The Answers
Introduction When I was little, I was vibrant. Energetic. Charismatic. And naturally, extremely imaginative. I would curate things that I never could now. I wouldn’t say I was naive at all. A lot of kids aren’t, but regardless, adults continue to underestimate them. Have they never seen the movie Orphan? Poltergeist? The Exorcist? They should fear us and be more cautious of us. We’re smarter and stronger than adults like to presume. I’ve never liked any of the adults in my life. Even now, I don’t feel like an adult or relate to them whatsoever. Thankfully, though, I’ve still maintained a lot of my curiosity and I really don’t think I’ll ever be rid of the childlike aura within me.

Everything and Nothing
The best summer of my life was the summer of 1991. It was my first entire summer away in my first college apartment. I didn’t go home, back to the small town with shady streets, Hardee’s and where I’d watch VH-1’s “Stand-up Spotlight” in the basement until 3 a.m.

Mans Best Friend, Scouts Honor, The Buddy System, & Fire Safety
How do you treat your household pets? Your true nature then thus reflects. Man's behavior our pets inspect. I had many pets as a boy. Fun with my dogs I would enjoy. The minds of dogs are like a toy. Every dog loves long hikes & walks. Guard dogs help defend us from shocks. Their barking shows the ways dogs talk. They've also been called man's best friend. They like to patrol & defend. With behavior they message send. Sometimes they're a guide when we're lost. Their attendance is free of cost. They warm our hearts through cold frost. Dogs are often deeply loyal. They respect man's mortal coil. Their behavior let's not spoil.

Retro Reimagined
My love for all things vintage started when I was 10 years old. That was the year that the movie Now and Then came out and I. just. couldn’t. get. enough. I loved everything about the way the movie portrayed the 1960s - the music, the banana seat bicycles, the cheerful decor, and especially...the fashion. My best friend and I spent that summer camped out in my cousin’s old “flower power” sleeping bags, memorizing the lyrics to every Jackson 5 song and riding our bikes around town wearing my mother’s old short shorts and floral tops from her own mid-century childhood. For me, it was an absolute love affair - one that is still ongoing. I still listen to Motown hits daily, I still decorate my house with bright floral prints, and I am still very much in love with vintage fashion. In fact, my love for vintage fashion even propelled me into a degree in Costume Design. What could be better than learning in-depth from experts about the history and development of fashion? As an added bonus, during my time working in the university’s costume shop, I got to spend untold hours sorting through and organizing their vintage costume collection. Ohhhhh, the gorgeous dresses I catalogued! For the last 15 years, I’ve been collecting vintage clothing of my own from thrift stores and estate sales - both to wear and to re-sell. I have found some absolutely amazing items, from homemade hostess coats to designer gowns. My favorite find thus far has been a homemade light pink wool dress complete with an attached photo of the original wearer at her 1958 piano recital. It’s tracking down and saving these little bits of history that thrill me so much.

My Redheaded Mom
My five foot-ten inch, orange-blooded, Rocky Top singing, mother of four boys, red-head from Alcoa, Tennessee is best labeled in one term, Boss-Mom. I could write a book about her zest for life and accomplishments but instead will take you to the very hot summer of 1965 when we were stationed at Craig Air Force Base, Selma, Alabama. By the end of the story, maybe you will concur, that she earned this high and honorific designation.

"All were called but few were chosen. Are you among them."
“All were called, but few were chosen: Are you among the few?” History both ancient and modern are full of great people, both men and women of exceptional gifts and qualities they worked on and were well known in their era for their achievements, some for centuries after their departures. Put in another way, they came, they saw, they worked and they conquered.

1965
A lot happened in 1965. 56 years ago... The United States escalated its involvement in the Vietnam War that year. Bloody Sunday and the March on Selma happened. In New York, Malcom X was assassinated and The Worlds Fair was held. Tom & Jerry, Jefferson Airplane and A Charlie Brown Christmas made their debuts. The Gateway Arch was completed in St. Louis, the Pillsbury Doughboy was created and Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act into law. 1965 was an extremely significant year. For my 4 year old self if held a different kind of significance; although there is no way that I could have know that at the time.
