Happy New Year Vintage Black Glamour Friends! Surely I don’t have to tell most of you that this is Lena Horne and Hazel Scott (circa 1940s - Metronome/Getty) but I will say that they were not toasting the new year in this picture. I suspect they were merely toasting their mutual fabulousness…
Thank you so much for such an awesome 2012 (57,000+ Facebook fans, 4,000+ Twitter followers, 132,000+ (!) Tumblr blog subscribers - I am so grateful for each and every one of you.
Maybe it’s much too early in the game, but I thought I’d ask you just the same… What are you doing New Year’s Eve? ~ Nancy Wilson from 1963.
So, no chestnuts literally roasting on an open fire… but I did just slip a Lemon Pound Cake in the oven! Although it’s been said many times, many ways, Merry Christmas to you!
