Hello there!

Since it's looking like PH is no more, or at least, on hold indefinitely, I wanted us to have a place to meet up and keep in touch.

Welcome to the Social Club!

Most of you know me as Mimi, from Port Halcyon and everywhere else!

Please stop in and post a quick Intro here for the new folks, and then let's pick up where we left off!

And hello from lindydiva.

Happy New Year to all, and please accept my apologies for not sending out cards for Christmas.

Next year...really!

Hello Tammi (Deadpandiva) here.
Great to see you both in the virtual world.

Hello,

This is Trase, great new site you have here! Glad to be a part of it, thank you for the invitation. I'm looking forward to "meeting" everyone here and sharing our love for retro and vintage!

Hello, everyone,

I'm Honore (BygoneKnits), and although I wasn't in your old group, Mimi was kind enough to invite me to come here -- thank you! It sounds keen!

Guess I'm the first guy here. I knew Mimi from Port Halcyon and Atomic Mag before that. I live in South Philadelphia.

Hi everyone! I'm Ali. Ami knows me as Housebug from Brocante Home. I'm a Canadian living in England. Hubby and I are planning on moving to Scotland in the Spring!

Looking forward to talking with everyone.

Kittenwithawhip here! Y'all know me from Port Halcyon (I thought of that name!) and of course from the good old ATOMIC days. Bear with me, I haven't done the retro thing in a long time and I'm just ramping up again. I finally bought some great stuff and was just INCHES away from posting it under the "Show us your stuff" thread when - KABOOM - the cafe went up in a big mushroom cloud.

What a pisser.

In Other News: Hey, Ali, GREAT avatar! I thought I was the only one who knew about Hilda!

Thank ye. She's a recent acquaintance. Us fat chi...I mean, Rubenesque types need to stick together.

thank you for the introductions, and Mimi for the invitation.

Speaking of avatars, what a lovely Vogue cover, majorwifey! Not only is the content of most magazines less than stellar these days, oh, how I long for the vintage covers -- they truly were works of art. I've actually been thinking about writing an article on the subject for awhile -- the high-tone womens' and home & garden mags, specifically, from the '20s - early '60s.

Peeks in shyly
Hello, I'm TX Poppet. It's a pleasure to meet most of you and to say hello again to some of you.

Thanks for the invitaiton here Mimi.

I am with Eileen in not getting out the Christmas cards, sorry.

I am located in So. California east of Los Angeles.

Heh! Me too - I just sent out my last batch of Christmas cards this week. When I got back from vacation, I noticed all my mail piled up on the table as requested. Unfortunately, my housesitter took it ALL inside, including the mail I'd left to go OUT that first day. Oh well! Better late than never.

While we're at it, I didn't get the cards either...and I feel awful about it, since I'm the one who pushed for the card swap!

Oh well, at least a good many people did swap cards and we kept it going!

Hi all!

Great to see some regulars plus the new folks, course I guess I'm new around here as well,huh? My nickname is the_librarian and, well, um...I'm actually a librarian with a great love of all retro books and magazines. I've got a bunch of stuff, that to non-retros is a pile of junk, but to me is sheer treasure. In particular I concentrate on the eras 1920-1965. I also have a great love for pulp fiction (the paper kind, not the movie) and love to hack away at some stories about such. Guess I'm not the Indiana Jones type except in my mind, but I still try to have fun each day.

Looking forward to meeting and talking all about retro stuff.

See ya,

Get over to the Writing Dept and start hacking!

Glad to know I'm not the only one didn't manage cards this year. (I think maybe the first time ever!) I did, however, manage to take them out of storage. They're currently stacked on my desk. I expect I'll put them away in, say, April.

First hack up! Make sure you take some Alka-Seltzer before you start reading!

^I can't wait to read it. I loved the choose your own adventure type story you posted on Port Halcyon.

Okay, retrophiles, I'm back (for better or worse)! Thanks to everyone who sent me a card in 2007!

Marlowe!

So glad you made it!

Stick around, hey, and bring some more guys with you!

Thanks! It was a lotta fun....glad I didn't drive everyone nuts. I'm in research now, so stay tuned for more hacked plots and twists.....

Hi everyone! I made it!
Thanks to Tony for pointing me in the right direction. I hope we can make this place as cool as Port Halcyon/Atomic (R.I.P. )

I'll volunteer to moderate if you still need anyone, Mimi!

Great, Susie, Thanks!

I'm going to put you on the Next Rotation.

I think if we do it in shifts, no one will get sick of it! Unless there is something that is Your Specialty and want full-time Mod duty, just yell out!
