Ebay Weekender
It's soon time to bare the legs. A wonderful selection of vintage skirts awaits. We are too young to remember, but there was once a time when baring any part of a leg was considered scandalous!

Hey Frank! Hey Sam! Hey Dino Martino.....
HEY TOM COLLINS, HAIL THAT SIDECAR FOR ME AND WATCH OUT FOR THE GRASSHOPPER IN THE CHAMPAGNE COCKTAIL!
To celebrate a milestone birthday, I had a party with a martini theme. By the end of the evening, there were many happy, giggly faces and the remnants of some pretty interesting cocktail mixes. What the Rat Pack made cool many decades ago has re-emerged in a big way. Those sexy girls in the City knew how to live it up the Cosmo way.
In our ever-changing disposable world, it’s nice to see the art of the cocktail has somehow made a comeback. We’re no longer satisfied with just the pop of a cork or the fizzy twist of a cap to tantalize the palette.
“That’s Amore” (abridged version)
When the mood hits your brain like a runaway train,That’s a cocktail,When the world seems to shineLike you’ve had too much wine, that’s a cocktail,
Ears will ring, ting-a-ling-a-lingTing-a-ling-a-ling, you’ll cry, “no more vodka”Head will pound, tippy-tippy-tay,Tippy-tippy-tay, like a polka
When you stagger in a dream,But you know you’re not dreaming no sireee,Scuzza me, but you’ll see,Back in bed there for me,No more cocktails….
How about these outfits for your next martini party? All now available.

BARBIE OR NOT TO BARBIE, THAT IS THE QUESTION
You’ve come a long way baby! It’s just amazing to see the stark contrast between one of the original models called “Evening Splendor Barbie” and today’s “Little Black Dress Barbie”. The older model looks modest and ready for a respectable evening out. While the current day little minx looks ready for something a lot more racy!
Why was it that as girls, we were so drawn to Barbie and her beautiful dresses? And once we got her home from the store, the first thing we did was remove all her clothing?! You can laugh, but I know that many of you out there have done it! Were we trying to see how the outfit was constructed, or were we just eager for an anatomy lesson? Whether we played with them clothed or otherwise, our fascination with Barbie has not waned over the years since her debut in 1959. She has become the ever-changing reflection of women throughout the decades. She was first a proud housewife with her pearls and values. Today she is a sexy icon who is confident inside and out. She doesn’t need Ken to keep her warm at night, but welcomes his visits from time to time.
Barbie’s demure dress from that inaugural year looks fitted but loose and hangs well below her knees. We could capture her feminine form without it being openly displayed. She wasn’t just a play toy but a miniature representation of young girls’ modest aspirations and good manners. Have we strayed too far from those lofty ideals? Or are they out of place in today’s society?
You be the judge.
Other vintage barbie items now available!
