Sadie Hawkins Day
Which part of a newspaper do you normally read first? Sports? Lifestyle? Current Events?
For me, it's always the comics page which I grew up calling the "funny papers."
One of the most iconic comic strips of all time is Al Capp's Li'l Abner. And I think it's really cool that a holicay, Sadie Hawkins Day, was the result of a cartoon.
Yes, it's outdated (Sadie Hawkins was introduced in 1937), but I'm all about empowering women. Check out how this holiday, where womens ask out men, came into being and was an annual event in Dogpatch. https://wimpygirl.com/sadie-hawkins-day

Li’l Abner 1959. Designed mostly on a single soundstage with only 2 cut away interior sets. Every frame of this film is like a homage to an 8 pack of crayola crayons. #colorpalette #productiondesign So many people tucked into this film including a very brief cameo from #JerryLewis. It’s almost impossible to find streaming. It has occasionally aired on TCM. You’ll have to buy the DVD. #broadway #musical #paramountpictures #stubbykaye #peterpalmer #billiehayes #leslieparrish #howardstjohn #joeemarks #julienewmar #stellastevens #bethhowland #valerieharper #bobbybanas #thenittygritty #sadiehawkins #mammyyokum #yokumberrytonic #kickapoojoyjuice #lilabner #alcapp #daisymae #beefcake #homoerotic #nelsonriddle #johnnymercer #stupifyinjones https://www.instagram.com/p/CDzFkxTpXNI/?igshid=ld5teib0txxk

Edie Adams, the radiantly beautiful singer, actress and comedienne, would be 90 years old this year (she died in 2008). Wife of comic innovator Ernie Kovacs, she was such a fantastic performer I had to celebrate her here with my collection. #edieadams #erniekovacs #heresedie #lilabner #broadway #percydovetonsils #vintagevinyl #vintagerecords #lpcollection #classichollywood #vintagehollywood #singaprettysong #nothinginmoderation
