Last night we packed up our Frigidaire Flair in a UCrate as carefully as possible. It will be travelling from Lexington, MA to Lexington, KY leaving at some point today. May it have a safe journey. We were sad to see it go, but are so happy that we found a good home for it.

Today’s “Kitchen of Tomorrow”

Although this video does not feature the Frigidaire Flair specifically, it does focus on the Frigidaire Dream Kitchen of tomorrow. Also, Paul Lukas wrote a piece entitled Today’s “Kitchen of Tomorrow” on Fast Company website that focuses on the visionary corporate marketing films in the Fifties and Sixties and compares them to current research for the Kitchen of the Future at places like MIT. He points out that fifty years after these videos were produced it is clear that the “kitchen of tomorrow may be more about preserving the domestic values of yesterday.”

The Out of this World (1964) journey into the future on YouTube features many different variations of the Frigidaire Flair. At the end a woman daydreams of the ultramodern kitchen being used around the world and it is obvious that nobody had their politically correct radar on back in the sixties.

The Frigidaire Flair discussion that was previously at Obvious Diversion has moved to Frigidaire Flair | Google Groups. It appears to have low activity, but there are over 30 members. Also, I’m not sure if I ever mentioned that I have a list of all the useful Flair websites that I have found on del.icio.us.

I hit the Frigidaire Flair jackpot! I found a clip from Bewitched on YouTube that shows Samantha cooking. It is a video called Sam & Darrin – You Set Me Free. You have to click on the link to view this video. There are lots of love scenes from the show set to music.

The Bewitched Frigidaire Flair

I hunted down a few Bewitched YouTube videos where the Frigidaire Flair makes an appearance. The oven is in the first minute of this clip that seems to be a strange promo for the show.

Here is a sketch that I did of our Frigidaire Flair for my new CafePress Store. I plan to add some EasterKiwi items soon.
