Thank you!

This is actually not as bad as it sounds! I do it sometimes and it always works out well. I wear a thick-ish, no shorter than mid calf-length pleated skirt. Underneath, I wear some very thin pants (think leggings), then I have these fantastic knee socks from target that are a similar color as my...

Hello Gentlemen, I'm looking into getting a swell new shaving kit for my boyfriend for Christmas. He goes for sort of a Gable/Powell mustache, but has trouble with it occasionally, therefore I think he would enjoy a shaving kit. Could any of you gentlemen recommend a kit that's helpful for...

Why yes! Thank you, kindly.

I've never understood why Gable never did any Noir. There's just no reason for it! He would have been perfect in a noir.

....Although I'm a ditz and it doesn't look like anyone who is posting in here actually lives anywhere near LA .. Oh well, maybe one of them will stumble in.

Yes! Question! Does anyone know who cuts a good middy in the Los Angeles area?? I went to Frenchy's thinking they would know what I was talking about, but to my surprise, they don't know a whole lot more about vintage hair than other salons. I did my best to explain it and they did their best...

Oh, nice! I live on St. Andrews between 6th and Wilshire. I love it.

I often refer to myself as "a gin guy" (though it gets me odd looks, being female) Hendricks martini, extra dirty.

Oh! I got a Jack Lalanne electric juicer for my birthday last year! It's a bitch to clean, but it makes such fabulous cocktails.

Oh goodness!!!! I'm glad that my boyfriend keeps a stockpile of assorted bitters in our cupboard. Otherwise, I don't know what we would do with our evenings!

Hahaha. That's probably best!

Grew up in Santa Monica. We have a love-hate relationship. I currently reside in lovely Koreatown. Just two blocks of the beautiful Wiltern Theater. I get to walk by it every day and try to imagine Gable standing outside on the eve of it's opening.
