CLASSICS ILLUSTRATED:
A CULTURAL HISTORY
(....)
[William B. ] Jones charts the fortunes of Russian Jewish immigrant Albert Kantner (1897-1973), who in 1941 conceived of Classic Comics as self-contained abridgments of a literary work into a single comic book. To produce the first issue, The Three Musketeers, Kantner and his partners gambled $8,000 for 250,000 copies; they tripled their investment. From these modest beginnings, Kantner built his family's lucrative Gilberton publishing empire.

Bowling shirts. Spinster skirts. Chunky glasses. Worn to classes! Saddle shoes-er. Who's a loser? Elmer Fudd. Dude, not dud.
High-water pants. High-style kids. Haven't you heard? Nerd's the word.
Ten years ago, any kid who dressed like a geek, a wimp, a loser, dweeb, wuss or pinhead was one. Didn't know squat about looking good. Hopelessly hip-less. Totally out of it. Completely clueless.
Today, the Forrest Gump/Bill Gates/Lisa Loeb look-alikes starting to pop up in school hallways and suburban mallways are some of the coolest of the cool, skating breezily along the cutting edge-- (and etc.)
Geek chic Holy pocket protector! For some kids, the nerd look is the way to be; A geeky guide to cheeky chic Dresses: A-line '60s polyester shifts; plaid, gingham or mini-floral housedresses.
Shoes: Sweetly dorky Hush Puppies; saddle shoes; high-top athletic shoes; running shoes from the five-and-dime; "gramps" wing tips or oxfords.
Tops: Plaid wool or corduroy jackets with fleece collar and cuffs; Perry Como, argyle or striped button-front sweaters, preferably in acrylic;
polyester shirts or blouses with contrast stitching; Hawaiian shirts; Kramer-style zip-front tops; '70s blazers.
Bottoms: High-water pegged pants; bell-bottoms; drooping denims that drag the sidewalk; slim, flat-front slacks worn well below the equator;
elastic-waist skirts made of cheesy polyester; plaid accordian-pleat skirts.
Accessories: Chunky black eyeglasses held together with white adhesive tape; cat's-eye secretary glasses; patchwork wool or crocheted neck scarves;
plastic pocket protectors-- (and etc.)

Very recently I have been seeing the photos of the Sturges House with short blurbs saying that it was soon to be auctioned, but I never knew that it had been owned for many decades (since 1967) by actor Jack Larson (the 'real' Jimmy Olson!) or that he had died in September aged 87.
Thank you so much, Lee! :-* :-* :-*

WHO KNEW
SUPERMAN'S JIMMY OLSON LIVED IN A
FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT MASTERPIECE?
By Trey Speegle
January 24, 2016
Jack Larson, who played Jimmy Olson on the ’50s Adventures of Superman TV series, was a gay man with apparently world-class taste. Larson, who just passed in September and his late partner James Bridges (who died 25 years ago) are donating their art collection and this small but perfect Frank Lloyd Wright house in Brentwood to an auction to benefit the Bridges/Larson Foundation which provides scholarships to high-school graduates who plan to major in film, TV, or theatre.

Completed in 1939, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Sturges House has a dramatic cantilevered design with just 2 bedrooms and one bathroom but the master architect’s use of the surrounding landscape tricks the eye into believing the brick-and-concrete house is larger than it is. Part of it hovers over the hillside lot, making the home seem as if it were floating when viewed from the road below. There’s a large living-dining room with a fireplace and a basement that could be as more bedrooms. But the 17,000-square-foot lot is smaller than most in multi-million dollar homes in nearby Beverly Hills.
The couple also spent decades collecting modern art, including works by Alex Katz, David Hockney, Don Bachardy, Andy Warhol, Richard Prince, Alberto Giacometti, Claes Oldenburg, Sam Francis and others which will also be up for auction. Wright-designed, as well as other furniture from house is being sold separately and this auction marks the first time Los Angeles Modern Auctions is auctioning a home as art. LAMA founder Peter Loughrey says the Sturges house offers,
”an opportunity to live inside a work of art.”
A spectacular house no doubt, but not many people who can spend $3 million on a house, want to live in 1200 square feet. The Larson/Bridges auction is February 21 at Los Angeles Modern Auction. You can find out more here:

Oh, that's interesting!

I don't ordinarily care for modern architecture (with some exceptions), but the interior of that house looks really neat.

Happy holidays John. Miss you. :-*
