Vintage Celebrity Cowboy Birthday
Roy Rogers & Dale Evans celebrate a child’s birthday with — what else? — a cowboy themed birthday cake. This photo feels like it was taken at a children’s ward… The seller offers no details, but says this is a previously unpublished photo.
The Appliance Ball
Kitchen appliance costume balls were serious business in the 1930s. You didn’t show up dressed half-heartedly or ironically. Well, unless you wanted to be funny and dress as an iron and call yourself ironic, but that might still get you kicked out. See more of the modern machinery of the 1930s here.
Jayne Cobb’s Hat
Towards the end of Firefly’s only season, Jayne Cobb picks up his mail from his mom, which includes a homemade gift: a ear-flap knitted cap. Fans love making replicas of props, and some industrious knitter has studied the hat through meticulous repeated viewings and pausing, resulting in instructions for how to make your own Momma Cobb Hat. People will know, when you walk down the street, that you’re the kind of person who’s not afraid of nothing.
