1. Gosh...

How did I miss the preliminaries?

[niyad]

15. I just checked. Apparently they were posted on Friday.

[2naSalit]

18. Oh well...

At least I caught the finals!

[femmedem]

2. They're all so good!

I haven't voted yet because I want to vote for all of them.

Kudos, everyone!

4. The old singer sewing machine brings back memories for me, when my grandma would do some sewing on

things that needed repairs, sewing-wise. I was so fascinated w/ her sewing machine, I have it now, won't get rid of it, it means too much for me, memory wise. I should give this to my sister and her family, so it won't get discarded when I eventually pass. But, these machines are not exactly million-dollar collectibles. I'll ask her first, maybe some of her younger grandkids might want (it was her grandma too).

Love going down memory lane. Thanks for posting, U-hermit!

8. I grew up in the clothing business.

I grew up working in a huge tuxedo rental company in the sixties. Our tailoring department had several vintage machines. They were workhorses that just kept going year after year

9. Goes to show you that some things are just built so durable and long-lasting! Just because it's old doesn't mean it's

no good. I bet you have quite a few memories of those days...

20. Those were wild times.

We had sixty thousand tuxedos and rented them in fourteen states. I learned to work my butt off at an early age. I also learned to appreciate fine tailoring.

[SWBTATTReg]

21. Nice! We had (kind of still too), in STLMO, in the city itself, a huge Tailor's area (tons of shops, not as many

now), actually on Washington Avenue, a fairly large street in downtown STLMO, loaded w/ tailor shops, etc. It's not as busy now as it used to be, I guess w/ so many places allowing casual wear instead of business suits for employees who worked downtown.

5. This is a tough one; they are all worthy of winning.

11. The "New Mexico crossroads" car has been stripped, and I wonder ...

whether it was abandoned by an "Okie" family heading to California. And I wonder how they coped. with the loss of a working vehicle, and how they fared after that. I've just finished reading two novels about that westward migration, so I know what they encountered in California: more capitalism set among fruit orchards and cotton fields, just like the capitalism that foreclosed on their farms in the dust bowl.
