You come on like a dream, peaches and cream
Lips like strawberry wine
You're sixteen, you're beautiful and you're mine.
---Ringo Starr, "You're Sixteen" (1974) (He was 34--ed.)

   I had a delicious strawberries and cream while in Panama.  Peaches are also important there; I had peach ice cream at Nikko's.
   OED has "peaches and cream," as in a complexion, from 1901 George Ade.

First page:  Her complexion certainly was better.  There was no question of pink and white, it is true, but the dusky, muddy look was clearing away.  As it did so, one observed how delicate was the tracery of her eyebrows, how full and smooth were her temples.  Her lips, too, grew as scarlet as ripe barberries.  But the great charm was her magnificent coloring.  It was not that of milk and roses; say, rather, of peaches and cream.

   A scarlet one gives a glow to a pale face, a blue one gives a rather cold look, a white one brings out all the color, a mauve one is rather trying to anybody who has not peaches and cream in the way of a complexion,...

   I was looking at the American Airlines "Sky Mall" catalog (www.skymall.com).  There was an ad for a "Sonic Mole Chaser."  The mole took one look at the thing and declared, "There goes the neighborhood!"
   I remember the 1960s Columbus cartoon, but I forget where it comes from.
