And of course stiff hairspray and lots of petticoats.<br />SamSam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-7296866069322362952013-07-21T06:56:44.015-04:002013-07-21T06:56:44.015-04:00My husband has talked about visiting the World'...My husband has talked about visiting the World's Fair many times in NY as a boy and all of the interesting exhibits. So glad to see the old images for myself. Southern Comfort is indeed a southern favorite and I love your collection of glasses.<br />Sam Sam Hoffer / My Carolina Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15358601435867848753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-29116768461214107692013-06-29T09:29:32.146-04:002013-06-29T09:29:32.146-04:00I just love those old images.

I like the fact that people cared how they looked. It lends to a much better sense of self. <br />I bet your Aunt Lou was fun. I had an Aunt Lou too. She was beautiful.<br />Blessings, CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04945906301035526440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-54527266107363263212013-06-26T02:21:45.239-04:002013-06-26T02:21:45.239-04:00What a wonderful nightcap for me, T.W.

As kids we didn't get to do very much especially if it cost money but oh the Fair my parents splurged when they took us there and I still remember that feeling of awe.<br /><br />I often wish to myself that we still had World's Fairs like those days. I don't think they should ever go out of style:) <br /><br />I don't have the glasses but I do have a booklet that they gave out at the fair. And yes, there is a future 1964 World's Fair post in my future.<br /><br />As for Southern Comfort, it was the drink of choice for those who "celebrated" in the school yard. I was never allowed out that late:) I should give it a try though. I am more than of age to drink now.<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing...<br /><br />So funny my two words to comment are Made Ted B Mod:) Or is it I'm very sleepy, lol...~~louise~~https://www.blogger.com/profile/07335196139849995706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-83468837082265152672013-06-25T10:44:59.624-04:002013-06-25T10:44:59.624-04:00Those of us who are old enough to have lived the l...Those of us who are old enough to have lived the life shown in the pamphlet especially enjoy posts like this.

But I'd much prefer mine filled with gin and tonic. :)<br />When my mother passed away, we found an entire drawer full of gorgeous leather gloves, all lengths and colors. My daughter took most of them, don't know if she's ever worn them or not. I do remember wearing white cotton gloves as a child.

My recent blog post about the East Hampton Gourmet Food mentions Kate Pratt who was influenced by the Food Pavilions, in particular the Indian pavilion. I vaguely remember my mom having a glass or two from the fair. I need to ask her about them, great post. Imagine being here when they open up the time capsules! :)laura lucianohttp://outeastfoodie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-85930504592288612102013-06-24T10:37:49.926-04:002013-06-24T10:37:49.926-04:00That's hysterical. The first thing I thought ...That's hysterical. The first thing I thought was what's with the white gloves! Must be a southern thing because even in 64, white gloves were a bit OF. Those glasses are just perfect. I am very fond of a bit of a Chicago worlds fair from the 30's that I have from my grandparents. Not a glass but a deco key thing. It's hung on the side of one bookcase or another in my various houses for as long as I can remember (no, I wasn't quite around for that fair quite yet but my mother was!).Deana Sidneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908407077861396161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30577630.post-30656266092454703162013-06-23T20:44:44.463-04:002013-06-23T20:44:44.463-04:00Too funny - I found a set of those glasses while w...Too funny - I found a set of those glasses while wandering the Hell's Kitchen Flea Market a few years ago. They were for the World Fair in Seattle and I bought them for my friend who had just relocated there. I thought they were very cool!
