This is William Powell. He's best known for the Thin Man series with Myrna Loy. I think he was absolutely the most charming man. Not exactly handsome but what a personality! Intelligent , Witty comments, fabulous clothes and apartments. I wanted to be Nora to his Nick Charles.
Next Alan Ladd. There's something about detectives, isn't there? Handsome, soft spoken but full of controlled passion.I wish men still dressed like they did in the thirties and forties. The movies have really shaped my idea of ideal men. And life-styles. Too bad it's not really real. In the movies in the thirties, everyone lived in elegant apartments or mansions. I think that's why we all love antique and vintage things...it reminds us of what we grew up with or wanted to grow up with.

Awwww...so many handsome dashing men!
Thanks Susan for identifying my "what-cha-ma-call-its". I think you're right - agapanthas. I love 'em.
I've planted both yellow and purple lantana too. I think the purple is my favorite.
It's raining here today so my plants are loving it.
Hugs!

Ooh, yes, I like vintage glamour too; the clothes, the architecture. It's easy to forget the stresses and real misery of the Great Depression and the six years of WWII.
