What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Around this time of year, Christmas episodes of favorite TV shows are great to watch. My favorite, which I watched last night, is the Avenger's holiday offering, "Too Many Christmas Trees" which features Steed and Mrs. Peel in Dickensian garb. Steed gets a Christmas card from Cathy Gale, doing...- Alex Oviatt

What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Just watched the 1940 sleeper "Second Chorus" with Fred Astaire and Paulette Goddard--great movie, not a particularly big hit in its day. Wonderful scenes with Artie Shaw who plays himself in the movie--this seems to have been to Artie Shaw what "Sun Valley Serenade" and "Orchestra Wives" were...- Alex Oviatt

Union City--A modern film noir tale of murder and paranoia set amid the grit of a 1950s industrial city based on the novel by Cornell Woolrich (Rear Window). With Dennis Lipscomb and Deborah Harry with a walk on part by a very young Pat Benatar. Good hats.- Alex Oviatt

Vintage Jewelery in LA
How high end? There are several great estate jewelry stores in town (Frances Klein in Berverly Hills is very good) and very expensive and lots of the smaller jewelry stores have an estate section--Arnold's Jewelry on Lake in Pasadena has beautiful vintage/estate pieces and they are great for...- Alex Oviatt

philosophies of the late 1940s
Well, I don't know if this is a philosophy of the late forties but it certainly is a philosopher writing in the forties: L'âge de raison (The Age of Reason) is a 1945 novel by Jean Paul Sartre. It is the first part of the trilogy Les chemins de la liberté, the road to freedom--very interesting...- Alex Oviatt

Liqueurs We Love
Drambuie does it for me and can be cut with whisky for a Rusty Nail if something less sweet is required. Cointreau is probably the most useful and the one to have if you are only stocking one liqueur in your bar. Just thinking about it makes me want to have a Sidecar. There are some wonderful...- Alex Oviatt

Goodwill buys
No, an even earlier label of his the shows a bowler and a walking stick--from the 80s. I bought several of his things back then at the Robinson's in Beverly Hills and still have a pair of white flannels. The suit I got is exactly as described by Patrick Bateman, primary character in Bret Easton...- Alex Oviatt

Goodwill buys
Just scored a navy blue pin stripe double breasted suit at the Goodwill in Downtown LA. By Alan Flusser, it is a classic drape suit, with all of the classic/bespoke details he is noted for. Fits very well, minor alterations may be required--a seriously good suit. All for $20!- Alex Oviatt

Vintage Town nominees
In my neck of the woods, I think that South Pasadena, Sierra Madre and Monrovia all have a very vintage feel. You could easily see a 1947 Cadillac drive down the street and think nothing of it (except, of course to wonder who the lucky devil is that has a '47 Caddie....). As for a nice...- Alex Oviatt

What Did You Drink Last Night?
A wee drop of Lagavulin and water. Here in Los Angeles, when it drops to 60 degrees--especially if it is wet--it means that it is time for full winter comfort food and drink, as it will be back up in the 80s before you know it. Lagavulin, with its dense, smokey, peaty notes is the perfect...- Alex Oviatt
