'Cute as a bugs ear' is slang from the 30's. It is kind of odd isn't it?

cherry lips · May 20, 2011

^Yes, it sounds cute, but it probably isn't in reality (not that I would know)! Cute as a button I've heard, not so strange. It also reminds me of "Sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite" which I love.

Been ages since my last post, but i've been over my head with college and work and its now exam time to i'm really busy. But I took advice and have finally bought some brogues - really hard to find them in size 13! I eventually stumbled upon a website for "older gentlemen" that sold elasticated trousers and diabetic slippers, but also has an amazing range of leather shoes that go upto and beyond size 13!

please excuse my socks
Also recently inherited my grandfathers watch, its from the early 1950's and is very nice

Blushing Bugs

Don't be offended, cute as a bugs ear is a complement! It means, you are real cute, adorable, even sexy. Since bugs don't have ears, and it would be imposable to find one, that means you would be on an unattainable level of cuteness, far above the rest of us. Hope that clears things up and I hope I didn't make you blush!

^Why thank you! Otherwise I could always go to The Ugly Bug Ball:

First time posting a picture in this thread! Nothing full out, but, I wanted to show off my recent blouse purchase and you have to start somewhere, right?

^Beautiful! Is it forties? The embroidery looks so pretty.

Doing the Mister Freedom-style 'Les Apaches' look on a budget!

Lefty · May 22, 2011

Well done.

NancyLouise · May 22, 2011

Thanks, cherry lips! It seems to be from the 40s, if not it is definitely cut from a 40s pattern, and, yes, I love the soutache on it!! It's got some lovely delicate netting behind it too.
By the way, I love your look, you carry off the 60s as if you're in them

Aw, Rue, that means a lot coming from one of the star ladies of the board

Lottie · May 23, 2011

This picture is actually already more than a week old- and the only one from that event where i don't look dorky.

For the details- one with a very sheepish look:

Tomasso · May 23, 2011

Lordy, we got some pretty girls around here! :eusa_doh:

cherry lips · May 23, 2011

Thank you NancyLouise! Lottie, you look splendid! Love the neckline.
Jan, I'm crazy about your socks! Where did you buy them?

Lottie - you're looking great, especially with that look. :eusa_clap

BTW: Thought I spotted you on the Admiralbrücke a couple of days ago. Turned out I was wrong but since you live nearby I wouldn't have been surprised.

Lottie · May 23, 2011

Aw, thanks everyone

That's quite possible. I'm sorry I didn't notice you, I usually just march through the hipster hordes as fast as possible...

edit: argh, paying attention while reading might help...
