Those Crayola colors and the 50s childhood

The New Neo Posted on January 24, 2009 by neoJanuary 24, 2009

The other day I came across this chronology of Crayola crayon colors. Although I must confess that Crayolas were something I hadn’t thought of in decades, it all came back in a rush. First there was the initial pack for … Continue reading →

Not-so amusing amusement parks

The New Neo Posted on December 24, 2008 by neoDecember 24, 2008

This story about a hundred people being trapped for six hours on the world’s largest ferris wheel doesn’t exactly whet my appetite for one of my least favorite things in life, amusement parks. I’ve never liked rides of that sort, … Continue reading →

Book groups: ah, the complexity!

The New Neo Posted on December 9, 2008 by neoDecember 9, 2008

If you want to have a reason for refusing to join a book group, just read this article to discover how petty and strange people can be. Confession: I am a member of a book group. An all-female one, as … Continue reading →

As time goes by

The New Neo Posted on November 22, 2008 by neoNovember 22, 2008

Here’s a re-creation—sort of—of a famous photographic kiss: Here’s the iconic original from VJ Day in Times Square: The claim is that it’s the same woman. I’ve always loved that black and white Eisenstaedt photo, especially the little twist in … Continue reading →

Ode to the Necco

The New Neo Posted on November 6, 2008 by neoDecember 9, 2008

I will write about politics soon, never fear. But in an effort to get away from the topic—even if ever-so-slightly—let’s talk about candy. Classic candy. New England candy. Neccos. Developed in 1847 with the advent of that great leap forward, … Continue reading →

Tempus fugit

The New Neo Posted on October 26, 2008 by neoOctober 26, 2008

More on mothers and daughters and the passage of time. The following photo, however, is my favorite in the piece. What carriage and natural elegance the woman had! [NOTE: Oops! Trying to have a nonpolitical weekend, and here I somehow … Continue reading →

My theory on the Walmart Diet

The New Neo Posted on September 10, 2008 by neoSeptember 10, 2008

It turns out that having a Walmart in the neighborhood is associated with a slight weight loss in the surrounding population. Researchers are at a loss (pun intended) to determine the reason this might be. But their guess is that … Continue reading →

Whatever happened to really silly pop songs?

The New Neo Posted on August 21, 2008 by neoAugust 23, 2008

They were called “novelty songs,” although I didn’t know it at the time. They occupied a special niche that doesn’t seem to exist anymore in this far less innocent age: a nonsensical bubble-gum type of music/lyrics, meant mostly to amuse … Continue reading →

Another day, another fugly dress

The New Neo Posted on June 14, 2008 by neoJune 19, 2008

Some of you may have noticed that lately I’ve been putting a bit more fluff on this blog. Yes, it’s true. It may have started with the post in which I segued seamlessly from Obama to jello, but it’s bigger … Continue reading →

The first rule of marketing: if I like a product, they discontinue it

The New Neo Posted on June 10, 2008 by neoJune 19, 2008

Some products stay the same for what seems like an eternity. Pond’s Cold Cream, for example. Or Ivory, both Snow and soap. And then of course there’s Jello—but any regular reader of this blog knows about that. These things are … Continue reading →

Wanting a cool and sexy Prez

The New Neo Posted on June 6, 2008 by neoJune 10, 2008

Maybe it’s come down to this: choosing a President is now mostly about style rather than substance. Obama is cool. That’s the real link with Kennedy, who was exceptionally cool but in a very sophisticated way. Bill Clinton was sort … Continue reading →
