A Kiss On the Hand May Be Quite Continental...

Growing up, my sister and I probably didn't watch the "usual" children movies. Sure, I saw all of the Disney movies, but I never watched "Ghost Busters" or "Weird Science". I grew up watching "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" and "Gone With The Wind". Those movies are some of my favorite memories of my childhood. My sister and I use to watch Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell sing and dance across the screen and we would re-in act it for my parents or neighbors or anyone that would watch.

Last night, I finally (FINALLY!) coerced John into watching Gentlemen Prefer Blondes ( against his will). It reminded me last night, that there used to be a time when women always wore dresses, hats, and gloves. Men dressed in suits and hats on a daily basis. Men always opened doors and ladies were treated, well, like, ladies. These clothes are fabulous. I had to wipe a little drool away. I want to be able to wear gloves on a daily basis. I look at what some of these girls nowadays are wearing... Chuck Taylors? Baggy jeans? No Thanks... I would much rather live in a Jackie-O time.
