I firmly believe I should have been. Well, not literally. But I have an affinity for the 1940’s and 50’s. The music, the fashions, the radio shows, the comfort foods….and the *ahem* adult beverages. I swear, if I could channel June Cleaver, I would.
And sometimes, I manage to come so close!
A friend of mine makes these wonderful vintage aprons, and I just acquired my third creation!! All that is missing is a martini in my hand. Or maybe a Tom Collins. At least in my fantasy.
In reality, it would be Alka Seltzer 😉

Well Mrs Aggie, I finally figured out who you kinda remind me of here:
Erma Bombeck ~ In a Machete-wielding zombie killer when not a stay-at-home mom kinda of way, of course.
And that is truly a compliment. I even have you bookmarked!
Unfortunately, I see you have some more time to write right now.

Hey, you!
I kinda like the Erma vibe, too 😉

You’re missing the pearl necklace

Unfortunately, it’s locked up, so I had to forgo this time 🙂

Would you be offended if I said it reminded me of a Christmas tree skirt?
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:51 AM
If I had legs like yours I would dress like that all the time!
September 23rd, 2011 at 9:57 AM
AG, not at all…. Hm… maybe I’ll get my aprons together and use them for my Christmas tree!!
Queen, you do, and you should 😉

Well, better June Clever than the other ladies from that era…the Stepford Wives.
Have to admit, I feel the same way. The late 30’s, 40’s would be where I wanted to be say at the age of about 25 or so. I would have given any of the crooners a run for their money. And would have enlisted in the Marines, when WWII started. In any event, it did seem life was a bit more black and white back then….shades of grey only really began being felt in the 60’s.

Awesome apron and love the dress. Love the legs goes without saying of course. 😉

I don’t know that Judy Holiday would have worn that, but if it was all she was wearing, I could handle it.

I assure you, there is a black skirt under my apron 😀
