    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    Rats. I spent three months in Charleston a few years back. This was before Cheerwine entered my consciousness, or I'd have looked for it. I've unearthed two restaurants in NYC that serve Cheerwine floats. If I ask nicely, maybe they'll sell me a bottle. .

    . Great site, Bruce. Thanks! Who knew there were so many great-looking soda labels still around? A few that caught my eye: (And Cheerwine is on sale!) .

    Modern Products with Vintage Style Packaging

    Sounds like just a handful of Southern states sell it, which makes it even more special. Never saw it in New Orleans when I was growing up. I've read that it's reminiscent of Dr. Pepper, and as a fan of Dr. P., I'm sure I'd love Cheerwine. And hooray for no corn syrup! Is Cheerwine priced like...

    Cheerwine.....have never had it, but the name touches my heart. So hopeful! I like the bottle's odd ridges and contours, too. .

    If I had to pick one girl from the golden era

    Rita Hayworth in Gilda pretty much seals the deal for me: "Put The Blame On Mame" At around 1:04 she starts working the hair, and that's when my knees give out. .

    How do loungers deal with extreme cold weather?

    Ditto. Northern Outfitter mittens are too bulky for note taking, so my hands are in the mittens between takes, and bare while shooting. Love cold weather, but hate filming in it! Fourteen-hour days are tiring enough; fourteen hours plus extreme cold plus heavy winter clothing is exhausting...

    How do loungers deal with extreme cold weather?

    Film crews take cold weather clothing very seriously. I've been on winter shoots where we were outside in frigid temperatures for 13-16 hours a day. Northern Outfitters are the the film industry "gold standard" for working in seriously cold conditions. A typical heavy-duty system would include...

    I could use a few Van Goghs in my dreams. . :) . (The other possibility is that the painting was by another artist.)

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    . Thanks, Anthony. Yes, some of the gold has taken on a greenish tinge. Hard to tell if it's the metal itself, or bleed from the blue enamel. UPDATE: I've never cleaned them in all the years I've had them (I know......shameful). Your comment inspired me to hit them with a little silver polish...

    Cufflinks and Shirt Studs.

    . Before extortionate rents killed small businesses, antique stores were plentiful throughout the East and West Village. The late '60s saw a resurgent interest in Art Deco in the US, and when I found these enamel cufflinks in the early '70s, stores were full of the stuff. (Scotrace, I took...
