    suit color for wife's black and white dress?

    I could see a nice chocolate brown working. Really anything goes with black and white, so I don't think there are many wrong choices here. As a way to compliment her, a nice black and white "bold look" tie matched with a white pocket square would be good. A pair of black and white spectators...

    What's for Dinner?

    Tonight it's fried okra, fried potatoes, and corn bread. No meat. I really got to make a grocery run this week.

    Berets, Anyone?

    Back in the '90s when I used to earn much of my living as a blues musician, a beret was a standard part of my stage attire. Not exactly Golden Era style, but I thought it pretty cool none-the-less

    Anyone have a maid when growing up?

    We often see '40s and '50s households depicted as having maids in movies and TV shows. So how many working class families really had maids? Growing up in the late '60s and '70s, we had a maid that came in usually twice a week (Tuesdays and Thursdays) to help my mother clean house, do laundry...

    HULK HOGAN's New Restaurant Dress Code.

    Comic book heros I get, but I've never understood the mass media appeal of Professional Wrestling on a national level such as WWF or WCW, especially to adults. I understand it better as local live entertainment, on the same level as Roller Derby. Something about the sleaze factor makes it better...

    What are you wearing today??

    As always Big Man, whether dressing down or dressing up, you always dress with impeccable style. Bravo.

    What seperates "golden era" from "midcentury"?

    I don't mind the terms classic and vintage as long as they are used in proper context. Not all old cars are classics. Some of them are just old junk. But I'd venture to say every automobile up through the 1950s had more style than anything made within the past 40 years. By the way, the standard...

    LizzieMaine, you are very much a classic.

    What seperates "golden era" from "midcentury"?

    I dare say "tacky" is a very subjective term, and rather a matter of opinion and taste. We have furnished our current home in mostly mid-century modern, and don't find it the least bit tacky.

    What's for Dinner?

    First really cool day of fall here: Perfect evening for chicken stew.

    suit color for wife's black and white dress?

    I don't think you could go wrong with a charcoal or navy pinstripe.

    Anyone else ever "jones" for their Golden Era fix?

    I love MeTV. I used to watch it religiously when we had cable. But now that we have gone to all streaming services via ROKU (thereby dropping our monthly bill from $150 to $16) I can pretty much access just about any old film or Tv show I want, anytime I want. And if not, I have a massive...

    The Non Shorpy Web All Stars.

    Back then characters were shown wearing backwards hats and baggy clothes for comic relief. Those were the marks of the dunce, the fool, the clown. I guess in many ways they still are.

    What's for Dinner?

    Well, today being my wife's 38th birthday, dinner tonight will be one of her favorites - her mom's homemade beef goulash, followed by her favorite cake - a special "Howard Johnson's" recipe chocolate cake, served with home-style vanilla ice cream.

    HULK HOGAN's New Restaurant Dress Code.

    Hey, I grew up in the heart of the "rasslin'" circuit here in the South, with the likes of Jerry Lawler, Austin Idol, and Tojo Yamamoto. A good friend of mine's stepfather was Leon McMurtry, a local pro wrestler and wrestling promoter, who was at one time part of the masked tag-team The Interns...

    Anyone else ever "jones" for their Golden Era fix?

    I've been unusually busy lately preparing to open a new business next month, so I really haven't had much time for TV, movies, Internet surfing, or The Fedora Lounge in recent weeks. What little time I have managed to set aside for TV viewing has been mostly spent with my wife, watching the...

    First TV shows I have a clear memory of are Gunsmoke, Bonanza, Land of The Giants, Night Gallery, Laugh-In, and HEE-HAW..

    No love from MTV

    Last time I watched it with any regularity, Money For Nothing was still in heavy rotation.
