- I am a professional woman living in an antiques-filled foursquare bungalow with my fiance and his two teenagers. I am obsessed with mod design and all things retro, vintage, and kitsch; I've got the lustroware cannisters and pink elephant martini shakers to prove it. This is my take on the best and worst of mod design, leavened with a pinch of snark and my commentary on this insanity called life...

Here"s a Handy Little Tip...
Aren"t We All?
Follow Me to My Dream Kitchen...
I had the worst nightmare...
The Diner Song by Martin Sexton
You might have seen one out in Minnesota
Or maybe down by the sea in Sarasota
But they were made back in Worcester Mass
Of aluminum and bakelite and glass
Like a locomotive they were streamlined
And the blue prints were drawn up from a dream of mine
Slap 'em up put 'em on the train
Out to Michigan up to Maine
You may find a diner down in Georgia or
Carolina off the twenty by the Piggly Wiggly
In the country out of Waynsboro
Or when it's getting late and rainy out in New York State
You hang a louie off the thru-way
And you go and grab yourself a cheeseburger
At the little gem diner off the six niner
Diner my shiny shiny love
In the night you're all I'm thinking of
Diner my shiny shiny love
The cruiser pulls in where the trooper's always stop
As we dine over the chrome and formica table top
The cashier she always squints
By the gum and the bowl of mints
She's tapping her toe
To the Dean Martin on the consolette
Booth service and a cigarette we're loving it so
Side of fries a dollar
Or the haddock plate two ninety five
A rootbeer float a pepsi
And be sure to save some room for some apple pie
Better make it a-la-mode
Chorus
Dean Martin god rest his soul
Talkin' to me from the cereal bowl
There's a couple from the show me state
Knockin' back a little meatloaf plate
Diner my shiny shiny love.

He"s not kidding!

Uh, creepy. And I love, love, love the 50s. But I think they are cult members with that whistling!
"Pure and good"! Ha! Pure sugar, maybe! Although I was raised on Kool-Aid, and I turned out just fine....
I think it's one part creepy, one part cute.. :)
aww thats cute!
Found you on SITS.... It's creepy that they say "you can pleasure your kids"... weird!
Cool AND creepy! :)
I vote creepy. I was never a kool aid kid and find it repulsive as an adult. Plus its always makes me think of cults... though the one with Jim Jones was with flavor aid and not kool aid.
It's not creepy to me. A bit weird maybe.... thanks for sharing!
my dad used to call me kimmykoolaid
Well, that's it. I am creeped out even more by the koolaid guy and yet I'm craving some now.
