WIN A TRIP TO HOLLYWOOD! Be on DR. KILDARE!

Okay, ladies and gents. This is what you've been waiting for! I've got a HUGE PRIZE here for some lucky fan. All expense paid trip to Hollywood, California and a part on Dr. Kildare! The real Hollywood. Not the Florida, Hollywood. The one with the odd footprints and handprints and paw prints in cement. The one where a guy dressed like Charlie Chaplin used to wander around Hollywood Boulevard freaking me out. THE Hollywood.

Make sure you read all the details. You wouldn't want to miss out on this one because of not crossing a "t" or dotting an "i."

Of course, some time travel at your own expense* is required. This contest IS from 1963. But on the upside, I don't see any date for when the contest entries had to be in. So don't let the fact that Dr. Kildare has been off the air for decades stop you from entering. And if you're a guy, well...times have changed. This might be the trip for you too! I'm sure we could take the skirt in with some seams and make a smart short pant suit for you.

Dream big my friends. DREAM BIG!

*This contest is brought to you by the June 1963 Modern Teen magazine. This website has no responsibility to help you with your time travel should you win this prize. If you do win this prize, or know of anyone who has, please contact the editor because MAN, I WANT TO HEAR ALL ABOUT IT! 

**My condolences to Mr. Chamberlain if he actually had to go through with this.

Paint by numbers SWINGIN' TEENS

How groovy is this? Paint by numbers hip swingin' 60s teens? And look at the price! $1.70 a set! Real oil paintings hanging on your wall for a buck seventy. So who was the original artist that created these and broke them down into the number system?

Created by The Art Award Company of North Bergen, New Jersey. Take a look here to see some of their other products. Don't be frightened when you are faced with a bunch of Keane knockoffs. Keane paintings were probably some of the worst popular art to come along in the early 60s. Now, I know there are people who love them, but...well I won't say anything else because then I might say something about Kincade and...then I start thinking about velvet Elvis.
