Just wanted to say, thanks for posting those pics. That is quite a nice collection and display. I really enjoyed viewing those. I have been collecting for about ten years myself, mostly for reenacting, and mostly with repros, but have no room for display in a small house crowded with...

'Band of Brothers' was so good, that I am not expecting 'The Pacific' to be near as good. So probably, my lowered expectations will be surpassed, and I'll end up liking it a lot. In any case, I've been looking forward to seeing it for over a year or more since I first heard of it.

Don't feel bad. An old girlfriend did the same thing to me. I was really surprised to find myself become a big fan of the show. 'Firefly' was pretty good too...

Thanks! I totally missed that! So, these fashions are still being made much like in the classic style days. Available and being sold. I think that means that we are very much seeing these lines and sillouettes still serving to inspire designers today. That makes me happy. :)

Exactly! Inspiration, homage, or whatever you want to call it is not a bad thing. It has been going on in a big way from time to time, one way or another since at least the Italian Renaissance, and more likely since the beginning of time. I suppose you could argue about how well any...

I love these shots. Like a lot of us, I wish they would credit the clothing. Whenever I see a good-looking modern vintage-style man's suit, I think "Ralph Lauren", but the women's clothing? I have no idea. Anyone care to guess where the 'Claudette Colbert' outfit comes from? As far as...

Great photo! By the way, you know who else had a "good 40's style mustache"... ;)

Do you have any photos of your office posted in one of these threads? I'd love to see that. Myself, I work as a manager of an accounting department for a big distribution company. Our dress code is "business casual", and like most California corporate offices the emphasis is on "casual". I...

Helios Wow! There are a lot of beautiful watched posted here. Here is my Wehrmacht issued Helios, serial number D32432H: There are many like it, but this one is mine...

Happy Birthday! We hope you had a great one! Happy Birthday! Love, Johnny and La Trini

Hmmm... I am interested in hearing Baron Kurtz' input on this thread... ;)

Greene and Greene 'The Third Man' is about my favorite film of all time anyway, so I guess it's my favorite Greene film. I've read most of his novels, and really like him as a writer. So outside of that one, I think I end up a little disappointed by most of the adaptations I have seen. I was...

The Point I just read and really enjoyed this article. I am firmly in the Baron's camp on this, and I think that a lot of posters misread the peice. She is not really writing about "the fifties" (i.e. 1946 through 1966) at all. She's really writing about the "Baby-busters" (or what I still...
