1995. The bus is dressed for route 16A. This route started in 1955 between Beaumont and Lower Rathfarnham. In 1985 it reached Santry and during 1999 reached the airport. The route ceased to operate in 2012 under Network Direct changes.
Beside it is RH 7. It was new to Dublin Bus in 1990 and became a driver trainer in 2000. It was withdrawn in 2008. The bus is dressed for route 15B. This route started running between the city centre and Templeogue in 1952. In 1978 it reached Ballyroan, and in 2007 it was extended to Whitechurch. Since 2011 it has terminated on Stocking Avenue.
Beside RH 7 is MA 7, This minibus was new to Dublin Bus in 1993. It was withdrawn in the early-2000s. The bus is dressed for route 122. This route started as a City imp route in 1998, replacing previous routes 22 and 22A. It runs from Ashington to Drimnagh Road, via the city centre.
Finally, on the right is ME 26. This bus was new to Dublin Bus in 1994. In the early-2000s it became a ticket bus for the Nitelink. It was withdrawn in the early-2010s. The bus is dressed for route 150. This route started in 1994 under the City Imp brand, replacing route 50 which operated to Willington Roundabout. The 150 had its terminus at nearby Rossmore and ran via Crumlin to the City Centre. In 2011, it replaced part of route 121 through the Liberties.

DeGrazia once said, “I remember when I painted murals. I’d paint the whole wall–all the walls of a room. I’d paint all day for twenty-five dollars.” DeGrazia started painting murals after his two-year apprenticeship under Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco in 1942. Happy Throwback Thursday!
This week we are going back twenty-seven years to 1996 and MA 3 at Blanchardstown Shopping Centre on route 237. This was a local route that connected the surrounding Blanchardstown area to the shopping centre. It started in October 1996 (along with the 238 and 239 when the shopping centre opened) and ran on a loop via Castleknock and Coolmine. The route was withdrawn in October 2010 under Network Direct. Its only change in all of that time was when the terminus within the Blanchardstown Centre was moved in 2006. The bus is seen here at the original terminus. The route was eventually replaced by route 37 between Castleknock and the Blanchardstown Centre.
MA 3 was new to Dublin Bus in 1993 and was withdrawn in 2001. It was initially allocated to City Imp route 120, but did also appear on the Blanchardstown local routes when they started.

DeGrazia wrote in a journal the “desert is spiritual, mysterious and religious. It is a big dream around a dream. Walk away from people into the desert, and soon you will find a deadly silence, loneliness, a vast emptiness. It is almost frightening. Then suddenly, like magic, you are not alone. Around you is felt a stirring of life, you have a feeling of a living desert, a very old desert.”
Happy Throwback Thursday!

isn't it strange how much style can evolve in a short period of time? this outfit is basically my style concept from 2005 (pink, a-line skirt, vintage cardy, blouse, chunky maryjanes). it felt homey & nostalgic to wear it, & also a little strange. i hadn't worn the cat shoes in ages, and had kind of forgotten how excited people can get about them.
polka dot tie blouse: the bay
pink cardy with white trim: thrifted
pink tights: the bay
knit tights (layered over): the bay
chiffon polka dot skirt: ricki's
cat maryjanes: out of the blue
pearls: grandma's
cat brooch: handmade by maggiepins
Lancia sold in the US? Maybe, we have Fiat once again here after all.
But for now it remains a throwback!
This is a teaser image from today's shoot with Candyce Layne and Carrie Lewis. A very "artistic approach". The final edit that will be sent to the magazine from these shots will not look like this, I'm sure...

This delightful European toy was my favorite gift for Song. It even has interchangable backdrops and a red curtain!
This week we are going back twelve years to two Olympians on Kildare Street. Dublin Bus RV 539 is seen on route 15 to Scholarstown Road, while RH 86 is on the Dublin Bus Hop-on, Hop-off open-top tour.
Route 15 started running between the city centre and Scholarstown Road in 1988. In December 2011 it became a cross-city route, running from Clongriffin to Stocking Avenue, though a year later the southern terminus was moved to Ballycullen Road. In January 2015, route 15 (along with other routes) was diverted away from Kildare Street and sent along South Great George's Street instead due to Luas Cross-City works.
Like the 15, the Dublin Bus tour started in 1988, and today falls under the DoDublin brand.
RV 539 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999 and was withdrawn in 2012. It was sold on to an operator in the UK. The RV was a Volvo Olympian, while RH 86 was a Leyland Olympian. It was an older bus, dating back to 1991. In 2000 it became part of the Dublin Bus driving school, and in 2003 it became a tour bus. It was withdrawn in 2014.
