Palm Beach Society of the 50's or Why Romney Doesn't Know Where Cookies Come From
Author: AuntAzalea    Date: 06/24/2012 13:14:03

Good Morning All! Velveeta Jones is out in the field gathering petunias this weekend and due to the delicate nature of the precise petunia picking window asked me, Aunt Azalea to pitch hit.. or was it pinch hit?.. You know how she loves her baseball terminology.

One of my favorite websites is one called NY Social Diary where the rich, powerful and artistic all seem to mingle in a world filled with Balls and Benefits (great name for a band.. just saying) geared to bestow good will amongst the rest of us. This week I came across an amazing photographic article entitled Part XVI: Resort Life, November 1959 to April 1960

Throughout the chic photographic diaries are descriptions which seem to always include a scandal or two or mention mysterious deaths as if to warn us that being rich doesn't mean you escape addiction, murder or illness. I just couldn't look away. The Presidential Election is right around the corner and with all the talk about how stiff and downright upright Mitt Romney is, these photos of his society back in his formative days gives a bit of insight to why he seems so out of touch.

I particularly love the photo entitled "For The First Time in 15 Years The Ordman Family Is Together For Christmas"... yikes...it screams.. help me

Please enjoy and have a wonderful lazy Sunday. Velveeta shall return next week!
