...air hissing soft through the rolled—down window like
silk velvet slipping hot
into my handbag, velvet fine as a fingerprint whorl,
maroon as the long dusty cars
that sharked these avenues, mildewed upholstery like
it was always raining night,
the insides ripped out of everything. But I was talking
about the red velvet jacket
"Red Velvet Jacket"

Who I'd like to meet:
How about someone who knows how to do the Madison ? Going to a 50's Party ? You gotta know the 50's slang.
Back Seat Bingo – Necking in the back seat of a car Boss – Great ! Big Daddy – an Older person Cat – a Hip person Cruisin' for a bruisin' – Looking for trouble Deuce - A 1932 Ford (hot-rodder) Dolly – Cute girl Duck Butt or D.A. - Hairstyle of greasers where hair in back is combed to the middle, then with end of comb, make a middle part. Flat-top - Men's hairstyle. A crew cut which is flat across the top Hep - With it, cool. Someone who knows the situation. Made in the shade - Success guaranteed Passion Pit - Drive-in movie theatre Pop the Clutch - Release the clutch pedal quickly so as to get a fast start Souped up - A car modified to go fast Word from the bird - The truth What's buzzin, cuzzin - What's new?
Going out with your steady or with the whole gang here's some popular date night hot spots from the 50's. (although I was a little kid in the 50's I remember watching my teenage sister and brother getting ready for their nights out)
Drive in Movies - show off your cool car and your date while catching the latest movie. How about "Rock Around the Clock" or "Jailhouse Rock" or a scream fest like "Attack of the Crab Monster." (I remember being in the back seat at the drive dressed in my pajamas with a box of Ritz crackers and peanut butter.)
School Dance - twist, jive or boogie at the "Hop". Some popular dances are the stroll, the mash potatoe, the swim, the twist, the hulley gulley, the watusi, the jerk. (We practiced in front of the mirror for hours before braving it in the school gym)
Record Parties - grab an arm load of 45's and practice lip synching to Connie Francis, "Lipstick on Your Collar" or "Stupid Cupid". The Supremes - how about "Baby Love" or "My Boyfriends Back" by Leslie Gore. (I remember using a butter knife as a mic - great for dramatic flourishes)
Malt Shop - chow down on burgers and fries, chocolate shake (two straws please) with a banana split to top it all off. (I still miss Schrafft's. It was the first place I was allowed to walk to to meet friends downtown.)
