The records came in a 24-page full-color Giant Storybook Album, which was the closest way for children to experience the film’s story and songs before the age of home video. The recordings included the story and music just as on the screen and with the original Disney voices, including Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter, Sterling Holloway as the Cheshire Cat, Jerry Cologna as the March Hare, and Kathryn Beaumont as Alice.
Several other classic Disney properties were available as RCA Victor Children's Records, including “Snow White,” “Peter and the Wolf,” “Pinocchio,” “Dumbo,” “Johnny Appleseed,” “Pecos Bill,” “Bambi” and “Cinderella.”

Over a thousand Chicagoans, from all walks of life and all parts of the city, came together at Millennium Park to perform "Crowd Out" by Davind Lang.
Although a bit chaotic in the beginning, once the leaders of each of the small groups that formed the whole got things in sync, it became a beautiful performance and a moving experience.
I came upon this event purely by accident and it took me a while to figure out what was going on.
Once surrounded by all these people, I was pretty much stuck, so you see some of the same faces over and over again.
Nothing good can come from this, it's like when Frankenstein saw the little girl throw flower petals into the water.
The 1952 Ford introduced several notable advancements compared to earlier models:
•Engine Upgrade: The "Mileage Maker" straight-6 engine replaced the older L-head straight-6, offering improved performance with 101 horsepower. Ford’s high-compression “Strato-Star” V-8 was stepped up to 110 horsepower.
•Design Enhancements: It featured a curved one-piece windshield, a redesigned grille with a single center "bullet," and new trunk hinges that prevented crushing the contents. A lower center of gravity along with redesigned springs and shock absorbers gave a smoother ride.
•Interior Improvements: The dashboard included a "flight-style" control panel, suspended pedals, and standard gauges for voltmeter, gas, temperature, and oil pressure.
•Model Line Reshuffle: The base model was renamed "Mainline," the mid-level "Customline," and the top-tier "Crestline," which included options like the "Sunliner" convertible and "Victoria" hardtop.
These updates made the 1952 Ford more modern and user-friendly.
This issue of Life Magazine from June 2, 1972 features beautiful Raquel Welch is on the cover, with her derby jersey, her skates, and not much else!
The cover says "Raquel, On Skates as a Derby Demon." The article profiles her role as a roller derby "demon" in the film "The Kansas City Bomber." There are several photos of Raquel and her teammates in the movie.
In addition to the article about Raquel, there are several noteworthy vintage ads in this magazine, including ads for The World Book Encyclopedia; retro cars from Detroit including the Hornet, Gremlin and Matador; and cool vintage Polaroid Land Cameras.

More photos for that story - not sure if all of them were in the magazine (it should be easy on the Life website to find and link to all of them as well as find all the photos by any photographer as well as a bio - they should have gone with flickr rather than google)

This story mentions this cover at Potbelly's:
"Framed on the wall at Potbelly Sandwich Works is a Life Magazine cover depicting a college-aged couple holding hands in a loveseat, looking endearingly into each other's eyes with an alluring caption that reads, "Co-Ed Dorms: an intimate revolution on campus." The faded cover ran November 20, 1970, when college students were protesting an unpopular war and Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" was the top song on the airwaves. Now, nearly 40 years later, when college students are again protesting an unpopular war (though with less vigor) and Akon's "Don't Matter" dominates radio play, another intimate revolution may be hitting the campus.

This is the interior of our trailer. People love all the little touches, like the Red Ryder poster and Coca~Cola decals. We named the trailer Daisy after the rifle and I added Valentine because we got her on Valentine's Day weekend. It all works somehow.
Back in the day these guys used to say to each other.."Smog?..Air Pollution?, that might be what you pantywaists call it, but all I see is, *cough* profits and, *cough* *cough* industry *wheeze* moving forward"!
I love little details.
I'm particularly intrigued by the birthday cake (detail of the cake). Is that supposed to be Charlie Brown? And if so, is that supposed to be Snoopy? And why is there no one else sitting at the table yet?
I wanted to know which issue of Life magazine appears beneath the coffee table at the far right. It's this one with Tricia Nixon, the President's daughter, on the cover.
On the back, someone wrote "3/6/71", "Reeves St Hse", "Matt M. 2nd B'Day", and "Roger M., one of Chuck's sisters." I tried looking up streets named Reeves in Oregon and there is a residential street here in Portland. No way to confirm or deny.
In March 2010, Matt M. will be 41 years old. I hope he's doing well, wherever he is.
One of the photographs I found (and purchased for 50 cents each) at SMUT (So Many Unique Treasures), a small store off of East Burnside in Portland. There were two old suitcases full of these photos and each contained hundreds.

Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944) was a highly popular illustrator for major national magazines during the first quarter of the 20th century. He created elegant pen and ink illustrations that were evocative of American life, his most popular creation being the glamorous and independent Gibson Girl. He first established her popularity in “Life” magazine in the two years 1899-1900, creating almost weekly images illustrating romantic and other relationships.
