Ladies, what are your 2017 resolutions?
Hello Ladies, For many, 2016 has been a crap year. I am among those who for many, many reason are glad to see it go.

Penny Dreadful- *spoilers* (duh)
This show deserves it own thread. This show is a lot of what I have wanted for a long time, a return to the classic source materials of the horror legends we all know and love.

Have television shows finally surpassed movies?
I used to love going to the theater and watching a film. It was an event, or at the very least, a treat for myself. Now, I'm bogged down by the glimpse of cellphones in my eyes as some knob-head takes a photo of the screen, people talking and $15+ ticket prices. All of that before I've even...- Lady Day

Maker's Mark lowering proof to meet demand
Okay, I KNOW Maker's isn't the best bourbon, it's barely mediocre, but its nostalgic. http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2013-02-11/news/chi-makers-mark-water-20130211_1_maker-s-mark-jim-beam-bourbon-drinkers What say you, wise old Lounge?

http://www.flickr.com/photos/roseaposey/7173294256/in/photostream/ I've seen this image for months making its wave over again on the tubal interwebs and I was curious how you ladies felt about it and the perceptions of skirt length.

Humility is a sign of beauty.
I got to vent here, ladies. I'm getting tired of people who just have to rattle off every instance of what they do/can do/ have done in order to feel included in a topic they know nothing about. You know the type: you mention an interest and they have to immediately counter with, "My sister... -

American Roots Music
I guess it's more of a sound or even a movement rather than an actual genera because its such a diverse mix of blues, gospel, country, bluegrass, jazz and folk from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s. It's becoming a cornerstone of my listening preference, and I'm seeking out vintage and modern... -

Custom Blended Makeup
Has anyone had personalized makeup blended for them? Im thinking of having a lipstick made in the future. Im sick of the trial and error I get with colors. Neutrals look awful on me because their tones are more brown and plum. Corals and pinks make me looks silly, so Im stuck with reds, but... -

The 1950s: The gateway era.
Often when I meet new vintage ladies around and about I ask them how they got started in all this crazy madness. For me it was thinking I wanted a circle skirt, a tight sweater and a scarf around my neck. I wanted that iconic 50s look. When I first started this I was all, "I cant stand those...- Lady Day
