Well. It's excellent. My favorite part, so far, has to do with Carrie Nation, an older woman (in Victorian garb, no less) who would go into bars and, well, smash them.

Now, if someone on Etsy would just make tiny bathtubs for the serving of gin, would I have a theme viewing party for you!

hahaha! I've never seen her picture, but I'm pretty sure I've heard of her. If it's the same person, I think she used a hatchet to destroy the bars? She might be wearing a dress, but look at her face - she means business. It's almost like she's daring you to try and stop her. I know I wouldn't want to get in her way! :)
Loved the Lois Long excerpts. She could certainly bring the 1920s snark. I laughed out loud several times.
I loved the sign over bars that said, "All nations welcome--except Carrie." The whole series is so much fun, especially while sipping gin.
Ha! Well, that is one way to share your opinion. *Looks for something immoral to smash with my stapler*
I caught some of the documentary. It looked interesting. Thanks for the recommendation--I'll have to try to catch it sometime.
Lol. I sort of can imagine her doing it, her expression is very acrid, even if she's dressed in Victorian garb.
I'd love to watch that doc, though I doubt it will be broadcasted in The Netherlands ;p.
I am enjoying this show. I love looking at the archival footage of people in the "saloons."
Yes, Joy, Carrie Nation did carry a little hatchet. There was a great shot of her holding it on the show.
Total bad ass.
Um, that didn't want people to drink.
