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.

a fabulous day indeed :)
I am new to the retro bloggy world and I'm having so much fun reading so many retro blogs. These cups are so awesome. Makes me wish I kept all the dishes my mom used when we were little. Great walk down memory lane, thanks for sharing!!
Whoah! I'd buy this in a heartbeat. AND.. would use the heck out of it in the winter!!
Very nice ;-). I normally try to go to flea markets 1-2 times per month... some of the stuff I've found are absolutely insane!
Thank you!

We have buildings downtown in our small city filled with estate sales. There's one building with at least 3-4 floors full of furniture, kitchen dishes and appliances and so much more. I'm so ready to go there again to find something retro. I'm almost certain I saw these kind of cups too.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined, very wonderful, Great article, i hope can know much information about it The Notebook Quotes, Netbooks Notebooks Laptops Computers Reviews , Free Very Funny Videos Clips on Youtube
