The Cold Wardigans

Mr. Jenkins has posted scans from a fascinating fallout shelter handbook from 1962. Very Kennedy-era, and yet paranoia never really goes out of style. Yes, in forty years the Department of Homeland Security’s Chicken Little warnings will seem quaint as well.

At flickr, I’ve just posted some scans from a 1956 McCall’s magazine fashion shoot taken at Disneyland — 1, 2, 3. And don’t miss the sweetened goodness collected at the Sugar Frosted Cereal Museum. Now I need myself a bowl of Cap’n Crunch.

    Amazing find. Good work. I’m sick of stuffing, and my mom is a witch. Please send help.

    Thanks, dear Matt, for the mention on my post about the fallout shelter handbook! I thought that you’d appreciate that little bit of vintage oddity.
