Thank you Michelle and Anne. I enjoyed reading your interview even though I have never watched Mad Men.
I have vivid memories of the sixties and I have kept a lot of paraphernalia from that era,
from Life magazines with JFK and Jackie on the cover to my l966-l967 doll pram.
I love to watch the real l960s movies (as opposed to remakes) and my favourite TV shows like I Dream of Jeannie and Bewitched without having to smell cigarette smoke.
My sixties nostalgia trip takes me to my my grandfather, who was a chain smoker, smoking in the car. The cigarette smoke, "blended" with his "June Clover" cologne, usually triggered nausea and trying not to be sick to my stomach in the back seat of the car. His remedy for the upset stomach was Humpty Dumpty chips (--regular of course! Salt'n Vinegar and BBQ were non-existent!) or a small bag of Mr. Peanut with Ginger Ale.
**************I'll have to check out Mad Men sometime. I'm still in TV mode however; I rely on TV programming. I have never "downstreamed" any series or shows. OK! I think that I have come up with a new word!! I was thinking of "downloading" and "streaming" and I came up with "downstreaming". No wonder I coudn't verify the word online! Now it's obvious that I'm a 1960 baby!
Until then, I'll be watching the nostalgia/carousel scene that you have kindly inserted dear Michelle. Ça je le peux ! Ha ! Ha ! Merci bien !
Merci ma chère Brigitte pour ton commentaire! I like your word invention"downstreaming", it has a nice ring to it!! :) Wow you must have so many cool 1960s treasures... I'd love to take a nostalgia trip to the sixties with you and browse through all your paraphernalia. It's fascinating how la mémoire olfactive can be so powerful. I imagine you being a child in the backseat of your grandfather's car, and I feel bad you felt so unwell with all the scents. I have a child who's very sensitive to smells in cars, so I know how unpleasant that whole situation is. Thank god for Ginger Ale :)
