    Families of the Lounge

    I''m so sorry for the tragedy your family is going through. Make sure your family is safe, and take advantage of any victim advocates your District Attorney's Office and/or law enforcement agencies have to offer. I think you should indeed go ahead and howl. And be strong!

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    StrayCat, are you going to get a rotary? We have one and I love it. :love: Granted, it's a candlestick phone and weighs a ton, so conversations aren't long and drawn out, but that's not a bad thing. It's an early 1930's, Western Electric with a bullnose and a separate ring box; all original...

    Sunglasses, lens colors and poloarization

    I stopped wearing polarized lenses because they make digital readouts (in the car, on the gas pumps) difficult to read. What helped me choose my next lenses was that the eye doc had big, round glass and plastic samples of colors, both polarized and non-polarized lenses. Take them outside and...

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    My parents had decidedly English roots. I learned later that I was adopted and that my birth parents had Greek and Irish roots. When I met my birth father, he certainly had the Irish in him - ruddy complexion and red, red hair. My birth mother's roots appear to be Canadian and...

    Vintage beauty tips for when time and money are scarce?

    Until you get up and running with sewing, you could try these simple "oomphs": Red Lipstick - A little bit can make you look far from frumpy, even when you have on a simple outfit. Even more so, as Sheeplady suggested, with a vintage hair cut. Vintage Collars - quick, (usually) affordable way...

    Excuse me Miss, do you Blog?

    I love the article you posted! In fact, I just got back home after riding my bicycle to a local winery for a summer concert - short distance, warm night, music… two wheels was the only way to go - so your post was especially delightful. Along the same lines as your blog post on women and...

    If you were candy....

    Lakrits! They look like M&Ms, are chocolate on the inside like M&Ms, but the hard, black shell on the outside is licorice flavored. Nothing special to look at, but the combo of the chocolate and licorice is surprisingly irresistible.

    Have television shows finally surpassed movies?

    The only film I've been interested in seeing lately is the documentary The Galapaos Affair: Satan Came to Eden - The header describes it as "Darwin meets Hitchcock," and it's punctuated with some great archival photos and home movies from 1929 - 1934 to chronicle the true story. The diaries...

    Missing posters

    Kind of off-topic, but your comment about the "high school boys" brought to mind the now closed "Women in Men's Fedoras" thread. That was one particular thread that went unmoderated for quite some time and any decorum went out the "locker room" window. so to speak, before someone closed it...

    Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)

    The PR threads are moderated quite well. I've a appreciated the links and photos that the guys have provided and rolled my eyes at some of the comments made by the men too. And when the guys get rolling on a thread, it can become "man centeric" quickly. Also, at any given time, there can be 4...

    Everyday Women of the Golden Era

    It is indeed a great photo. The women were really female firefighters, but you're correct in that wasn't taken on December 7. I remember some curiosity about it when it was published a couple of years ago. The link below is to a short 2011 article about the photo, the women in it (from left...

    Ladies show us your best.

    Handsome couple without a doubt, and you are especially adorable. Hope the venue wasn't too warm for your "cover up."

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    I don't disagree, especially in regards to a court room trial setting. However, it could be said that the rumpled attorney was so dedicated to preparing her case the attention to own attire took a backseat. Having said that, I observed high school students in our local courtroom on a class...

    Dita Von Teese

    The media presents an unrealistic and often unhealthy portrayal of an "ideal" woman. However, I don't think Bethenny's appearance is media driven as much as ego driven. She's been hungry for the public eye for nearly a decade and sadly, has opted for too many cosmetic procedures to her face...

    Dita Von Teese

    Dita is beginning to look a bit like Ann Miller.

    What did you get for Christmas?

    Well, if I may speak Frankly (heh heh), that's an absolutely charming home!! It sure seems to have retained much of its 1925 charm and is just waiting to be enjoyed by you. My Christmas was a bit more pocket-sized: bakelite dress clip and a 1920's choker.
