What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
"The Best Man". 1964 political movie with Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson. Interesting fictional movie about behind the scenes the election of the nominee for President. Surprisingly adult themes for 1964, if you read between the lines. Worth seeing, especially at this time of year. And...- madame babette

1915 Black Felt Fedora,Frogline Hatters,Unisex named after Mayme Taylor
This is actually still available. Just go to sellers other items and it will show up. Don't know why Ebay is showing as "ended because of an error in the listing". All I did was move it to an auction format. Oh well!- madame babette

Ladies, what are you doing this evening?
Doing some restoration on my latest acquisition of a 1920s velvet cloche hat because I just cannot wait to wear it. The lining needs re-stitching (falling out) and I hope I can get to it before it gets dark. I hate to sew at night. Maybe I can get some time to write some thank you cards...- madame babette

Terms Which Have Disappeared
David, do they actually have a sign that says "NOTIONS"? If so, that is great to know. Notions counters at one time had a lot more than just sewing needs. I wonder... How do the notions areas of Walmart and grocery stores differentiate themselves from a "sewing" area or department? Or are...- madame babette

Terms Which Have Disappeared
As a collector and avid reader of antique and very vintage books on millinery, hat making, sewing, home arts, general house decor, upholstery and home restorations, I often read the following phrase when following directions and instructions on a given project: "You can find all the needed...- madame babette

Felt hats in summer..
Hi, Well, this is an interesting thread, which raises good questions. I have not read all the replies but wanted to give a few thoughts so pardon me if this has been raised previously. Certainly it is perfectly fine to wear a felt hat in the summer, it is a tradition that goes back well over...- madame babette

Hat etiquette for *today*
I heartily, and with a smile, disagree with this comment. It has interest to a great many people, and importance to some. As another Jersey native, I also have never heard of a Cowboy church, not even in the Pine Barrens!- madame babette

What is This Hat Style Called?
I would love to help you put a name to your hat. Can you post a photo of just the hat, not being worn on a head? It is difficult to see it on all that lovely hair. The shape looks a bit like a Glengarry, or a military cap. Is the scarf long, and does it attach in front of the neck? If so it is a...- madame babette

Do you go Commando?
I love it! I recall a story about Tallulah where she called up a young actor to come over and read the lines with her for the movie they were appearing in together. When he opened the door she completely naked. You can figure out what happened next..... So Harlow or Tallulah, they sound much...- madame babette

Hats and Drinks - A Match Made in Heaven
Now here is THE perfect match! Forget the Moscow Mule. Have you ever had a drink named the "Mamie Taylor"? Bourbon, Ginger Beer and Fresh Lime juice, on the rocks in a tall glass. This drink was invented circa 1900 by a bartender (his name escapes me at the moment) and was named after the...- madame babette

Do you go Commando?
I wonder if we cannot come up with a more womanly term for going without undies. My preference has always been "Going Harlow". She loved to go without undies or a bra!- madame babette
