The magic of sinuously sentient afghans and sexy sweater liners finishes out this amazing Fifties epic. Whew! I think I need a smoke now.

"Gaspe'" looks like a first draft for Wesley Crusher. But I would totally wear that tiger hat on a spy mission. You could fit tons of secret documents and a pearl-handled revolver and an extra pair of gloves in there, no sweat.

"Sunny" on the right looks like she's got a pronounced case of static cling. Pretty rude of the other adults to keep staring so hard.

It's probably just because of the photography, but these kids look like it's taking superhuman amounts of effort for them to bend and/or raise their arms.

Given that it was the Fifties, I'm surprised that there's no grown-up version of the "Clown & Elephant"-- with a Martini glass on the sleeve and the elephant in pink, of course.
