Postcard pretties

Here's a terrific postcard, showcasing the Lennon Sisters from the early 80's (I think). I *love* the mafia photo of them, in their suits and fedoras. Classic!

I've done my civic duty and voted in the presidential primary today. Now I'm gonna be lazy for the rest of the afternoon and probably take a nap with my cats. First though, I think I'll rip another of my Lennon Sisters lps. I'll post it after I wake up.

2008 - not the greatest so far

Sorry for the lack of updates. This has been the week from hell in every respect. I won't bore you with the details. To top it off my internet is down and won't be fixed til Monday (if we're lucky). I'm over at my aunt's, using her wireless to catch up on a few things.

So let's post a nice photo of the Lennon Sisters and their daughters. This is from the first year they performed in Branson. Hope you like.

Lennons and Lemontinis

Hope y'all had a lovely Thanksgiving. My family did. It was a smaller gathering than usual at my oldest sister's house but it was fun. There was much eating, drinking, and really bad karaoke. The Lennon Family we ain't. What I lack in talent I make up for in volume. I totally belted on Carrie Underwood's Before He Cheats. Any inhibitions I had were taken care of by the Lemontinis I consumed. My sister was in charge of the food; I was in charge of the booze. Let me share the Lemontini recipe - y'all, they are soooo good.

Ingredients:
Absolut Citron Vodka
Lemon Concentrate
Simple Syrup - mix 1 cup sugar into 1 cup boiling water until sugar is dissolved.
Sliced Lemon

Mix in Shaker:
several ice cubes
2 and 1/2 jiggers of citron vodka
1 jigger simple syrup
1/2 jigger lemon concentrate

Shake well, pour into sugar-rimmed coated glass, add slice of lemon.

Mmmmmmmmm.....

Now here's a fun picture of The Lennon Sisters doing their "strip" number. I'd have to drink way more to add this to my karaoke repertoire.

another picture post!

Here we have more pictures of the photogenic Lennon Sisters, courtesy of Katerina. The first two are just precious. Peggy's smile is so cute. They were adorable little girls who turned into real beauties.

Lennon Sisters 1950s Photos

I won some charming photos on ebay recently of the Lennon Sisters from the fifties, as well as a fashion layout they did for a magazine called Western Family. Not sure of the date - maybe 1957 or '58. The school fashions they modeled remind me of old pictures of my mother from that era. As a matter of fact Peggy looks not unlike my mom.



With their dad, Bill.


I have no idea who these little boys are.

Lennon Sisters Collages by Katerina

Katerina has made two beautiful collages from some of the many Lennon Sisters photos she's collected over the years. They're terrific wallpapers - a smörgåsbord of Lennon loveliness.



She also sends along a couple other photos and I've added one more for your enjoyment. Thanks Katerina!
