What Do Your Grandparents Mean to You?

DearSugar — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:00:00 -0700

This morning, Leonardo DiCaprio is mourning the death of his grandmother, who passed away at 93 in her native Germany. Apparently Leo is close to heartbroken, which comes as no surprise, because they had always been very close.

As we all know, death is one of life's natural progressions, and for many people, losing a grandparents is their first experience with loss. The relationship one has with her grandparents can vary drastically from person to person. Some fear the elderly, while others completely relate. Some grew up with their grandparents acting as their parents, and other people barely know them at all. I've always been fascinated by my grandparents. I consider them a wealth of knowledge, and I could happily listen for hours to their stories about the good old days and how they met and fell in love. Do you, or did you, feel the same way about your grandparents? I'm curious, so tell me what they mean to you!

Oh Snap! When Flight Attendants Glammed It Up

TresSugar — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:01:20 -0700

There's a great scene in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can when Leonardo DiCaprio's con artist character tries to elude the cops by pretending to be a pilot. As he waltzes through the airport, he enlists the help of some glamorous stewardesses (yes, that's what they were called back then) to camouflage him with their identically glamorous outfits. A lot of the photos in this slideshow hearken back to a time that some call air travel's glory years, when service was still good and passengers weren't herded like cattle. Some would also call it a time when stewardesses (there were "cabin boys" too) were treated as sex objects who were supposed to wait on you hand and foot and possibly hint at . . .other services. (For a time, there was a policy that only unmarried women could be stewardesses.) Let's take a look at the good, the bad, and the ugly in this flight attendant flashback.
