Navigating Las Vegas In 1967
Found at Dames Of Chance, where Shawnee fancies traveling back in time. So she needs a vintage map of the area.
I Was So Hoping Her First Name Would Be Ethel
When I read the caption for this photo in A Review of the Educational Motion Picture “The Way To A Man’s Heart”, my first thought was, “Oh, please, let her first name be Ethel!” because I completely fell in love with that name in On Golden Pond.
Where Chattanooga Plays
A vintage ad for Tennessee’s Lake Winnepesaukah Amusement Park found inside This Week In The Land of the Smokies and The Southern Highlands; despite this vintage travel guide’s title of “this week,’ this issue is dated “Events For The Month Of May 1963.”
The Devil Take Easter
Royal Easter Show, an agricultural show at the Sydney Showground, 1937.
Vintage Kellogg’s Knick Knacks
Spotted in a local antique mall, vintage kitschy Kellogg’s cereal characters. Tony The Tiger, Snap, Crackle & Pop are made of wood, paper, and, erm, some fuzzy stuff I do not want anywhere near my food.
Dames & Dogs #29
The poodle is there to balance out her hair. (Photo of Diane Arbus via La Contessa.)

“Kopis” Amounts Of Cigars
Vintage ad for Al Kopis’ Bowling Supplies, a “certified Brunswick service dealer,” found in a 1972 Center States Football League yearbook for the West Allis Spartans — back when men could (and should) be seen puffing a big fat cigar in their advertising materials.
Jayne Mansfield: As Gangsta As She Wants To Be
Rockin’ the pinstripes.
