This remarkable piece of equipment is called the Kuba Komet. It was manufactured by the KUBA Corporation in Wolfenbüttel, West Germany, from 1957 to 1962. The recommended retail price for the Komet was 2,798 Deutschmarks, or roughly $1250, which correlates to about $10,500 in today’s dollars. (According to this Census Bureau report of 1960, the average income for a family in 1958 was $5,100.) It was a hefty item, weighing 289 pounds and is a little more than seven feet wide. It featured a television, a record player, a radio, eight speakers and a “TV tuner” in the bottom cabinet—if you were willing to pay a little extra you could get a “magneto-phone wire recorder” (a forerunner to the reel-to-reel and cassette audio recorders) as well as a remote control. One of the Komet’s best features was that the big “sail” section of the unit could swivel. The blonde-colored wood is solid maple; the darker wood is wenge, a rare form of timber found only in sub-Saharan Africa. Here’s a picture of the Kuba Komet with its bottom drawer open: There are only about ten of them in existence, about half of them in North America. The Early Television Museum in...

The 1968 movie ‘Barbarella’ is known as not only one of Jane Fonda’s most memorable roles, but also the pinnacle of sexy sci-fi costuming. Fonda played the titular role of Barbarella–a futuristic astronaut in the year 40,000 who is tasked with stopping the evil Durand Durand. Directed by her husband at the time, Roger Vadim, Fonda can be seen with minimal clothing for much of the movie. Although it was a critical and commercial failure at the time of its release, ‘Barbarella’ has gone on to become a cult classic. Jane Fonda’s costumes for the film were created by Jacques Fonteray and fashion designer Paco Rabanne. Inspired by armor and the 1960s women’s liberation movement, quite a few of the designs included unconventional materials. For example, a green leotard adorned with chain-linked rhodoid plastic fringing is one of the most memorable looks from the film. The barely there costumes also helped elevate Jane Fonda to sex symbol status. Take a look at some of these 1960s space age looks below. (via Fashion Gone Rogue)

Celebrities are just ordinary people....except they are rich, famous, beautiful, and incredibly talented. Celebrities also take amazing photos.
With today’s social and political climate, people are craving hope, joy, and unity now more than ever. In the past, the public has looked to entertainers during hard times to be distracted, or as means of a release of the day’s tensions, and often even as someone to aspire to.With so much tension and hate in the air (especially where politics are involved) it’s nice to look back on a simpler time in America.
