    Palm Springs P.S. I Love You

    Attracted to its year-round sunshine and relative seclusion, Palm Springs has been a playground for A-list celebrities since the 1930s. This once rustic outpost and hideaway experienced a post-war housing boom driven by Hollywood's elite, transforming it from a sleepy desert town into a mecca for experimental modernist design and architecture.

    Claiming the world’s largest concentration of mid-century modern architecture, today, its premier event, Modernism Week, attracts over 100,000 visitors from around the globe to celebrate its uniquely modernist aesthetic and cultural offerings.

    This week we have a vintage Palm Springs fling in mind as the VFG gets ready for some hot summer fun in our coolest retro resort wear.

    Sunny, Montgomery Clift wore a Hawaiian shirt very similar to yours in From Here To Eternity!

    while looking for something COMPLETELY different, I ran across this story in Forbes titled "Living Like Sinatra: The Ultimate Rat Pack Weekend in Palm Springs" which reminded me of this parade, of course, so thought I'd share it here...his lead in hooked me:

    "I was a pretty lucky kid. I remember growing up in the casino business where my father worked, and being surrounded by a lot of legendary people. From family gatherings with Frank Sinatra, to hanging out backstage with Sammy Davis Jr. at every one of his concerts, it was an exciting life for a freckled faced, innocent kid. I would come to meet the members of the Rat Pack purely by the company we kept. As a wide eyed teenager I got to know them fairly well; Dean Martin never really drank, Sammy Davis was more spiritual than you could imagine and Frank was always entertaining beautiful women."
