It is my favorite kind of blog. Personal enough that you can glean the interests and obsessions of the blogger, but not so personal that you feel like your eavesdropping through someone’s kitchen window. It stakes a clear “domain” — retro lifestyle — but wanders freely, loping this way and that across the patch of land within that chunk of intellectual terrain. My highest compliment is that RetroModGirl manages to find idiosyncratic approaches to very accessible topics, in ways that gives retro “O.G.s” and retro nOObs something to savor. Other retro-themed blogs chat about MAD MEN and 50’s stoves and the like, but do other blogs show you the mansion that Magic Chef built?
RetroModGirl gets my “Green Monster” award for a blog that stirs feelings I say are admiration, is really just jealousy."

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.
