My design was fortunate enough to win the recent "Loves Throwback" competition sponsored in part by Mountain Dew and is now on sale at Threadless. Many thanks to everyone who supported the design, I really appreciate it. :)
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RV 539 was new to Dublin Bus in 1999 and was withdrawn in 2012.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 It was withdrawn in 2014.

or #Transformation! lol
I'm totally digging that that reused the orignal color scheme as the original Bubbling Mermaid. <3
I borrowed AquaticUndine's photo for this comparison! If you wish for me to take it down I will!
This week we are going back thirty years to 1995 and to P 39 on O'Connell Street with a service on route 10 to UCD Belfield.
Buses started operating on route 10 between the Phoenix Park and Donnybrook in 1940. In 1970 the route reached the Belfield campus of University College Dublin (UCD). Network Direct saw the end of the route in 2010. It was replaced on the southside by route 39A, and on the northside by route 46A.
P 39 was new to Dublin Bus in 1993. It was one of the early CitySwift buses, with the first batch arriving in 1992. It was withdrawn in 2003, and joined the Bus Eireann school fleet in Limerick. It was withdrawn around 2014.
Although P 39 was a CitySwift bus, route 10 was not a CitySwift route.

Ya-hooo! I really like the 2nd incarnation of the Mountain Dew Throwback can as they bring back the "It'll tickle your innards" guy.
I love this stuff. The Pepsi Company made "Pepsi Throwback" which has a "retro" design to the cans and uses the old logo. It's also made with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup to make it taste more like it used to I guess back in the 1960's and 70's. I wasn't around back then of course, but I definitely like it a lot better! You can really taste the difference between regular Pepsi and Pepsi Throwback. After drinking the Throwback soda, the regular Pepsi has kind of a nasty chemical taste to it.
I really wish they would replace regular Pepsi with Pepsi Throwback permanently!
I took this picture with my antique Polaroid 440 camera, and Fuji FP-100C instant peel-apart film.
The absolute realest family photo I've seen. Just true-to-life perfection all around. It's my favorite.

This is the first Nitro Throwback photo posted, from an idea hatched after seeing the huge amount of NHRA images in my hard drive. They'll be a regular occurrence.
The Yaqui Deer Dance is most prominent during the Easter season. The deer dancer wears a shawl wrapped as a skirt with a belt traditionally made of deer hooves. He carries a gourd in each hand and ties rattles to his ankles. A real or imitation deer head is fastened to his head. Red ribbons wind around the horns to represent flowers. This ceremony inspired DeGrazia to create several works of art including the seven-foot bronze statue of the Deer Dancer in the gallery’s courtyard. Happy Throwback Thursday!
