How to Steal A Million the Old School Way

Call me old school but I love old TV shows and movies, especially from the 60s, probably because I was only allowed to watch Nick At Nite after 9 p.m. growing up. I have exhausted Hulu's I Dream of Jeannie episodes so tonight I'm downloading Audrey Hepburn's 1966 movie How To Steal A Million on iTunes to provide me with some pure, fun escapism. There's a simplicity to old movies that I find extremely soothng--no CGI, vampires or apocalyptic story lines--plus I watched the trailer and Audrey's Givenchy wardrobe is to die for. Maybe I'll also learn some tips on how to steal a million.

I love the 60s + Robert McGinnis

As I am doing research on the lifestyle of Bond Girls (No, I am not changing vocations.  It's for my web design class, which I'm redesigning the ELIE TAHARI website), I stumble across illustrations from the 60s by Robert McGinnis: 
I wish I lived in the 60s so I could have big updos, false lashes and heavy eyeliner.  
Here's one that you all might recognize.  McGinnis also designed this poster:
What's crazy is that this illustration style is coming back and are present TODAY in Stella Artois 4% ads by agency Mother UK.  Long live the glamorous 60s.
