Artist’s Blog #138 - The Beach Girls and The Monster (1965)

A Groovy Introduction to The Beach Girls and The Monster

Stereotypes often feel subjective. For me, the 1960s are perfectly captured in The Beach Girls and The Monster. It’s one of my favorite films, and the intro is exactly how I imagine that incredible decade. It sets the tone for the entire movie. Don’t expect a deep storyline, stunning effects, or a cinematic masterpiece—just sit back and enjoy a vintage adventure. If you’re around my age, this might be how you picture 1965 too. For those who actually remember 1965, your experience might be different. If so, share your thoughts in the comments. Now, grab your surfboard—let's go surfing!

1960s Fashion in The Beach Girls and The Monster

I may have mentioned this before, but I have a confession to make. I often regret certain decisions, especially missed purchases. My wife and I, both antique junkies, were on vacation in Florida when I found a handmade pink and white 1960s bikini. It was priced at $65, and I passed on it. In hindsight, I should have bought it. The Beach Girls and The Monster opens with similar bikinis and classic ‘60s shimmy dancing on a beach to surf rock. At this point, I’m half-expecting the monster to join in the dance. After all, it’s 1965—monsters weren’t exactly terrifying back then, right?

A Retro House Tour in The Beach Girls and The Monster

Let’s talk about some of the "1960s stuff" in The Beach Girls and The Monster. The house in the movie really caught my attention. According to IMDB, it belonged to the film’s art director, Shirley Rose, and her husband, Henry. Located at 816 Glenmere Way in West Los Angeles, the house is now blurred on Google Maps. You can, however, watch a YouTube video of it today here. I think it was far more impressive in 1965. The view over the city lights of LA from the poolside is breathtaking, even in an old film like this. Inside, the house features a bar with steps leading down to it, allowing a character to serve drinks at the proper level, casually grabbing a Coke from the fridge. The photo below is of the house today.

The house also boasts various 1960s furnishings. Highlights include the eclectic wall textures, unique light fixtures, a pottery kiln, and an unusual doorbell. The rooms feature multiple wall textures—one might be brick, while another has period-patterned wallpaper. The living room fireplace is quite impressive. There’s a wooden wall with a patterned cutout leading into the bar, providing partial visibility into the next room. And there’s what looks like an indoor wind chime, which is actually a doorbell. You can see a similar one here. I’ve never seen one before. It’s clear from these glimpses that the Roses were quite affluent in 1965. Look at the lights I'm referring to in the screenshot below.

Scooby-Doo Vibes in The Beach Girls and The Monster

Though Scooby-Doo, Where Are You? didn’t premiere until 1969, The Beach Girls and The Monster shares a similar vibe. The monster is obviously someone in a costume—this is clear from the start, especially considering the film was made in 1965. As the plot unfolds, this becomes even more obvious. In the final scenes, a second mask is found, and during a confrontation, the monster’s mask is removed, revealing a man. The "meddling kids" are then in a car chase with the police, ending in one of the most hilariously fake crashes I’ve ever seen. This scene could be from a bad special effects reel. When the son tries to approach the crashed car to check on his father, who was the monster, the cop says, “You can’t get within 50 feet of that vehicle.” And just like that, the film abruptly ends.

Speaking of cheesy effects, the driving scenes deserve a mention. Have you ever seen those old movies where a stationary car is surrounded by projected footage to create the illusion of movement? That’s exactly what The Beach Girls and The Monster does. The film features some standout vehicles, like a '63 Corvette Stingray, a '63 Cadillac Eldorado, and a '59 MG A 1600—all of which look great on screen. I never thought I’d say this, but I actually liked the Stingray more than the Caddy—Wow! Check out all the classic cars in the movie here. The photo below is of a model car but, this is very similar to the Stingray you get to see in The Beach Girls and The Monster.

Surf Culture Highlights in The Beach Girls and The Monster

Night surfing just doesn’t sound like a good idea—though, to be fair, I’d need to learn how to surf during the day first. If you’re into surf culture, this movie is a must-watch. Here’s why: The Beach Girls and The Monster includes a fair amount of filler. Normally, I’m not a fan of filler, but it works here. The movie features authentic vintage surf footage, projected within a 1960s high-end home, giving viewers a genuine taste of surf culture and ‘60s tech. This pairs perfectly with the movie’s score. The opening song, “Dance Baby Dance,” written by Frank Sinatra Jr., is a catchy surf rock tune. The soundtrack seamlessly transitions between surf rock and music reminiscent of The Pink Panther skulking around.

