Vintage Family Photos
My cousin posted some amazing old photos on Facebook of my paternal grandparents at their lake cottage in what looks like the late 60's to early 70's and even 80's. My parents (when they were in their early 20's) were in a lot of the photos too.
I love looking at old family photos before my time. I don't watch Mad Men (yet! Season 1 is waiting for me in my Netflix queue), but doesn't this photo look like it's straight out of the series - well, when they are on 'vacation' anyways? That's my grandfather on the left lounging in the chair with the awesome socks.
And the clothes! My grandmother was so beautiful - this dress may be over the top, but I love it! The colors! I would love a dress in that pattern.
And here's another - my grandmother is on the left... check out that dress. And how cute is her turquoise basket purse? And my mom is on the right in the pink. Why didn't they save their clothes so I could be wearing them now? Maybe I should save all of my clothes for my granddaughter to wear when she's my age.

Perfect date movie for me and my BF
Like most couples, my BF and I love to go to the movies. We usually take a while to figure out which movie to see - generally agreeing on the comedies. He loves scary movies - I'm terrified of them. I love the dramas, dance movies and romances - and like most men, he would fall asleep.
However... I think I may have just found the perfect date movie for us. Check out the trailer below for 'Black Swan' - featuring Natalie Portman (one of my fave actresses - love her) and Mila Kunis. Two ballerinas competing for the same role in Swan Lake (one of my fave ballets).
The twist? It's a dark horror movie as well - it looks freaky, but my BF will love it. So now I can have my pretty ballet (well..pretty at first I'm sure) and he can have his scary parts.
Movie comes out Dec. 1st.

"Come Back Song" starring Darius Rucker...co-starring Charleston
Check out this video to get a glimpse of the city I now call home...pretty cool that Darius featured Charleston (his hometown) in his video and named his latest album, "Charleston, SC 1966".
Virtual fist bump to another Charleston girl blogger Megan at Fried Green Pickles for sharing the video on her blog.
