Neopets (2003) (Source.)
A screenshot of IE6, open to Neopets' Explore page. The browser is branded with a red Q logo of some ISP, since browsers back then would let ISPs brand them to imply it was the ISP's legitimate software. Below menus and clearly labelled buttons, we have a labelled address bar, a links toolbar, a Google toolbar (with search and adblock built in!), a Yahoo toolbar (with search and common Yahoo links built in). The page shows a yellow sidebar with googie font (Pet Central, Create a Pet, Neomail, World, Explore, Chat, Games, Shops, News, Help, Login, Logout); a banner in the same googie font for Explore Neopia; an event ("Something has happened:" - image of a green brutish Neopet - "GRUNDO MUST EAT NEOPETS!!! GRUNDO FETCH NEOPETS FOR MASTER!"); and a map of Neopia, each having its own games and lore to explore. The taskbar shows 12 fast-start icons, three Internet Explorer windows, a notepad window, and a MSPaint window; the system tray shows 5 resident programs beside the clock.

This is a fun mashup of two competetong post war design trends - googie modernism and neo-colonial (there’s fun bit in the book Auntie Mame where said Auntie very politely rips a suburban family for having ahistorical neo-colonial kitsch)

gender is performance and I am
"Harry Fabian is an ambitious American tout and con man on the make in London. He maintains a fractured relationship with the honest Mary Bristol, and with nightclub owner and businessman Phil Nosseross, and with Nosseross's scheming wife, Helen. While attempting a con at a wrestling match, Fabian witnesses Gregorius, a veteran Greek wrestler, arguing with his son Kristo, who has organised the fight, and who effectively controls all wrestling in London. After denouncing Kristo's event as tasteless exhibitionism that shames the sport's Graeco-Roman traditions, Gregorius leaves with Nikolas, a fellow wrestler. Fabian catches up with the two and befriends them, thinking that he could host wrestling in London without interference from Kristo if he could persuade Kristo's father to support the enterprise. Fabian approaches Nosseross and Helen with his proposal, then asks for an investment. Nosseross is incredulous, but at his wife's instigation he offers to provide half of the required £400 if Fabian can match it. Desperate, Fabian asks for money from Figler, a panhandler and unofficial head of an informal society of beggars, Googin, a forger, and Anna, a Thameside smuggler, but none will help him. Fabian is eventually approached by Helen Nosseross, who offers the £200 in exchange for getting a licence to continue running her own nightclub, having obtained the money by selling an expensive fur coat her husband recently bought for her. Fabian agrees but tricks her by having Googin forge the licence ." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_and_the_City "Night and the City is a 1950 British film noir directed by Jules Dassin and starring Richard Widmark, Gene Tierney and Googie Withers.[1] It is based on the novel of the same name by Gerald Kersh. Shot on location in London and at Shepperton Studios, the plot revolves around an ambitious hustler who meets continual failures." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_and_the_City

If you see this, post four female characters you love.
Googie Withers in ‘It Always Rains on Sunday’. Katie Johnson as Mrs Lopsided in ‘The Ladykillers’. Margaret Rutherford as Madame Arcati in ‘Blithe Spirit’. Clare Grogan as Susan in ‘Gregory’s Girl’.

Great stuff. I can't hear the name Googie Wither without thinking of the Porridge film joke about the escaped Oakes - "Don't worry. Before too long he'll be Googie Withers again."

Also I reckon the Golf section inspired 'Randall and Hopkirk'.

Thanks both! #ParsnipsOrMuffins

Preservation pal Mike Frankovich alerts us to an odd piece touting new development on "a parking lot." No address listed, but it's obviously the 1965 Googie style Shakers coffee shop by master architects Armet & Davis! pasadenanow.com/main/a-parki...

It's open! shakersrestaurant.net

I'd have gone mid-century modern. A googie white house. Get Eichler on the line.

I'm begging my fellow Americans to understand that nostalgia for retro aesthetics is not the same as wanting to go back to previous eras' values.

Like, I like that 50s retro, googie architecture stuff too. But I also like Civil Rights and environmental protections.

Sorry, I just saw this.
Thanks,
The ideas for the design are from looking at Mid-Century-Modern-Atomic designs. This is also called "Googie."
