Betty's Attic: It Went With The Wind!
http://bettysattic.blogspot.com/2008/06/it-went-with-wind.html
Monday, June 30, 2008. It Went With The Wind! June 30th, 1936:. Gone With The Wind. I’m every bit the romantic, but I cannot think of. Gone With The Wind. Without picturing Carol Burnett in her curtain rod dress. It cracked me up as a nine year old and it cracks me up now (“I saw it in the window and I just had to have it”). Once I was old enough to understand the “real” movie, I was blown away. The bombastic characters and ragged war-torn South left a deep impression. As sweet and go...Throughout the ye...

Betty's Attic: Start Your Engines!
http://bettysattic.blogspot.com/2008/06/start-your-engines_09.html
Monday, June 9, 2008. Summer Sun and Racing Fun. Americans love cars. From the drag races of the 1950s to the full-on phenomenon of NASCAR, it’s a hobby for some and an obsession for many. With the gas crisis, however, many of us are opting for less sporty cars these days. While it feels great to save money and help the environment, I have to admit I miss the days when Mr. Betty’s Attic and I rode around in his souped-up 1967 Shelby GT 350 Mustang. To remind him he can have another one when he retires!

Monday, April 28, 2008. Old Toys Are New Again! Sharing Memories With Our Kids. When I watch my kids play video games full of speeding cars and blaring guitars, one thought races through my head:. My childhood toys were so much friendlier! Luckily, I live and work in a gigantic retro toy chest here at. So I decided to try a little experiment: I pulled out a few gems from my not-so-distant past and passed them on to my kids to see their reactions. First, I hoisted over a soft cuddly Teddy Ruxpin. Although...

Wednesday, September 26, 2007. The Generation They Called “X”. Nirvana’s Nevermind Released Sept. 24th, 1991. There are certain things that make your Aunt Betty feel her age: buying a nice sauvignon blanc and not being asked for ID; accepting that “misses” fashions are never as cool as “20-something” fashions; not knowing who most of the bands on MTV are these days (causing laughter and ridicule from my kids).and the list goes on! Because it influenced everything you’re hearing today. The 1964 Rankin/Bas...

Monday, February 25, 2008. Happy Birthday, Larry Gelbart! Co-Creator And Master Funny Man. I love to imagine the pitch meeting to turn Robert Altman’s 1970 Korean War film,. Into a weekly sitcom:. PRODUCERS: “It’ll be hilarious! STUDIO HEAD: “But isn’t it about. Comedy gold it was, and it went on to become one of the best-loved TV shows of all time.

Thursday, November 29, 2007. Have Yourself A Merry Little Kitchen! Fire Up The Oven! We’re Going Retro! Need another reason why the fifties rocked? Harvey Wallbanger Cake, anyone? Maybe some sparkling 7UP cake? I discovered long ago that baking is highly therapeutic! There's something about rolling around in dough that melts stress away and what better way to bake than with the Pillsbury Best Of The Bake-Off Cookbook. Bowl when no one’s looking! But why stop at dessert? That’s what’s so great...Ladle som...

Friday, December 28, 2007. Celebrate The Super ‘70s! Go Ahead—You Know You Love It! As my kids text their friends about what they hope they’re getting for Christmas, Mr. Betty’s Attic is putting the finishing touches on the. There’s something about The ‘70s that makes me grin. Maybe it’s the memories of feathered hair, polyester pants, disco balls, and. But I feel sorry for kids who don’t know what it was like to live through that fabulous decade! Dwith John Schneider from. The Dukes Of Hazzard. I used t...
