I thought the nostalgic trend of looking back at life as it used to be was limited only to the art of the era, and in particular, pin-up style. Now for something that smacks of the 1950s (at least I think that is when it is) and its icon, the Housewife, is a fantabulous, fun site that offers, of all things, Tarot readings!
I love that it instructs you to relax before dealing your cards, and fix yourself a martini if you have to (as books and television of the times often encouraged!) Offering past, present and future readings with contemporary renderings and art work of the era, reading your cards was never so much fun! And, if you don’t like what you see, it suggests having another martini!
Also included are secret recipes, such as divinated eggs, prophecy punch ( “one swig of this sacred sangria and you’ll be seeing visions in no time!"), and magic meatloaf, (mystery meat).
If you can’t get enough of the era, upload their desktop goodies to your computer. Worth checking out!
