The Superior Electric Company A.K.A "SuperElectric" unfortunately stopped production in the 1960s, but luckily they left behind some cool bright cheery merch! This desk fan was probably picked up at a Sears in the mid-60s. SuperElectric sold various appliances such as toasters, waffle irons, percolators and of course, FANS!
This fan was in dire need of a sprucing up...but now it looks almost new! The turquoise could brighten up anyone's day!
I will be on the lookout for photos of some old SuperElectric merch. If you're a lover of vintage fans, prepare to be delighted:
As a lifelong Shirley Temple fan, obviously I dressed up as her for Halloween one year. I think it's an excellent idea- so here is some inspiration and tips:
In order for people to REALLY know you're Shirley, you must first need to wear a replica of a dress similar to the one she wore in her film, Stand Up And Cheer.
I wasn't able to find a clear colorized photo, but the dots and ribbon are red. :) You will also need some white shoes.
Of course, any Shirley costume would not be complete without a head of curls! 56 pin curls to be exact! Don't forget Shirley's trademark curl on her forehead! *Shirley Temple Trivia* - This curl became a trademark by accident DUE to an accident- Shirley accidentally fell outside on a brick walkway and cut her forehead open just before an audition! Her mother covered up the cut up with a sweet curl! :)
Here's a black and white clip from the film:
Halloweeny Shirley photo!
If you're not crazy about being Shirley, perhaps you could take some inspiration from this photo of a grown up Shirley from 1948 wearing a lovely blonde wig and 18th century costume:
Now that we've covered Shirley, here are some cool classic Halloween photos for your Halloween enjoyment!
No matter how old I get, no matter where life takes me, if I have little girls of my own or not, one thing will never change: I LOVE SHIRLEY TEMPLE BLACK! I love the films she made and her ability to turn a lot of people's attitudes around in time of despair. I admire her courage as a woman to step up and get into the political ball game and fight for what she believed in (and still does). Shirley's survival of breast cancer is also incredibly inspiring- as was her bravery to put it out there when it happened. Finally, I admire her diligence in everything she put her mind to. I will always look up to Shirley Temple Black. "Now And Forever."
