And do you think that perhaps the bad taste in the picture with the cigarettes is that she has helped herself to one first and has it hanging out of her mouth? Not sure about smoking etiquette in the 1950s, but I'd assume that usually you offer first before taking?Miss Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06952933650748631441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-88622429931480584342011-07-29T14:50:12.360-05:002011-07-29T14:50:12.360-05:00More picture perfect vintage parties and ever hila...More picture perfect vintage parties and ever hilarious vintage etiquette! If I were to write the dialogue for the "Bad Taste" picture it would go something like this: "So Jim, am I correct in assuming these are your cuff links then? I mean, they aren't Madge's husband's, that's for sure. I gave you these for our wedding anniversary Jim! So, tell me you two, just what were HIS cuff links doing in YOUR bathroom cabinet!?!" and as the advice goes, if the hostess makes an embarrassing assumption, its best to just ignore it! Ahahahaha! OK, just one other thing....egg salad and hot chocolate? Served at 11pm? What were these folk's smoking> That sounds less like a planned menu and more like a munchies induced dinner!Amber Von Feltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893607211762877902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-89470298652070458142011-07-29T14:10:05.526-05:002011-07-29T14:10:05.526-05:00I love this post!
