A Pictorial Souvenir of Disneyland (1983)
Published July 1, 2013 Disneyland , Tomorrowland 1 Comment
Speaking of utopias, Walt Disney managed to build a little one for those who can afford it. In my opinion, it’s being slowly stripped of its initial mission and magic (been on the Submarines lately?), as is the corporation that owns and runs it. Millions disagree with me, as usual.
Most of second-phase Tomorrowland was still intact in 1983. Space Mountain opened on May 27, 1977, two days after Star Wars premiered. What a summer.

Leisure Home Designs, 1980
Published July 1, 2013 '70s Decor/Design/Fashion , Suburban Living 6 Comments
There are thousands of books filled with leisure home designs, but very few actual leisure homes. Utopia is a design concept, not a reality. The artists and publishers are selling a dream. I want one of these houses like I want a window table in Ten Forward of the USS Enterprise.
The images above are from Voices of East Anglia. They’re originally from Popular Science Leisure Homes by Alfred W. Lees with Ernest V. Heyn (1980).
I posted some 1960 designs here.
