I don't know New Look.

Do you like pillbox hats?

Probably a Panama hat. Or a workman's cap (like Bob Dylan used to wear in the early 1960s.

Same question.


Much of the "New Look" was based upon the premise of the "A-line."

Skirts tended to really flow in the wind back then.

The fifties were the last decade when people (of either sex) dressed well:



I LOVE polka dresses.



I mourn for men who wore proper, brimmed hats and full length coats.

That's a "New Look" dress.

I wear dresses frequently, and I have one rather similar to that.

I don't know why women think jeans are more comfortable.


Do you think you will ever go in a flying car?

I used to think, because of the Jetsons, that we would have flying cars by the year 2000.

No dice!

I believe, maybe, in 20 years or so, that the rich might have flying cars. Sort of like the billion-dollar moon missions planned for select people.


Same question.

I still wear a trilby whenever I'm in the city - and a flat cap in the countryside. I get some good-natured, amused looks from people, doing so at my age. Whenever I meet someone who can remember when men my age still dressed well, it's so cheering to see what it means to them.

I do like pillbox hats, though I think they're a little too discreet. I think berets and brimmed hats go best on women. Kraftie will probably tell me that a beret is a pillbox - somehow.

Given that most people are incapable of driving road cars well (myself included), I hope not.

lolllll ^

My grandmother carried a 1950's train case when she flew. I still have it.

Should I carry it to travel? I love it.

Some men could still dress in the 70s. Kraftie's fellow New-Yorker Kojak always struck me as being the foremost of them:



Although if he'd attended a British boarding school he'd have been told to leave his bottom waistcoat button undone.

What's your favourite tree?

Willow trees and wuthered fir trees. (I can never pick just one).

What's your favourite orchestra instrument (to hear)?

Probably the violin (though I can't be in a depressed mood). And/or the piano or harpsichord.

Same question.
