14 LOUISVILLE MAGAZINE 5.16 INTER-OFFICE MEMO Practical effects in movies. No matter how impressive your CGI creation seems now, it will always look cheesy within a span of fve years. Compare: the digital troll in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone from 2001 and the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park from 1993. Jenny Kiefer Editorial intern Clove cigarettes and ear X-tacy. In that order, so I can fully relive my youth. Elizabeth Myers Louisville.com editor The BMW Isetta was the ingenious micro-car of the 1950s and early '60s. You could walk right out the front of the car! Suki Anderson Art director Gas rationing, for reasons too obvious to state. Mary Welp Contributing editor 1. Dietrich's on Frankfort Avenue, which had the best flet mignon ever. 2. The band Jellyfsh. Chris Witzke Photographer From its inception in 1970 to its end in 2011, I was an avid All My Children fan. I have fond college memories of a roomful of people gathered in a friend's dorm room to view and hash episodes. When I entered the full-time- job world, my trusty VCR was set to record, so I could keep up with the Pine Valley drama. I miss my longtime soap friends: Erica, Tad (swoon), Dixie, Opal, Ruth and Joe, Jesse and Angie, Jackson, Adam/Stuart and so many more. Ginny Lutes Advertising account executive There's a sound in music I really miss — call it aggressive soul — that combines chunky guitar chords, horns (or harmonica), boogie piano and strong backbeat drumming. I'm thinking of Sam and Dave, Wilson Pickett, Ruth Brown, Eddie Floyd, Fats Domino, Otis. Last year Raphael Saadiq captured it in "Stone Rollin'," but I haven't heard it from anyone else. Can't we get those funky groove groups back? Jack Welch Copy editor Lines shaved in eyebrows like in the early '90s. Everyone is so obsessed with eyebrows, might as well make them more interesting by adding some imperfections. Mickie Winters Photographer A world without social media. I don't hate all of it (I love me some baby pictures and political snark), but I'm so glad I went through high school and college without publicly documenting my mistakes — poor dating choices, an ill-conceived pixie cut, a drunken "hot legs" contest, passing thoughts I felt were profound, and nasty impulses that if there had been an outlet I would've posted in the name of being clever. I have two small children now. I sincerely hope the whole darn thing implodes and my kids can have a fawed personal life in private, with no expectation or temptation to broadcast it. Anne Marshall Senior writer Anyone who actually lived during this era might dispute this, but…disco! Bianca Jagger's style, Donna Summer's voice and a whole lot of colors and dancing is what Louisville needs. Maybe just for a weekend and then the fur and fares can be worn sparingly. Hey, Fourth Street Live, can we borrow that giant disco ball? Mary Chellis Austin Deputy editor Inspired by Germantown (see page 46): What should make a comeback? derbydinner.com
