If You Cant Take the Cute, Stay Outta the Kitschen



This is the cover of Seventeen magazine in 1966, the year I was born.

And this is a refurbished dressing table by Casper James. Check out his Flickr account which is chock-full of amazing eye candy and rooms I would like to live in.

Alice in Old-Maidland


Ann B. Davis was born in 1926. When the Brady Bunch started it was 1969, so she was 43. The show ran until she was 48. In those days your 40's were super-old. Alice had grey hair, frumpy clothing and a bad back. She often made "jokes" about not being married yet, and for some reason pined over that dullard Sam the Butcher. She once went out with a creepy scam man that wanted her money. For these dates she slipped on hideous 1960's grandma-going-to-church dresses and poufed up her greying hair into some sort of Aunt Bea-hive. Here is Alice at age 45 on a date with the swindler, as seen next to Julianna Margulies, Demi Moore and Salma Hayek who are 43, 45 and 43 respectively.