Naturally, surf rock means beaches, girls, and bikinis—and The Beach Girls and The Monster has them all. This brings us to the film’s most comedic moment: a nighttime beach party. I haven’t laughed this hard in a while at something so poorly executed. Did kids really have beach parties with dancing and bonfires in 1965? If you know, please let me know in the comments. This scene features ventriloquist puppets, annoying voices, spontaneous singing, make-out sessions, and silly glasses with springy eyeballs. Thankfully, this filler segment doesn’t last too long.

Unexplained Twists in The Beach Girls and The Monster

Like many films, The Beach Girls and The Monster has several unexplained elements that don’t quite add up. For instance, one character is hobbling from an unspecified accident, unable to save a friend from the monster, make out, or even go to work. Yet, he somehow disappears from conversations like a ninja, scales cliffs, and steals cars. When the police arrive, their sudden appearance is unexplained—no one called them, there were no gunshots or screams. Someone, please explain—who called 911?

1960s Beach Party Fun in The Beach Girls and The Monster

Despite its flaws, The Beach Girls and The Monster has enough 1960s beach party fun to make it a memorable movie from that era. If you watch it expecting a fun, nostalgic trip filled with shimmy dancing and a goofy monster, you’re in for a great movie night. But if you’re hoping for scares or suspense, you’ll be disappointed. Retro fans, antique collectors, sci-fi enthusiasts, horror history buffs, and vintage surf lovers will likely enjoy this film. You can even watch it for free on YouTube here. If you have answers to any questions I’ve asked in this blog, please share them in the comments.

In conclusion, if you know of other movies like The Beach Girls and The Monster, please share your recommendations. I genuinely enjoyed this one. On an art-related note, the poster for this movie is fantastic—I’d love to frame a copy and display it if I could find one at the right price. Follow my art journey on social media, visit my website, and consider buying my art here. If you liked this blog or the movie, please share it. Peace.

Building a house in the sims 4 but every room is a different pink floyd album

I built this ages ago and it just now occurred to me that I could share this here. I was inspired by a lilsimsie video where she did the same thing except each room is a different Taylor Swift album.

So I built this shell of a house with 14 rooms (+ the exterior so 15 total albums) and then randomised an album for each room and decorated accordingly. Since I wasn't planning on actually playing in the house I didn't bother with landscaping lmao. Sorry for the awkwardly wide shots, I got lazy taking screenshots.

Anyways I suggest making it into a game by going through the photos first and trying to guess which album they are before reading. Let me know if you get them all and what references you catch

As a bonus I added the interior design styles I was vaguely inspired by

Here's the downstairs and upstairs floorplans

The exterior: I cannot make this up. I got the Wall, I was cackling

Style: I wanted English cottage but not in a thatched roof way.. in a Georgian way... and then I remembered I started complaining about Georgian cottages so I added more...shape and ended up with this... eh...

The Entryway: Ummagumma

Style: a bit transitional, she's homey, she's relaxed

I started off thinking I was going to make a relatively ordinary house

Downstairs hallway: Endless River

That basegame gradient wallpaper was actually perfect. This is the second room I did and slowly started dropping any pretenses that this was going to be an ordinary house

Downstairs Powder room: Momentary Lapse of Reason

Style: coastal but in an extra silly goofy way

THIS is where I finally decided to embrace the chaos. Unfortunately I didn't get a bedroom for this album but I actually like how it turned out.

The dining room: Wish You Were Here

Style: brutalism and minimalism

I'm actually obsessed with how this one (pls notice the grate behind the table)

The kitchen: Meddle

Style: Rustic, cottage

This was difficult...I was heavily relying on the colour scheme and references to the lyrics since the album cover looks like.. well... that...

The office: A Saucerful of Secrets

Style: 60s space age and Mid-Century modern

I was so thrilled to use that 60s space age chair

The living room: Obscured by Clouds

Style: traditional

I shared this with my dad and this room made him laugh.. I too was cackling while decorating it

laundry/utility/mudroom: Division Bell

Style: .......... fuck if I know

pls tell me you see the vision because this was a struggle

Upstairs hallway: More

Style: Spanish revival, Spanish colonial

uh... there wasn't much to do here but that's what I had in mind. Not pictured is a nice wooden chandelier above the stairs.

.......... I take it back. This was even more of a struggle

Bedroom 1: Animals

Style: Industrial

This is probably my second favourite room

Bedroom 2: Atom Heart Mother

Style: She's rustic, she's farmhouse

I HAD to use that topiary

Bedroom 3: Dark Side of the Moon

Style: If I had to choose one I would say contemporary even though it's not actually reflected in the room

Discover University actually came with a Dark Side inspired poster so I KNEW I would be using it

Bedroom 4: The Final Cut

pls tell me why the two kids' rooms ended up being colour-drenched in black..

