Pictures for Chapters 9 and 10

Fashion in 1942! And I'll post chapters 9 and 10 as soon as ff.net gets its act together. I am very aggravated this morning.

Fabulous shoes and summer dresses from the 1942 Sears Catalog

The shoes!




The January 1942 McCall's

Susan's Little Black Dress



Evening gowns:






And... really, the British 1942 Vogue magazine. A woman wearing a rationed silk dress... with dinosaurs. It's Mary Anning Russell, except with dark hair, in a dress, and with a handbag



Correction -- those aren't dinosaurs. Those are large, prehistoric mammals. They are quadrupeds and that's definitely a mammalian head. I'd guess an indricothere or giant ground sloth. The smaller, four legged one may be an early equine. Errm... yeah

Geez, chapter 9, finally

FF.net is broken. Maybe it will be fixed by the time I get Chapter 10 to upload.

Oh, and for the record, I am completely freaked out by the NFFR Award nominations. Blithering, terrified, and moronic. Yeah, that about covers it.

Off to buy a bowling ball, frozen Butterball, which, according to Cooks Illustrated (the Consumer Reports of cooking magazines) delivered the best results short of those heirloom birds at 3 dollars a pound, plus shipping and handling. The food safety experts agree that you want a bird that was slaughtered and hard frozen a few months ago when the processing lines were slow and that those heirloom birds might be coming from farms whose hearts, but not food safety heads, are in the right place. No brining or salting a Butterball though.
