I just love the way you are so artistic with the typewriter. I am so glad I found your blog when it was listed as a Blog of Note. You deserve a lot of congratulations for all your creative work here.
Science is quite romantic, Mike. It's math that takes all the magic out of it.
Thanks, Kathy, and I'm glad you're here!
Strikethru, I'd love to wear cocktail dresses every single day. And gloves. Love em.
A long time ago I ordered a box of ephemera from a seller on Ebay. Can't tell you how much fun I've had with it - especially these cut-out ads. I'm guessing this one was for underarm deodorant.
Oh, love this, Monda! Retro make-up is back, BTW, not that some of us ever gave it up. Andy Rooney once charmingly said that women aren't grown-up enough to wear red lipstick till they're over 40. I agree. Which means you and I can wear all the red lipstick we want now! And I have the red patent-leather peep-toe high heels to go with it...
Monda, I'll make you a deal on behalf of my gender: you ladies go back to wearing opera gloves and dresses and retro makeup, and for our part, us men will don fancy hats that we will tip when you go by. I might even be able to talk everyone else into bow ties.
Well, I kinda set you up for that one. I already wear a hounds-tooth trilby when I am out and about(desert sun+Irish skin=NO), so you ladies had better pony up.
...an odd little collection of vintage typewriters, ephemera, and tasty typecasts for collectors and the vintage-obsessed. If you haven't checked your attic lately, maybe you should. There might be mechanical gold up there.

Bending of waves indeed. Never before has science seemed so romantic.

Where did you find this charming couple?
No one dresses like that anymore.

Andy Rooney is a typewriter man as well, so he's got several crowns right about now.
I'm ready for opera gloves to make a comeback.

I am once again envious of your ephemera, not to mention your creativity!

When Speegle or JVC or somebody invents a new type-writer or type-casting trick, we all rush out and try it, which I hope they accept as a compliment.
When you do something stunning like this (and you've used this format before) we all just stare. I hope you take that as the highest compliment.
Excellent work, Monda.

Ebay, LFP, Ebay. The hunt is half the fun.
Thanks n00b and William!
Oh, Duffy, you're too sweet to me.

It reminds me of my first love and the first time we made a true connection.

Ah, the science and light of love, Rochelle.
Mike, it's a deal. Men with hats (not ball caps, HATS) are a dying breed. I miss them.

I really enjoyed browsing through your blog. Please keep up the amazing work.

Oh, Mike. Bestillmyheart.
