HEY! Why are you giving out my number, DB?? It's supposed to be unlisted!

Benny Holiday, my dear lad, if we are not favored with a full length photo of you in this suit I'll be extremely upset. You look splendid!

Ah. An excellent question. :offtopic: *Professor Guise* As anyone who has ever trained and supervised groups of wide-eyed young troops knows, one of the hardest things to drill into them is Attention to Detail. Sense of Urgency and Military Bearing are fairly easy, but getting people...

If you take a closer picture of the buttons (next to a size reference like a ruler or a quarter), I may be able to reasonably match them with buttons in better condition. I have jars and jars of buttons of all colors, sizes, and descriptions.

Good gracious, I'll never work up the courage to post a picture here! Such lovely ladies, so much style ... ! :D

:offtopic: That's your BACKYARD?! You, sir, have a backyard that begs to be played in. Are you overrun by youngsters?

You're getting married at the Christmans Story House?? Neat! I didn't know that was preserved! Hmmm ... I think red buttons would be a bit too much red in the middle of things, and would detract from the fabulosity* of the suit itself. I prefer the cream buttons. If that's you in the...

It's Miss Dash, because I believe in salt, you see, and am therefore ineligible; I'm quite confident in it, although it's lost some self-esteem in recent years and is in need of reassurance. Never fear, good sir, there is no need to thank me for the escort, as I serve a greater purpose from the...

Ann Sothern? I won't offer an opinion, but I *will* shamelessly take the opportunity to show off a photo of Ann Sothern I just happen to have hanging on my wall. It's from an original negative, and was a snazzy gift from a charming gentleman with outstanding taste. For your reference:

MrNewportCustom, I'll be glad to escort you to the beginning, but I've come round from the end to more thoroughly examine the middle, which seems to be misplaced, so I'll get back to you after I've found it. I suspect Carter of putting it into the pocket of his Sunday suit last Thursday, but...

Rations! Splendid. I have the Last Loaf of Wonder Bread in Southern CA!

I didn't like that particularly. The lyrics were something less than imaginative, but it's not as though I'm an artist and can write anything better. They were racy, and that's not a problem ... plenty of ~Golden Era lyrics were racy, dealing with sex and drugs. After all, when Minnie the...

Agreed.

You call that battle dress, private?! Blouse those pants! And tell me why I'm looking at bootlaces roaming free in the wind? DROP AND GIVE ME 42! MOVE! *blink* Wait, I'm not supposed to do that anymore ... cool pics, Technonut! Where's this wilderness? ;)

That looks vaguely like a comic book promotion...as though the Batmobile is about to be auctioned off or the like. I doubt it, but it's odd.
