A Road Trip?

I feel like taking a road trip...wanna go with me?
Let's take the green Caddy!

or maybe the red one...

Don't forget your sunglasses!

We'll cruise down Route 66...

until it ends at the beach. Then we'll cool off in the waves...

and relax in the warm sand...

Doesn't that sound like the bee's knees? Now who's with me?

(All pix are from Harper's Bazaar, May 1956...a great issue with Suzy Parker on the cover...that's also her in that Foster Grant ad. I'll be putting this issue up on eBay next week!)

Viva Las Vegas, Part 1 ~ The Cars

Last weekend I went to Viva Las Vegas for the first time!!!  For those of you who don't know, Viva is a big multi-day party, officially titled a "Rockabilly Weekender". It's four days of rockabilly music, hot rod cars, vintage fashion and tons more. I'd been dying to go for years and this year we managed to get out there, but just for one day, because by the time my hubby knew if he could have the time off from work all the four-day tickets were sold out :-(
But we went anyway!!! And had a fantastic time!

Here are some pix from the car show:

me with the official Viva hot rod

I love green

my dream setup! Even the color is awesome

I honestly did not crank the saturation on this pic! It's that bright!

this guy was pinstriping, live...

If there was a Hot Rod Barbie, she'd drive this!

Stay tuned for Viva Part 2!
