In the 90s I used to get mistaken for this chick named "April." Apparently, this April person looked just like me and I even had two of her ex-boyfriends ask me out just because I looked so much like her.
I never saw or met April. I haven't heard the comparison in years because I don't...
From the October 1945 issue of PHOTOPLAY magazine, I present the ladies of The Powder Room with all the FANTASTIC glamour advertisements I found while flipping through this mag! Really, the ads were more exciting than the main movie content! Enjoy!

Mine happened when I was a kid and I swear that this happened to this day!
I used to ly in bed at night with my door open and all the lights off. Every single night a strange man would shuffle back and forth in front of my door. He was dressed like a cowboy; had on a big brown chaps, a big...
That whole blog is great. I especially enjoyed this:

What life will be like in 2001 as predicted by those living in 1900!
Thanks, I LOVE this kind of stuff. Anything futuristic from the past is really interesting to me, especially if it's predicting a time period I've lived through. That's why Just Imagine (1930) is my favourite movie!
The 3-barrel modern wavers do nothing for me, either. I have real 1920s vintage wavers (the kind you heat over the stove!) and my wave always comes out PERFECT with them.
I hope you have better luck with the iron than some of us have! ;)
When I was in 7th grade I had a bit of a "Name Crisis." I hated "Amy" and wanted to be called "Felicity Exene" (after Felicity Kendall and Exene Cervenka!)
Since THAT cool name wasn't going to happen I decided I was going to be "A. Rebecca." And I would sign my schoolwork that way for a...
Also, this issue contained a scathingly wonderful article about the new talkies and how the stars are supposedly coping with it! It's a fun read, but I'll just leave you the links because I left the scans pretty big:

I had just watched him in a delightful little "B" movie called I'm From Arkansas (1944) and then saw the news on another message board a few weeks ago. It always upsets me when someone from the Golden Era that I didn't even know was still alive dies.
My grandmother was a teenager in the 40s and she's always going on about how great the 40s were. She wasn't rich, her dad died in 1940, and her little brother contracted polio, but she'll still tell you that it was "better" back then.
Anything on the ASV Living Era record label. Especially their "Hits Of..." year-by-year collection. They have every year from 1920 to 1955 (except 26-29, which are in the works!)
