EYECANDY: Summer 2016

[Alleycats]

The first day of Summer 2016 is June 20th. Let’s do a 1959 movie theme "A Summer Place". A very soapy love story starring a well dressed cast along with the Frank Lloyd Wright - Walker House.

Here's a few shots from the original film to start us off.

Great! I never realized that beautiful home was a FLW!

I didn't know that was a FLW house either--cool! I saw it in person last year on a trip to CA and imagined what it might like to like to live in such a beauty! Maybe in another life...

Where in CA is it located, Amy? Maybe I can get a glimpse, too.

That house was stunning.
I also remember - as a pre-teen, I thought Troy Donahue was sorta stunning too.

Starting off with some sunglasses -

I see that Sandra Dee wore similar to this iconic hat in the movie...I didn't know it dated to 1959!
