Modern dress shoes are a serious problem for me. The vintage dress shoes from my MIL who wears the same size as me, has given me, fit much better and vintage sandals fit even better. Ideally I'd wear a 35½ but we don't have half sizes here so I make do with EU36 (some foreign vintage shoes say...

My dad was supposed to get me that one and I was really excited about it but my dad didn't know that you're supposed to open those two-tube packages to check that what it says on the outside, is also what you'll find inside. Instead I got Love That Pink which is a nice yellow based pink that...

I've switched from MAC's Dubonnet in amplified creme to Hang Up Cremesheen when the temperatures rose above 0+C to Lady Bug Lustre when the temperatures rose above 18C. The lighter brighter red seems to suit me when I have a "tan"/not my jaundiced winter complexion. I find that the more color...

I didn't like the original after reading the book so for once I'm not afraid of watching a new adaptation of a book even if there's already an older film but if they set it in another decade it'll be unwatchable to me regardless of who directs the film or who's cast.

Thanks for sharing. I'd like to after seeing Lisa Eldridge's youtube series on vintage make-up

I LIED ABOUT MY HEIGHT!!! Not really, but I miscalculated it and got my 147cm to be 4'10"ft when in fact I'm only about 4'8"ft (147cm = 58 minus 1/12th" aprox.). Here I was thinking that 3" heels could raise me above 5ft but they'll only make me 4'11"ft. It doesn't really matter because I've...

I got in to TNG before watching the originals. I couldn't get in to DS9 or any of the other spin offs. I recently watched a bunch of old TNG episodes on youtube and stayed up until late at night to catch as many of the old TNG episodes that some Danish station aired. I'm surprised at how many...

It was just a rolling text on our 6am news. Don't know if they'll even mention her later. Younger actors and actresses with shorter careers get more mention.:confused: I know old people die all the time but it's always a shock. Bless her soul.

rue, I really like that. You make me want to grow out my hair to just past shoulders again.

I don't know if old fragrances are reformulated or if I'm just not accustomed to fragrances pre-70s. Most fragrances I like are from around the 1990s when I first began to use them regularly.

I haven't tried it, don't know if it's still around but I'm curious about Wind Song Perfume by Prince Matchabelli because it was supposedly Patsy Cline's favorite and she's one of my favorite female singers.

Agree! They're overrated. I'd started typing when I saw that someone else called them overrated as well. I don't dislike everything from the mid 60s-70s just The Beatles.:p I don't mind the lack of originality, hardly any of my idols wrote their own music or invented something new, but at...

Don't worry, it's not bad down here, but then I've never known differently.

I never tire of Patti Page's voice. Love After Midnight. Funny how after searching on youtube for Andy Williams I find that he's covered many of the same songs as Patti Page. I enjoy listening to both equally which surprised me because I usually prefer which ever version I heard first.

How could I forget THE CARS When I was a pre-teen I told someone I liked it because it had a genreless sophisticated appeal. Don't even know what I meant by that.
