Am I truly a "Golden Era" guy?

[carebear]

What about Hayseed Dixie?

Hell's (cow)Bells?

 

[BAZ]

I like "Big Bottoms"......erm BY Hayseed Dixie I mean.
Wait, on second thoughts, I DO like Big Bums!!!

 

[GOK]

Hehehe, you two are such fun!

I have no clue what on Earth you people are talking about...whatever it is, it certainly isn't very becoming.

Would I fit into the '30's and '40's? I don't fit in NOW!

Like Michaelson, if I were dropped in New York City in the '30's, I would be lost (I would run screaming as fast as I could toward the city limits if I were suddenly dropped in present-day New York City!), but if I were transported back to small-town middle America in this time period (or most any other time period for that matter), I 'spect I'd do fine. Oh, I wouldn't want to work like they did then, but I'd get used to it. I wouldn't care to go to war either... I'd miss the internet, and all the cool things I have been able to find and purchase because of it. I WOULDN'T miss television...I haven't seen more than two or three shows I could stand to watch in the last fifteen years anyway.

Hayseed Dixie does country-style covers of AC/DC songs, thus the name.

It's hard rock with a twang.

[huh]

Richard Cheese is a lounge singer - he does lounge versions of popular songs. Hayseed Dixie, as mentioned, do AC/DC covers in a bluegrass fashion and the Puppini Sisters might be called the modern day Andrews Sisters, doing swing versions of pop songs. In what way is any of that unbecoming?

 

[Fatdutchman]

Well, the picture that has been taken down for one thing!

Aww you should have asked - I'd have removed it sooner. I'm sorry if it offended you; it was supposed to be amusing. I thought it was

So, anything else?

For certain spellings of "amusing," yes...

Given the way I grew up, I think I'd fit into the 30s-40s pretty much seamlessly -- there'd be things that'd annoy me, certainly, but I think on the whole I'd feel a lot less disoriented and disconnected than I do in this era. Even with the depression and the war there'd be a lot more of a market for my particular skills then than there seems to be now -- just about everything I'm good at is either obsolete or well on its way to becoming so! There was certainly a lot more opportunity for creative women in radio sixty years ago than there is now -- and, gee, being a film projectionist in those days was a high-paying and prestigious union job! So point me to the time portal -- I'm ready to go anytime...

Two things from me:

1) I am definitely a modern/vintage hybrid woman. I love being able to select aspects of the 20s/30s to incorporate into my daily life, rather than replace it.

2)

Puppini Sisters might be called the modern day Andrews Sisters, doing swing versions of pop songs

I need to find me their albums. Now. lol

Ooh! Thank you! I'll listen tonight; right now I'm at work

 

[BAZ]

Hey, I kinda like that Puppini thang!!
Have to add it to mah collection!
Sad to see the T-shirt pic gone.
Sure, we all appreciate the "Golden Era", but today's sensibilities surely must prevail?
Was ANYONE offended?

 

[carebear]

Baz,

The standard for pics and such isn't whether anyone is actually offended.

It's laid out in the guidelines, PG - level stuff only. It's easier to establish a hard and fast rule rather than worry about a sliding line. Even the threads on actual vintage undergarments are held to that standard, though those would be purely informative and not intended to be sexy.

I appreciated the pic and it is saucy wordplay, but it was a little too prurient for posting.

If you want to discuss it further, PM a moderator.

 

[GOK]

I was actually only intending to leave it there for ten minutes for amusement value but forgot about it until FD commented and I checked back to see what he was referring to. I really didn't intend to cause any offence and I'm truly sorry if I did. I hope that now I have removed it, I may be forgiven....pretty please? **flutters eyelashes**

 

[carebear]

Hey now. I wasn't offended. I was just pointing out the facts of life in a dispassionate manner to prevent misunderstandings and head off the kind of discussion that gets folks up in arms.

So, everybody lower your arms...lol

 

[BAZ]

Nah, I'm cool with the whole thing, and sure enough, sometimes kids ask too many awkward question!!

 

[GOK]

Cool! **adopts best Cartman voice** I lurve you guys! lol
