Hello all. as you can probably guess from my previous post, we have made it safely over the river and through the woods (and over the snowy mountains) and we are now safe in Ellensburg with our families.  We are hanging out in my old bedrooms, DH Jed is reading and I am nursing the little man and catching up on posts.  From downstairs the delicious smells of mom cooking our Christmas Eve dinner are wafting. 

I hope the 'Do at Chez BK is splendidly splendid tonight.

It is nearly 40 degrees today with a lot of rain.  So no chance of being like DR GEORGE and getting stuck at the DQ!

DR DtM - I enjoyed the pictures of Christmasvillage Town....but I really liked the train ride!  What fun.  Thanks so much!  I almost needed my Dramamine!

Well, then it's a good thing that the battery on my camera ran out of power because I had planned on finishing the trip by running the train in reverse!

I know we have been requesting a lot of HHW vibes these day, but if you find a few spare ones rattling around in your pocket, could you send them towards my supervisor, Julia?  She is on a three week trip to Guinea with a group from the states, and if you've seen world news today you know that their long time dictator/president died yesterday and now the military is claiming that they are taking over the country.  I'm sure she's safe, but it might be awhile before she can come home.

For the 1950s, I think that AIP of all the studios, did the best job of representing the clothing of the late 1950s...and that might be because so many of the actors and actresses wore clothing out of their own closet...

This shirt worn by John Ashley in DRAGSTRIP GIRL is a good example.




RUNAWAY DAUGHTERS is another example of the wardrobe used in AIP films of the 1950s.






I remember John Ashley.  He, Nick Adams and Robert Conrad were very good friends.

About 100 years ago, I tried to put together a picture with those 3 guys in the cast, but the money was not to be found.  T.V. Mikels was going to be the cinematographer.

I'm trying to decide whether to see GRAN TORINO or BENJAMIN BUTTON tomorrow.

Or you can go see VALKYRIE and find out why...

Did I actually hear Clint Eastwood say "You kids get off my lawn!" in the GRAN TORINO trailer?  Will that become the latest tough-guy catch phrase?

VALKYRIE is a movie for DVD.

At the encouragement of - and after some suggestions from - some chatters, I did a redraft of the "Fish" number (a parody, to the tune of Zip), and wanted to get that version on the permanent innernet also  :)

ROTFLMAO!!!

DR Tomovoz - if you haven't heard of David Sedaris, you haven't been reading all the posts!    ;)       Enjoy your new discovery.  He's a blast!

I didn't read this one either DR BellJingle.  Next you'll be telling me there are notes every day

It's not snowing in "Austria".

I wonder if it is snowing in Portland OR.

Glad you liked the Gonda article, DR JRand58.  There's plenty more where that came from!

HERE, for example...   ;)


I guess I missed the first article.

Still numbed up and trying to eat my lunch.

And trying also not to drool on myself.
