...bobby sox, poodle skirts and Elvis on the Juke Box. This is Kristin at the Southern Flyer 50's grill inside the Brenham, Texas airport. Shot with the 17-40mm in existing light. I swapped a couple prints for her model release. Pat and I had burgers, fries, rings and chocolate ice cream sodas :0)

Thanks Don, Char, Dale Ann, Ilana, Sanjay, Stacey, Michelle and Cindy! This is a neat little country airport. One end of the building is the terminal for private and corporate airplanes and one end is this cute 50's grill. I must say their prices have kept pace with the times :0( #1145493Carolyn M. Fletcher March 03, 2005
Just like I remember, with the exception of the poodle skirts, which didn't catch on in Iowa. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff we used to wear...or maybe you would. LOL #1145517Murry Grigsby March 03, 2005
Thanks Carolyn! And yes I would believe it :0) #1145532Dan Holm March 03, 2005

Hi Murry - WONDERFUL 'Back To The 50's' retro shot!! :-) Sadly(?!), I wasn't even a teenager in the 50's, but I sure remember the next decade...and was still wearing clothes like Kristin in the early 60's!! Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Murry ;-), and, congratulations on your well-deserved Finalist for this image!! :-) #1347782Murry Grigsby May 13, 2005
