Modeling the Tree Skirt, Southern California, 1957
A serpentine, sidewalk-less, suburban street frames front lawns planted with modest winter-blooming posies. A toddler age Mexican fan palm and a street lamp flank the driveway. Both are bordered by circular cement scallops, which match the scalloped hemline on that smart felt tree skirt.
I’m not sure if the lady modeling or working the curb?
Here’s to working a tree skirt and YOU!!!

This lady looks a lot like Peggy on Mad Men.
I do this every year with our family tree skirt before I actually put it on the tree. Hmm, I might need to hide the photographic evidence of that….
Attended your tour on 12/9 which was awesome. Unfortunately I’m unable to make any of the Redcat shows.
Love it, love it, love it!
My brother in Chandler, Az. just filled me in on his great evening with you ! Checked out your site. Any D-Land shots from the late 50′s, early 60″s? That’s when I and later, my brother’s, worked there ! What a great site,Thank you so much. Byee for now !!

I remember wearing colorful skirts and blouses
like that and how it made us so happy to be wearing decorated clothing. It made us feel
beautiful and happy.
Do you miss Audrey Hepburn haircuts (this one with spit curls!) as much as I do?
What puzzles me is why she had to haul herself all the way out to the driveway apron to have this picture taken.
I dig that shirt too! I’d wear it everyday.
Notice the crossed spears and mask on the wall of the house behind her. Kewl. Lover her shirt too!
