So is "master calendar" going to be the events tag going forward? I have had trouble finding the event announcement posts in the past because of inconsistent tagging.

::hanging head in shame:: i confess to being an inconsistent tagger....i will also tag this 'upcoming events'.....do you think master calendar works??? i do have this entry linked in the sticky note on our LJ vintage ads page....

Ah, I see the link in the sticky post. That's good. If the events posts could all be tagged at least "upcoming events," that would be great, and if it doesn't end up in the sticky we'll know where to go to look for it. That way we don't have to remember to bookmark a particular post. I can see how you might want to tag a long-range post like this both "master calendar" and "upcoming events," because it's both.

Hi! I know your schedule is pretty much set (and it looks great, BTW), but I just thought of something: would you be interested in a one-day event acknowledging the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination? The date this year, November 22nd, falls on a Friday, as it did in 1963. Could we have something like early '60s ads? Just a thought!

we can ALWAYS add things, rearrange things, etc!! ALWAYS feel free to suggest something!!! That is a great one day event idea (though a tragic day in American history)....60's ads or JFK ads? what do you think?? i can add whatever you think would work better.....i think perhaps JFK ads, or things that JFK influenced or involved with----moon landing, peace corps, etc.....thoughts, ideas?

bradygirl_12 August 18 2013, 19:18:30 UTC

Awesome! I think that's a good idea, JFK-related ads. Space and Peace Corps are excellent. There could also be Cape Cod/New England ads; fashion ads as Jackie influenced that world quite a bit with her pillbox hats and other stylish clothes; political ads, etc. I do know his favorite foods were clam chowder and Boston cream pie. ;) And maybe someone could find a Vaughn Meader ad for the Kennedy family spoof record that was a hot seller until November 22nd.

I just looked and wow, that's the weekend I had for religious ads.....i mean, a big to do was made during the election of him being a catholic.....wow....but yes, friday nov. 22 will be a one day event (and the start of our religious ad weekend, i think in a way that ties in nicely?)....

fashion is a good tie in....boston ads too!!!

I just saw an ad that used the word "tomboy." I was a bit of a tomboy before I became such a wuss and I like ads that show girls playing baseball, holding frogs, etc. Maybe we can have a tomboy day with ads featuring girls doing tomboyish things? Maybe on the same day also have "boys with a sensitive side" or something.

Oh, and thanks for the "sweaty" tags! :)

misstia August 19 2013, 02:15:08 UTC

and we're having a SWEATY weekend!!! :) the weekend of thanksgiving---that friday thru sunday!!!

i like that....how about call it 'role reversal'? or 'gender bender'? i's tired so i can't think straight....

pikkewyntjie August 19 2013, 03:00:44 UTC

Yay! Somehow I missed that, but still saw the new tag.

So you're thinking gay? You know, because you can't think straight? Ha ha! (Yeah, terrible joke!) But, yeah, I think anything along the lines of non-traditional gender roles, preferably in a positive light. I mostly just want a tomboy theme, but then I thought that would exclude boys.

I lost track of what you were saying after you mentioned boobs ;)
