From 1963: Look What I Found!

The patron saint of this blog, Miss Tuesday Weld, on the cover of LIFE.

I've found a site filled with marvelous magazine covers and I have been having myself a time with it. You'll be seeing many more wonderful covers from LIFE, Vogue, TIME, Newsweek, and much more in the near future.

Three More Delicacies From The Joys Of Jello, 1963


If I showed this to my sister, Jane, she would look at me and say one thing: "Grandma Mary."

Yes, our paternal grandmother loved to make all matter of cold salads involving fruit-flavored Jell-O (she liked lime the best), canned fruits and vegetables suspended, like bewildered flies in honey, in the gelatin. Each plate of the salad was always served with a dollop of mayonnaise, which she would serve with a flourish that never left a chip on her Revlon's Love That Red fingernails (the woman always had a flawless manicure), or disturbed the ash on her ever-present Pall Mall.

Then she would sit down at the dinner table, take a sip from her Manhattan, and say, "I have been seated, so you all may begin."
