...than 5% of the catalog consisted of postwar design. Now it constitutes more like 60% to 70% of the 20th century auctions. Big prices have attracted a whole new audience too: art collectors and investors looking for something to furnish their real estate investments, or younger collectors in their 30s and 40s who are not interested in the decorative collectibles their parents treasured...
...recent Oscar-winning weepies are descendants of the domestic melodramas of the '30s and '40s, with Barbara Stanwyck or Greta Garbo cast as a strong-willed woman censured by a straitlaced society. In the past 20 years, when women have achieved a measure of equality (except at the box office), the hero-victim has tended to be male, and the affliction has been mental, as in Rain Man, Forrest Gump and A Beautiful Mind.

I lived through the change - patients and doctors both were pretty nervous as discharges...

It seems one potential hubby managed to spill his drink twice on the same girl, only to pass out in front of 7-11 later in the night...Advoflappers dressed up for their Depression-themed comp party (20s? 30s? Who cares if the costumes match the decade) on Saturday. The party featured a life-size Hooverville that led to many an unfortunate splinter and a speak-easy featuring a winning concoction of grape Kool-aid, vodka, and (some speculate) tranquilizers. Nothing says “Depression” like Xanax...
