A leer to which I respond with a deprecating moue.
It's cold - gloves or scarf?

Alright. Now you lost me. lol
Well, a leer is "an oblique, suggestive sidelong look or grin"
A Moue is "a pouting expression Used to convey annoyance or distaste"
Ann Pennington or Marilyn Miller?

EXACTLY!
Both gloves and scarf. I enjoy neither cold hands nor a cold nape of the neck.

Saturday Evening Post, although Liberty had Princess Alexandra Kropotkin, who was always good for a laugh.

Time, because it was funnier. Henry Luce was quite the wag in his youth.

Well. Luce's odd diction may have been amusing, but I always found his stuff to be lacking in substance when compared with the work of Albert Shaw, who's essentially conservative Progressivism is just up my alley. Of course Shaw was of a previous generation, and his prose can seem a bit pedantic to a modern, whilst Luce and Briton Haden had a fresh and modern effect which has, however dated more than a bit, I think. That said, Shaw who was born in the late 'Fifties tended to run a one man show, and by 1923, when Time magazine came out his stuff must have seemed terribly old-fashioned.
Judge, just because they published "The Waiting Room at Dang-Dang" and "How to Play Phumgrum-La!"
Nat Novick or Cookie Fairchild?

Coney Island, Cedar Point
I cannot judge the West Coast parks as I've never been to them.
As a youngster, I always preferred Playland ("in easy to reach ROCKAWAY BEACH!") to Coney Island when visiting my aunt and uncle in Astoria. My favorite park at home (Cleveland) was Chippewa Lake out in Medina, OH, for Euclid Beach closed before I was old enough to appreciate it, and Puritas Springs was shuttered a few years before I was born.
New York Central or The Pennsylvania Railroad?

After eating at Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles the other day I'd have to say fried chicken.
Remix or Aris Allen shoes?
