Swinger Austin Powers
Yesterday, we talked about being a sixties swinger. Here is an example of a typical swinger. In Austin Powers'
case, he is a character played by Mike Myers. Austin is a throwback to the sixties, and fits in better back then.

Be a Swinger This Fall
The days are shorter. It’s getting colder. The rain is coming back. Time to spend more time indoors, but doing what? Besides reading my blog, of course. :) Well, how about being a swinger? No, not that kind of swinger. The kind from the sixties, a hipster, or maybe even a beatnik.
Like this guy:
Or this guy:
So, what am I talking about, exactly? Well, be sophisticated, but have a little fun. And what should a swinger do for fun?
To start with, you need the right music. You can try Swinging Pop Standards (like the Rat Pack). Or, if that is not to your liking, there is Silk Radio/. Or, you can Build Your Own listen to a few channels.
Now, what to drink? How about a martini or cocktail? If you don’t drink, make it without alcohol.
Okay, you got the music, you got a drink. Now what? You can watch a movie. Any of the James Bond movies from the sixties would work. Or Ocean's Eleven or Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In.
If you don’t feel like watching a movie, then play some poker. You can play Texas Hold'Em for free at: msn.com. If you see me there, you can watch me lose. :)
We’ll wrap this up with a song from Old Blue Eyes.
