As the hemlines rose: a U.S. Airlines case study

US Airline stewardess uniforms

I noticed this image on my Tumblr feed: a photo of U.S. Airlines flight attendants - and make no mistake, they were definitely called stewardesses then - displaying uniforms from the 1940s into the 1970s. It'd be interesting to see the intervening 30-odd years, too.

Igloo cake Whether or not we actually go in, a walk by Bistro Sofia will usually involve a brief stop to see what cakes are on display in the window. Always a nice mood-enhancer!

Frosty leaves I'm helping myself to this picture, which Martha snapped this morning. There was frost overnight - enough, for the first time this season, to haul out the scraper for the car windows. (Well, some of them. One side had a frosty buildup, the other - exposed just a bit to sunlight by then - did not.)
