Just wanted to remind everyone what "cool" really looked like!

 Notice that there are no sagging pants...

  1. Totally no sagging pants. Very hot men!

    Sophia Loren: I think of fondly for her comment about getting older and needing to gain weight so that you continue to look beautiful. Something about being old and boney. I wish I could find that quote!

  6. OK, Cat. Top favorites from Ella would be Paul Newman, Cary Grant, and Audrey Hepburn. Great photos. I have every movie Audrey Hepburn ever made. Sometimes when I am shoe shopping, I think, "Well, these look like something SHE would wear."

    Hands down, Sam would like the Sophia Loren photo best.

    Thanks for the trip down memory lane, Cat!
