That lady’s shades are very very cool.<br /><br />TokyoMagic!, the funny thing is that I have another photo from a year later with a woman wearing similar shades. As 80’s as they appear, they are from the 60’s, which is a surprise. “Hook and Ladder”, don’t know that one. “Red corpuscle” is a good description of that woman’s pattern.<br /><br />Chuck, the man with the plaid coat has just come to California from Texas, and he’s still not so sure about all these Hollywood types. Maybe a ride on an old-fashioned streetcar will put him at ease. I saw your conversation with TokyoMagic! about the mystery stage in Tomorrowland… it was lots of fun, but I couldn’t think of anything intelligent to ad! <br /><br />Melissa, why not both?<br /><br />Jonathan, it’s true, Polly looks good in her babushka, but she should still relax a little! And now that you mention it, Goofy’s hat really IS unique. I am trying to think of a silent film star that had a hat like that, but maybe there never was such a thing.<br /><br />Alonzo, more babushka value for your blogging dollar.<br /><br />JG, what a time it would have been to visit Disneyland. I would have loved it.<br /><br />KS, I assume that people are still happy at the park - just not me, as much. I definitely get exhausted.<br /><br />David Zacher, I’m reading ahead to the next comment, but you and I both saw something similar for a moment!<br /><br />Jonathan, yep, that’s it…<br /><br />JG, maybe that’s my issue, since I don’t have an AP… my day at Disneyland costs me some serious dough.<br /><br />David Zacher, I wondered the same thing. “What is that <i>thing</i> back there? Took me a moment to realize what it was.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-60562750752093282722018-11-16T15:29:19.274-08:002018-11-16T15:29:19.274-08:00Gawrsh, JC!

Soon to be gone with the atomic symbol is the Moonliner in the Douglas livery just behind Goofy's hat. Too bad Goofy didn't win that election. I have been searching my whole life for a hat like Goofy's. It flatters the wearer.

Interesting that some people are wearing coats and others short sleeves.<br /><br />This was the last year for the old Tomorrowland. That wonderful atomic symbol on the south Tomorrowland entrance building is living on borrowed time.<br /><br />I insist on brass buttons on all of my red shirts. That may explain why I don't have any.<br /><br />Also - for those of you who were following yesterday's discussion on the short-lived Small World Stage, check yesterday's comments for some additional info that came to light in the late afternoon/early evening (depending on your time zone).<br /><br />Chucknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-34535981477444468322018-11-16T00:40:51.191-08:002018-11-16T00:40:51.191-08:00Nanook, did Devo ever wear glasses like that?

I know, wrong decade.<br /><br />Back to the 1960's, for some reason these pics make me want to sing Nancy Sinatra's, "Hook and Ladder."<br /><br />I like the "red corpuscle" print on Pompom Lady's top. Also in that second pic, Goofy's jaw looks fully articulated, like the creepy talking Mickey and Minnie rubber heads of today.<br /><br />TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-40912203285141394962018-11-16T00:10:21.473-08:002018-11-16T00:10:21.473-08:00Major-

And how's about that lady manhandling what appears to be her purse and a camera bag-?... check out that 'far out' pair of sunglasses she's wearing-! Too cool.<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
