Animal Crackers
Somewhere, USA, 1961

Thursday, February 23rd, 2006 \"slide\"

Could this living room be more Early American? I don’t think so! Don’t you just love that big bow on that ruffled lampshade? How about the tweedy sofa and that mini surrey parked on a doily on top of the maple coffee table. The spittoon and spinning wheel must be just out of frame! This […]

Disneyland Monorail
Anaheim, California, 1961

Thursday, February 16th, 2006 \"slide\"

Whooshing by on the highway in the sky, passengers travel in supreme space-age style between the Disneyland Hotel and Tomorrowland. I certainly hope they all heard the “Please keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times” recording because there are no windows!

Tats & Rings
Miami Beach, Florida, 1955

Thursday, February 9th, 2006 \"slide\"

Recognize Helen? Those of you who have seen my Retro Southern California Slide Show you may recall her posing in front of a mint green, satin-finish shower in a sexy semi-see-thru nightie.

Reading Life
Michigan, 1956

Thursday, January 26th, 2006 \"slide\"

Solid honey-blond wood chairs, a matching lampshade and tropical print sofa easily stand out from the deep forest green walls and white trim of this deluxe vacation cabin somewhere in the wilds of Michigan. The door is cracked open. Sitting on the arm of a green leather arm chair, a young lady with a long […]

The Steak Lady, Danbury, Connecticut, 1953

Thursday, January 19th, 2006 \"slide\"

A woman posing proudly with a fatty porterhouse steak, loosely wrapped in plastic, is letting all of the cold air out of the hardest working appliance in the house – it never stops! Between the big slab of meat, wheel of cheese, two jars of mayonnaise, bottle of mystery sauce, single tomato, bag of carrots, […]
