...office star of the '30s was 6 years old when she became a leading lady. Kids by the millions wanted her curls, her doll, the nonalcoholic cocktail named for her. Oh, there was a clockwork tinge to her adorability, her sugary films were anathema to sophisticates, and parts of her plantation musicals (such as The Little Colonel and The Littlest Rebel in this set) were, and are, criminally patronizing.

...FUTURE SHOP? I regularly buy and sell watches online because I enjoy nice watches, but I also enjoy variety. When my wife has a loud, uniquely colored cocktail dress and doesn't feel like spending a few hundred dollars on a pair of shoes she'll wear with it once a year, she'll buy a gingerly used pair on eBay.
