Carol Channing
Monday, October 27, 2014
I had the immense honor of meeting the legendary Carol Channing in Palm Springs over the weekend. She was as bright and witty as ever, commenting on my sequin jacket, " You should never take that off. In fact you should wear it to church on Sunday." Miss Channing was invited to the premiere of Advanced Style in Palm Springs, by our mutual friend Colleen. When asked what she thought about aging she replied, " You're either you or you're not and I think you're the same at any age."

Advancing Style: Alice Carey
Thursday, October 16, 2014
I'm about eleven and wearing a Lord & Taylor navy cotton dress with white linen handkerchief pockets decorated in numbers one to six in red.
Daring for its day when one went to Catholic school.
I'm about seventeen, on my way to Ireland. I'm wearing a Mark Cross blazer and carrying a COACH bag. Note the white gloves. I thought I looked swell.
I'm about twenty in the highlands of Scotland wearing a kilt and the same navy blazer from Mark Cross.
I'm in my thirties and in an Off-Broadway play. The dress is a John Kloss from Bendel's. The shoes are Charles Jordan. I still have them.
I am in my thirties. This is taken at dawn (for the Eastern light) in Cherry Grove. I'm wearing a 1920's silk chiffon Tea Dress covered in lilac pansies that I found thrown out in the Village.

The marvelous, Alice Carey is featured in our second "Advancing Style" series. If you are a regular reader of the blog, than you will surely recognize Alice's signature mix of menswear pieces with great vintage accessories. Read more about Alice's style development below and in the captions above.
Check out her wonderful novel HERE.
My Mother was a maid for Broadway producer, Jean Dalrymple, who wore wonderful clothes. From an early age I knew SAK'S was good and Bergdorf's was better. I was exposed to wonderful dresses all the time. And because Miss D. was small like me, I got the discarded cashmere because it was stained or ripped. For fun, I'd roam 5th Avenue's wonderful stores, hoping one day I too could dress like the women I saw. And I do. The only difference is, I buy my Bergdorf's at thrift shops.
I was educated in Catholic schools where we wore uniforms, a mode of dressing I still find useful. Depending on the weather my daily dress is that of a man because it's stylish, warm and comfortable. I combine tweed jackets with cashmere sweaters and paisley scarves, Marks & Spencer skinny black pants and Doc Martins. If it's rainy I rely on my worn Barbour and the same Doc Martins. In summer I wear Vintage cotton dresses and ditch the Doc's for sandals. I do not wear hats. I wear earrings and always without fail – red lipstick. In a word, I'd say I dress Spiffy!
As a writer I work at home. Yet I dress up every morning, lipstick and all, because it pleases me. If you saw me eating breakfast and reading the paper in one of my Village hangouts, you'd never suspect I go home to sit at the kitchen table. I am a contributor to Huffington Post and 'be the good Lord willing' my memoir, I'll Know It When I See It, will be updated and published in Ireland next year under a new title.

Raleigh, N.C. — Beer and arcade games seem like a match made in heaven. Who doesn't love a good game of Pac-Man?
The Beercade, unveiled last week, combines both - arcade gaming and beer. The coin slots have been replaced with taps so when you win, you get a beer.
The first Beercade game out there? Big Boss Brewery's The Last Barfighter. Players choose one of five characters that represent Big Boss' year-round brews: Hell's Belle, Bad Penny, Angry Angel, Blanco Diablo and High Roller.
The Flash-based game features the characters battling it out in a biker bar for three rounds. They will be doing basic fighting moves and a few unique attacks like fire throwing, unicorn horn impaling (ouch) and butt slaps. The best player of the three rounds wins a sample of beer.
Sound like fun?
Well, you can try the machine out on Wednesday evening from 5-8 p.m. at Big Boss during a special event to raise money for Camp Kesem, an organization that empowers college students to make a difference in the lives of children affected by a parent's cancer.
The game and the machine itself were created by McKinney advertising agency. We will be chatting with the creators on Wednesday so stay tuned for more on how they created this unique game.
