For some reason, the fall season
nostalgia reigns, hence the perfect timing for the release
of Lesley M.M. Blume's book
Ms. Blume is an author, journalist and cultural observer
with a column (of same name) at The Huffington Post
regarding all things nostalgic.
The book is at once, whimsical, charming and
very educational.
With her feet firmly planted in the present and
an acknowledgement to her love of
modern trappings, such as iPods, Spanx and Starbucks,
she celebrates hundreds of forgotten
objects, pastimes, curiosities recipes, words,
architectural works and personnas-
that could (or should) be brought back today.
Here are a few pictorial suggestions
as taken from her column...
Double features.
All white tennis clothes
Lovely leisurely evening walks
Good posture
Supper Clubs
Sunday roasts
