No matter what your taste in fashion might be, you're certain to remember a number of these dresses, the people who wore them and made them famous. It's hard to choose favorites, but I have a fondness for Julia Roberts in Valentino from 1982, Princess Di's wedding gown (equally striking in person!), Kate Hudson in Versace in 2003, and the four gorgeous photos of Sarah Jessica Parker. Swoon!
What would you take? I still don't know, even though I've been contemplating it since I was about seven years old. My possessions have changed since then but my values haven't and I would be hard-pressed to know what I'd want to grab. Seeing what the people of The Burning House selected might have helped me a little bit, but I'm still revising my own list.
The makers of Unhappy Hipsters have created It's Lonely in the Modern World. The captions they provide for these perfectly stylized photographs and the snarky remarks about living as a modernist are simply spot on!
When I see windmills, I am filled with warm memories. They are a symbol of my Dutch heritage and the fields around my grandparents' farm had them. I was delighted to read American Windmills to learn more about the stately icons. I didn't know until recently that many were made in Michigan (alongside Daisy air rifles at the Plymouth Iron Wind Mill Company) and I also didn't realize that you used to be able to order them from the Sears Catalog--just like our house!
