When I'm sixty, I'm just going to choose a sub-par dining establishment, and I'm taking my buying dollar there, to heck with all other options!

Eartha and I have a pact on corsages, so you have to be willing to sign up for wildly oversized faux flowers pinned to your collar as well. :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16842611749073935723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-56382438863585386132013-01-11T08:36:34.508-06:002013-01-11T08:36:34.508-06:00!!!!!!!!!

The two versions of Possessed (there's a Clark Gable one from the thirties' that has no relation whatsoever to the forties' one with Van Heflin, other than they both have JC in them) are in my top 10 Joan movies, uuuuugh, love it. All four of the ones you mentioned, actually, are tops-- I remember being so surprised at "The Damned Don't Cry" being as good as it was. I think I got in a box set with something else that was horrible, and I was ready to trade the thing back to the bookstore.

When I was little, my grammy and my great aunt would beg my parents to take them to Shoney's everytime they rolled through Nashville....like it was a big treat. Mind you- my Grammy was a restaurant owner back in the day and had been to her shares of fine eateries...but she LOVED shoneysAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16170910814856328134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978925481748522797.post-70325352796968433532013-01-10T13:41:31.382-06:002013-01-10T13:41:31.382-06:00The pomp'..........is awful.

Oh my Lord, Dorothy Lamour's hair. I know exactly what you mean--it's probably an insult to good taste but I can't stop looking at it.<br /><br />My great-grandmother took me to Braum's all the time and she would always order a Dr. Pepper float. Now, she just drinks a glass with half diet Dr Pepper and half water.

I would be happy to join you and Eartha in the bringing back of the white wedge slingbacks. Nashville will start to wonder what the deal is with all these people in white wedge slingbacks and it will be a new thing! Or just three people in orthopedic old lady shoes.
