I’m Becky. I just moved to Jacksonville, FL from New Jersey. I knit and watch a lot of tv.

Obviously since this would be difficult for children, their mothers were brought in for the portrait.</p> <p>For reasons I cannot fathom, it was common for the mothers to be covered in cloth or a curtain. These fabric- covered matriarch were jokingly referred to as ‘Ghost Mums’.</p> </blockquote>http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20827610442http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20827610442Tue, 10 Apr 2012 00:41:28 -0400<iframe width="400" height="300" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/_tFkVIG3slo?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Appropriate video is appropriate. Happy Easter.</p> <p>This song is great, but I don’t really like this movie. Though I’m pretty sure Fred Astaire is the (albeit deceased) love of my life, I can’t forgive his character for treating Judy Garland’s Hannah Brown so very terribly. Aside from him being Fred Astaire, there’s nothing attractive about his character. He’s domineering, he puts her down, he tries to change her: he’s a jerk. I would have stuck with Peter Lawford and told Anne Miller to go to H-E-double hockey sticks.</p>http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20697768557http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20697768557Sun, 08 Apr 2012 00:55:00 -0400Easter ParadeIrving BerlinFred AstaireJudy GarlandEaster<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0hm7pxzNF1qbmua5o1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0hm7pxzNF1qbmua5o2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0hm7pxzNF1qbmua5o3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0hm7pxzNF1qbmua5o4_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0hm7pxzNF1qbmua5o5_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0hm7pxzNF1qbmua5o6_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p>I LOVE this moment.</p>http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20259422314http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20259422314Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:29:29 -0400SkinsCookEffyTVtelevisionUK<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rpzjETev1qg49w0o1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rpzjETev1qg49w0o2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rpzjETev1qg49w0o3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rpzjETev1qg49w0o7_r2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rpzjETev1qg49w0o8_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rpzjETev1qg49w0o9_r2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1rpzjETev1qg49w0o10_r2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://noelyb.tumblr.com/post/20251742860/a-message-to-planned-parenthood-womens-rights">noelyb</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong><small>A message to <strike>Planned Parenthood</strike> women’s rights supporters from President Obama.</small></strong></p> <p><strong><small><a href="http://youtu.be/naP2FbO8_-c">Watch the whole video here.</a></small></strong></p> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20258920454http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20258920454Sat, 31 Mar 2012 21:20:22 -0400President Obamaplanned parenthood<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/uZfRaWAtBVg?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://fuckyeahhistorycrushes.tumblr.com/post/20232305879/too-late-to-apologize-a-declaration-this-is-kind">fuckyeahhistorycrushes</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Too Late to Apologize: A Declaration</strong></p> <p>This is kind of old news now, but still incredibly great stuff!</p> </blockquote>http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20233135153http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20233135153Sat, 31 Mar 2012 13:18:31 -0400awesomehistoryThomas JeffersonGeorge III<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1onkm02iz1qavkujo1_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1onkm02iz1qavkujo2_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1onkm02iz1qavkujo3_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1onkm02iz1qavkujo4_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/>http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20210172707http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20210172707Sat, 31 Mar 2012 00:32:08 -0400the hunger gameshilariousI love Jennifer Lawrence.<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0ns8sFPYf1qhcrb0o1_500.gif"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://dfilms.tumblr.com/post/19048383134">dfilms</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>DuckTales</em>, 1987</p> </blockquote>http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20209964482http://beckitron.tumblr.com/post/20209964482Sat, 31 Mar 2012 00:27:22 -0400disneyducktalesgifnostalgia<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1pqa3kOrn1qf5y35o1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://blog.thedaily.com/post/20189379330/we-want-one-prince-harry-a-6-day-old-pygmy">thedailyfeed</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>We want one!
