Another Slice of Life
It’s going be a busy weekend, so Madge is putting up some short posts over the next few days. That way she can still stay up-to-date on National Blog Posting Month.
A few days ago Madge featured a fabulous Life Magazine spread on dinner hats. She thought you might like to see some of the marvelous ads from that issue.
So, here’s another slice of Life, this time from November, 1948.
Grant took this advice literally and married Drake shortly after filming this movie in 1948. She later became a psychologist. Reportedly she and Grant remained friends.
I really like the design idea for this swimsuit by Schiaparelli for Catalina. Three types of reveal.
Tagline for this one “perhaps tomorrow I’ll own silverware as beautiful as Helen’s“.
So that’s all from 1948. See you tomorrow.
Great idea Madge and a visual treat! Love the Forstmann ad…the colors, the style…advertising perfection and I really got a quick out of the STA NEET ad. My latest Brookstone catalog feautured a very similar hair cutting comb. I said to my husband, “Why didn’t anyone think of this before?”…apparently they did and as with everything, what’s old is new again:)
Well Madge…you caught my attention again. 1948…I was a twinkle in some Daddy’s eye..and that pattern of silverplate, “Remembrance”..that was my beloved mother’s pattern. Thanks for the memories..hope you had a wonderful weekend..looking forward to the rest of the month. Your trips down memory lane are truly a treat.
