    What is your vermouth brand of choice?

    Something about autumn turns me onto sweet vermouth, though i haven't had the chance to try much variety. I got a bottle of Noilly Prat recently, but i'm back to the Martini & Rossi again. The flavor of the Noilly Prat was good, perhaps better than the Martini, but i found it cloyingly sweet. It...

    Why the South?

    That's interesting (i love charts and maps, so doubly so). And hello to a fellow Arkansan! Though i'm an immigrant here also.

    Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?

    Well, perhaps my favorite bars were Irish pubs (particularly after they instituted the smoking ban. Not trying to start that debate here, but not feeling like i'm coming down with the flu does wonders for my ability to enjoy an establishment), where i generally drank Guinness and sometimes Harp...

    Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?

    This idea seems to me to be related to casual dress in general. Generally speaking, younger women can get away with, societally, showing more skin than older women. So it's easy for young women to try to look sexy while still being extremely casual simply by wearing less. If you prefer to stay...

    You Big Softy! - Your Favourite Soft Drinks

    Boylan's I know a number of people have mentioned Boylan's Root Beer already, but i'd like to jump on the bandwagon. I just discovered a wonderful little cafe in town, and it's the first place i've seen Boylan's available around here. It is excellent! And now i'm curious to try the birch beer...

    Are there ladies present who have non-retro bf's, husbands?

    I'm fairly new to the dressing retro (inspired) myself, but my girlfriend's been nice about it so far =). I don't suppose i would have felt comfortable enough to make such changes in my own style without her! On the other hand, i can't imagine her being very interested in dressing vintage...

    Do You Love Platform Shoes?

    Ha! Those shoes are great, Inky - so clever. Even so, i am absolutely not a platform girl. I'm so used to being short that it makes me a bit uncomfortable to be much taller ;). Plus, my girlfriend is taller than me, and i like it that way - but only barely, so i don't tend to wear much in the...

    Public Displays of Affection

    Though i don't want to derail the conversation to the subject of smoking, i think there is a material difference between the two. No matter how inappropriate i feel someone's displays of affection to be, it really is not going to harm me. On the other hand, while i have no moral issue or what...

    CONTEST #2: What date and time will the baby be born?

    Sep. 4th 11:40 am My brother was born exactly on his due date - Dad likes to say that is the only time either my mom or my brother has been on time for anything in their life! lol lol

    If Money Were No Object...?

    I must say that money is not the largest concern for me when it comes to food. That is not to say that i can necessarily afford to eat whatever i want, whenever i want - only that even if i could other issues would still prevent it. I am not fond of eating out, so time and energy are important...

    What is your eye color?

    Well, i tend not to notice eyes (i know, i must be the only girl in the world...), but i've been told mine change color. That is, fairly drastically - fram a hazel/brown/green to blue in certain circumstances. Regarding red-eye, one of my little after-school kids once asked me "Miss! are you...

    Perhaps we ought to remove the busses entirely; heaven knows people are always respectful and courteous when driving cars!

    your vintage Achilles heel

    I'm with Miss Neecerie! Not that i don't have problems with fit; only, i'd rather learn to alter the dresses than alter me =).

    Why the South?

    Atticus, that is an excellent quote! Foofoogal, we do have a bunch of southern tags here, don't we? Certainly. That is, unless you reveal to them that you are from Texas - they can be quite unreserved with their opinions on that count! ;)

    Your Signature Dish

    Oh, Missy Hellfire, i do miss beans being an integral part of breakfast, from my brief time in the UK! I eat/cook breakfast so seldom, though. I can make a mean french toast on a lazy saturday, though. I wonder if my girlfriend would think i'd gone crazy if i added beans into the lazy morning...