(the bed is a military cot....)

Upstairs bathroom: Piper at the Gates of Dawn

style:... she's ...... eclectic

Saved best for last. The Sims has a gnome obsession and I FINALLY got to use them all

#So more about me I guess... I love playing the Sims... both building and gameplay #I also REALLY like interior decor and would consider redoing the album and design style associations #^^ especially since this one was heavily based on the visuals of the album covers and just whatever I thought was hilarious #My regular builds are better than this I promise ;-;#this was minimally decorated and also a joke build #pink floyd #meme energy #sims 4 #irving rambles #photo post #had the albums out beside me while I was decorating

4, 19 and 21 for that ask game!!

4 - what do i wear when i have to dress nicely?

i have two types of clothes. one is grey hoodies and grey tracksuit bottoms. the other is fancy dinner party style shit. i have a REALLY cool 1870s style dress. prairie dress kinda thing. but i don't normally wear it much because other people don't like it as much as i do (they have no appreciation for fashion). i think it just looks pretty old fashioned.

i have a regency style dress (blue. i love blue dresses. the prairie dress is blue as well) and a 1930s style red polka dot dress as well that i absolutely LOVE, and because they look slightly less weird and wacky i wear them quite a lot. (my fancy style is WAY more fem than my normal style. catch me wearing a dress or skirt normally. nuh uh). also i have an AMAZING black jumpsuit so.

19 - what's my favourite halloween costume from when i was a kid?

i went as wednesday addams for halloween once. i love wednesday. i relate to her on a spiritual level.

21 - what's my favourite period in art history, my favourite famous painting or my favourite art style?

i feel like my taste in art is kinda eclectic. i love bauhaus. i mean. look at it.

i also really like william morris wallpaper and i KNOW that's the complete opposite of bauhaus but.

i think i mostly like these two art styles because there's lots of william morris and bauhaus art at my grandma's house. she collects a lot of art from around the world (there is a miniature totem pole on the windowsill). i like all of it, just bauhaus and william morris are the only two styles i actually know the name of (i promise my taste in art isn't as eurocentric as it sounds). as for favourite painting. WAGHHH. idk. anything by turner tbh. i mean. have you SEEN those skies. or the one with the polar bears tearing apart that ship on the ice. or anything with trees in. or that one that's all kinda beige and brown and red with the factory and the little guys in black suits. the list goes on and on...

#thank you for the asks!!!#sorry this is so long i got carried away #dee rambles #asks

The Pastel Ladies - A Delightful Duplex by Harlequin Eyes

I built this duplex a few years ago, inspired by a house I drive by occasionally. In my mind the homes are occupied by two elderly sisters. Each side has a living room, kitchen, half bathroom, full bathroom, main bedroom, secondary bedroom/study/bonus room, small back yard, and a tiny front porch off the main bedroom where the sisters sit and chat over tea and coffee. It's definitely got a lot of "cool grandma" energy but you can make it over however you want.

This has been in my game for a while, and I've modified it slightly to work with the upcoming Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack. More pictures under the cut!

From Classic to Contemporary: The Best Wallpaper Styles for Walls

When it comes to enhancing your home décor, wallpaper for walls is a game-changer. It combines style and functionality, allowing you to create spaces that reflect your personality. From classic designs to bold contemporary patterns, wallpapers provide the flexibility to transform any room effortlessly. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the best wallpaper styles for walls, ensuring your home achieves a flawless and inspiring look

Why Wallpaper for Walls is a Superior Choice

Wallpaper for walls isn’t just a decorative element—it’s a practical solution that adds depth, texture, and character. Unlike paint, wallpapers can hide imperfections, provide durability, and deliver a luxurious feel that elevates any room. With endless patterns, materials, and finishes, wallpaper is the ultimate choice for walls in both residential and commercial spaces.

Classic Wallpaper Styles for Timeless Elegance

1. Damask Patterns

Damask wallpapers have been a symbol of luxury for centuries. Their intricate floral and ornamental designs add elegance to formal spaces like living rooms and dining areas. Choose rich tones like gold, emerald, or burgundy for an opulent touch.

2. Vertical Stripes

Striped wallpapers are versatile and timeless. Vertical stripes make rooms appear taller, while horizontal stripes can add width to compact spaces. Classic colors such as navy and white or muted pastel tones exude a sense of balance and sophistication.

3. Vintage Floral Prints

Floral wallpapers bring a charming, old-world vibe to your interiors. Large floral patterns make a bold statement, while smaller, intricate designs are perfect for cozy spaces like bedrooms and reading nooks.

