What Did You Drink Last Night?
Hot day in So Cal, so drinks on the patio. Had a grown up lemonade: a slug of homemade Limoncello in a tall, ice-filled glass, with the juice of half a lemon and topped up with club soda. Really refreshing.- Alex Oviatt

Fedora Color suggestions
Gray...... unless you are planning on wearing it in the country, to the races or hunting/shooting/fishing, in which case I think that a blown hat is indicated--and should be a Trilby anyway in that case.- Alex Oviatt

The Master and Margarita
A great book, indeed! One of my favorites. While TMAM is clearly his masterpiece, The White Guard and Heart of a Dog are well worth reading as well. Anushka has already bought the sunflower oil.....- Alex Oviatt

British Smoking Advertisements from 1951
Great ads--thanks for posting. One of my guilty pleasures is looking through back issues of the Illustrated London News--mostly for the ads. These are right up there.- Alex Oviatt

What Are You Reading
John O'Hara's The Big Laugh, his East Coast swipe at Hollywood in the 20s and 30s. My favorite line: In the Lancia, even before he started the engine she said, "They were not going to recieve you with open arms, anyway. If you don't belong to the California Club, don't expect much...- Alex Oviatt

Men (or women) What is your favorite perfume for women?
My teenage daughter, who usually only wears Kelly Caleche (given to her by Dad), just got Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino which smells really great on her and is totally suitable for a young lady.- Alex Oviatt

Profound Quotes
I love the line in the deeply funny 1984 film American Dreamer where a drunk Jo Beth Williams says: "Wasn't it Nietzsche who said 'Was mich nicht umbringt macht mich stärke? Deep, huh?" Deep, indeed. Great film with J-B W., Tom Conti and Giancarlo Giannini--heaps of style. Bset in...- Alex Oviatt

What are you listening to?
Have been on a Benny Goodman binge lately. All good! His "Clarinade" is a lesson in virtuosity (as it was intended).- Alex Oviatt

Zooey Deschanel on SNl
Did anyone catch this a few weeks back? There was a great sketch with Jean Dujardin but the best bit, IMO, was a film noir send up where Zooey (looking the part!) finds herself in a fast-talking wise-cracking film noir--it is really fun! I couldn't find it on Youtube or I would have posted it!- Alex Oviatt

I just scored a pair of Peals for BB black patent evening pumps at my local Out of the Closet thrift store. Worn once. $7.75. One size bigger than the pair I bought twenty years ago so just about right! How could I resist?- Alex Oviatt

Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?
I like all sorts of atmospheres but one of the biggest things for me is what kind--if any--of music is playing. I was recently in the bar of a celebrity chef's restaurant in Las Vegas. Despite all of that, it was actually a beautiful room--great decor, fantastic bartender, wonderful choice of...- Alex Oviatt
