Happy Monday everybody!!!!! The Mistress had a most excellent weekend and has some extra stride in her walk today!!!! For a Monday? Anywho...... with all the pool festivities going on, it got me to thinking of the roadside motels, you know, the ones that used to be chic in an odd way, with a groovy decor theme and had memorable architecture and design? There was a time it was cool to say in them, swim in the pools and look cute with that little boofont up do and cat eye glasses. Makes me want to be Sharon Stone's character out of Casino when she ran away from her husband and ended up in a swank roadside palace. The Mistress would not be well received in one of these places. The wives would, for sure, know of the tangle web I would be weaving to snag her hubby!!!! I'm sure some of these place might still exist from the retro groovy years of yester year,but around these parts they are now mostly the " no tell motels" used for the seedy to rent for the hour, or the night, if one wants to risk bed bugs! I'm sure some still do exist through historical preservation, but probably not many. And the new ones? Let's face, they don't quite have the charm these dames did. Grab your cock-a-tail....lets look......
Sahara Hotel,Phoenix,AZ
The Ascot Luxury Motel, Atlantic City,NJ
Coronet Motel-Palo Alto ,CA
The Ramada Inns- El Paso,TX
Anchor Village Resort- Branson,MO
Stardust Motel- Desert Hot Springs, CA
These places all have the feeling of scenes from a cheap 70's porn don't they? If some of these rooms could talk.....if their even still there! Tootles!
Drop a quarter into the slot and experience the Magic Fingers Vibrating Bed!
ReplyDeleteMj, when you stick two rolls of quarters in, your pass the therapeutic benefits of the bed, when you have your toys with you!
DeleteI think my parents and I stayed at that Ramada in El Paso...I'm sure I stole their bible.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what it means if you steal the Bible?
Delete"These places all have the feeling of scenes from a cheap 70's porn don't they?"
ReplyDeleteYou say that like it's a bad thing =)
opps, I forgot. Did you film one there once?
Deletelove the old look and feel of these kind of like stepping back in time
ReplyDeleteI love the look of these, I'd love to stay at one, I'd bagsy number three down and wear my clackitiest heels and tightest pencil skirt.
ReplyDeleteThey sort of do have the sound of high heel clacking don't they?
DeleteI stayed at that Ramada Inn in El Paso, TX once in the mid-70s with my family! I don't remember too much about it, only that it was on the way to San Antonio where most of my relatives lived at the time.
ReplyDeleteThey look like something out of "Mad Men."
ReplyDeleteI would know nothing of a no tell motel.....as you know!
ReplyDeleteWhat's even more scary is that I remember some of these postcards and places from when I was a wee one!
ReplyDeleteOh what memories Mistress!!!!! Like the crossroads at Pruner's Cottages where I stayed, multiple points of appeal intersect in these postcards. The quaintness is about equal in the cards themselves and the motels they picture -- both associated with memories of road trips long past, where the first thing one did after checking in was rush to the room to grab the stationery. Even the most humble places gave you at least a postcard.
ReplyDeleteAnd the real good ones gave you coins for the bed to start!
DeleteSome of that stretch of Sepulveda is like a time warp. Brings me back to the days when motels advertised "Color T.V! and We Have Air!
ReplyDeleteThese places do have the feeling of the Mistress with a hot boy and a stacked do with thoughts of heaven on her mind....well,,,for at least the next three hours!
ReplyDeletewere you there??? The room was awful dark!
DeleteI know it so well, I know the hustle so well. Stunt like I'm workin' overnighters right by the motel!!!!
ReplyDeleteI swear, I can still smell the sweat from the Falcon Studio actors!
ReplyDeletethat's not sweat........
DeleteAhhhhhhh, the days of the past where she fixes her hair to look good for someone who waits in a car to go to a motel.
ReplyDeleteDo you realise many many guys stole my....heart, yes thats it my heart at a motel!!!!! These are great, nice post!
ReplyDeleteRemember when if you spend another night at the Motel 6, it's five dollars extra to get the porno flicks.
ReplyDeleteAnd you know what? they were never worth the extra $5
DeleteI love retro motels, such a nice time.Vodka-$19.99. Motel-$34.99. Condoms-$3.99. Finding Out he swallows... PRICELESS!!!!! Screw Visa, It Pays To Discover!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMiss Moorecock, are you off your meds again, such langauge!
DeleteI picture my mother here with her Aqua Net!
ReplyDeleteyou know all my good linens came from these fine estabtishments!
ReplyDeleteThe Ascot Luxury Motel is a good cheap motel close to the boardwalk. It's a one minute walk from the board walk, right next to the tropicana. Only thing that was bothering me is the bad smell inside elevator.