Modern Wallpaper Styles for Sleek Spaces

1. Geometric Patterns

Geometric wallpapers are the epitome of modernity. With sharp lines, dynamic shapes, and bold colors, they create a focal point in any room. Opt for metallic accents or 3D effects to add a contemporary flair.

2. Abstract Designs

Abstract wallpapers mimic art, featuring splashes of color, gradients, or brushstroke effects. These are perfect for adding a creative, avant-garde element to spaces like offices or entertainment rooms.

3. Textured Minimalism

Modern interiors often prioritize simplicity. Wallpapers with textures like linen, concrete, or subtle metallic finishes deliver understated elegance. These styles work exceptionally well in Scandinavian-inspired or industrial spaces.

Unique and Eclectic Wallpaper Styles

1. Tropical Themes

When I was a little kid I lived in a mishmash of a neighborhood

The houses were all different, some were immaculately clean and decorated with a catalogue like eye, others were empty, newlyweds who had not yet discovered their compromises and filled their spaces with well meaning gifts from relatives with questionable tastes

My favorite homes were the ones filled with an odd, eclectic beauty

Filled with figurines collected through childhood, tapered candles, cat toys, and sprawling spider plants and vines

There was a sense of love that filled the spaces along with the Hallmark stationary

A love that did not care what anyone else said, it was a refuge for the owner

A space that simultaneously was a secret hidden in the walls and wore a beating heart on its shutters

This love is what I feel when I see you,

When I look into your eyes I see a house that isn’t quite cookie cutter but isn’t quite custom,

I see a home that may not have started out as mine but I would do anything to keep,

I see an heirloom of a place that generations of emotions have passed through, anger, sadness, and joy all stemming from the passion written in the faded wallpaper,

I see a refuge,

I see novelty rabbits and olive print dishes like my great grandmother’s,

In you I see a place that the neighborhood kids can see love for the very first time

Create a Nautical Study Room

A nautical study room is a fun way to decorate your home. Whether you're looking for a bold navy blue wallpaper or a subtle seaside motif, this design style can be versatile.

How to Decorate Nautical Study Room

Avoid using overly themed decor items, as they can quickly become outdated. Instead, use accent pieces that evoke the nautical theme without being overtly decorative.

Achieve a modern nautical look with textured tiles that suggest ripples in water. These gauged porcelain tiles feature a sand-like texture that adds interest to walls and a sense of movement to the space. Pair them with navy life-inspired wall sconces and calming neutral colors to create a serene coastal room. When we want to buy a beach style house we need to pay attention to the interior design it has.

If you're going for a bolder nautical look, choose a pattern that incorporates blue and white stripes. You can tile stripes across the entire room or, like this bathroom, opt for a more subtle look with alternating rows of blue and white. Textured tiles also add depth to a nautical room and are a great choice for bathrooms because they have practical non-slip qualities. They can be used on floors or walls and come in a variety of styles from realistic wood to quirky pebble mosaics.

Fresh Nautical Decoration Style

For nautical decor that feels fresh and classic, try adding striped accents. This design style is versatile and can be incorporated into many types of rooms. For example, you can use it on furniture or as curtains. It works well with light colors, especially blues and whites. The varying shades of blue help keep the room bright and cheerful. In addition, the ships in this room act as a great focal point.

If you want to add a rustic element to your nautical room, consider reclaimed wood. The material brings a natural constituent to the space, helping kids disconnect from their electronics and get in touch with nature. It also offers a durable and sustainable alternative to traditional materials like carpet.

Another way to incorporate a rustic element is to use natural elements like seashells and rattan. You can also add a jute rug for a natural look. Alternatively, you can use woven wicker or rattan chairs to create a more modern nautical room.

Gives an Impression to Nautical Decoration

Nautical decor can add a sense of history, warmth and a homey feeling to any room. Use authentic marine elements like wood oars, passageway lights, aluminum anchors and rope knots to create an interesting eclectic style that is both rustic and coastal. Use nautical decorations for your study room to create a unique space that is a true sea-inspired escape.

Nautical-themed homes can range from serene and minimal to preppy and collected. The theme can also be reflected in a wide variety of color schemes, from softer shades inspired by driftwood and sea glass to crisp high-contrast colors that reflect the bright blues and whites of a racing ship.

Nautical interior design is often highlighted with ample natural light, which reflects the brightness of the ocean and creates a mood that is both soothing and relaxing. When natural light isn’t available, warm LED mood and accent lighting can help create a nautical feel in any home. An easy way to own a nautical style house is through the property sales website thegardengranny.com.
