Color photo of the “Rocket Honeymoon” float entered by the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs in the Tournament of Roses Parade, Pasadena, California, January 1, 1958:

Let’s start off 2025 with a colorful photo of a float from the annual Tournament of Roses Parade at that takes place in Pasadena, California every New Year’s Day. This shot was taken on January 1, 1958, and shows a float called “Rocket Honeymoon” which had been entered by the fraternity organization, Odd Fellows, and their women’s auxiliary, Rebekahs. The stats on this float are amazing: 100,000 chrysanthemum blossoms, 4,000 vanda orchids, 5,000 poinsettia petals, 4,000 red carnations, and 30,000 stock blossoms. I’m not surprised this float won first prize in its division!

Interiors of the Carnival Ecstasy cruise ship, designed by the legendary Joe Farcus (1991)
Mainly designed in the Deco-Luxe style popular in the 1980s-early 1990s, along with Diner-Kitsch in the Metropolis Bar, and the a sort of ’Victorian explorer’s lounge’ look in the library. The ship was remodeled in 2009, and then scrapped in 2022.
