My favorite Christmas tracks are nostalgic, particularly the ones from the 1950s through the early 1970s that remind me of my early childhood. This is why I love the original WPIX Yule Log, a Christmas Eve television tradition since 1966. Originally conceived by WPIX General Manager Fred Thrower to bring old-fashioned holiday hearth experiences to New Yorkers, the "classic" WPIX playlist - like the Disneyland and Magic Kingdom Main Street Christmas loops compiled by "voice of Disneyland" Jack Wagner - brings many of my absolute favorite Christmas recordings together in a single, quirky package.

- [Outfits of the Season: Retired Trashy Diva dresses](https://www.strangegirl.com/2014/05/25/outfits-of-the-season-retired-trashy-diva-dresses/) - I love Trashy Diva. I love Trashy Diva most of all when I can get the designs I want on sale. Usually, getting exactly what you want at a really amazing price means walking a very fine line. Sometimes, your size sells out before it hits the discount rack. Other times, a decent sale presents itself, but you wonder if you might save more money if you wait until Black Friday, or end-of-season clearance sales...and the same thing happens. Last year, I waited too long on two great Trashy Diva styles, and thought I'd never be able to find them in my size again. Turns out I was wrong! I was able to get the Obi dress in a beautiful orchid silk and the adorable gingham Norma Jean dress without having to buy secondhand. And, I got them both on GOOD sale!
