    Handsome Fellas!

    Hm. I think a lot of it is the attitude and self-confidence a man has towards his clothes. If a guy is comfortable in a suit, he'll look it and it comes off sexy. If he's uncomfortable and choking on his tie, then the suit needs to go. But I'd say more than anything, a good hat worn right...

    That tune in your head

    I recently had the "Hut-Sut" song refrain stuck firmly in my head. Nothing else I listened to could do could get that sucker out. Nothing! And I also get Combat! music stuck in my head all the time, though usually, it's what I call the "walking through the woods on patrol" theme. I always...

    televisions

    Thanks all! I really dig those old sets, thanks for posting the pics! I wish I could get one of those!! My couch is 12 feet from the front of the tv screen, so plenty of room here (I have a long living room). I think I'll check out those Sony Wegas, as they've come up a couple times in this...

    televisions

    Okay, gang, I'm looking for your opinions/advice. My 50" tv bit the dust about two months ago and I'm in the market for a new one. Everything seems to be going HiDef and DLP and this, that, and the other, which is all very good until I put my old movies on, then the new sets look awful. My...

    Do your best/worst!

    Best: "Where'd you get the cute dress?" Worst: Best friend gives me very skeptical looks when I wear my hair up (I'm still practicing, so some of those looks are warranted). At least she stopped harrassing me about my hats. Oddest: I was walking my dogs wearing my WWII buckle boots and...

    Favorite Detective?

    Dana Andrews as Mark Dixon in "Where the Sidewalk Ends" Dick Powell as Marlowe in "Murder, My Sweet" And I'm with the Basil Rathbone IS Sherlock Holmes group. He's awesome! (though I also liked Nicol Williamson as Sherlock Holmes in "The Seven Percent Solution" -- thought he pulled off that...

    Passe' words and phrases

    I know I use a lot of older terminology, cuz I often get laughed at by people at work, or they go "what?". Of course now that I'm trying to think of what I say that gets the biggest reaction, I can't think of anything. I say "lousy" a lot, which I almost never hear any more "hubba hubba"...

    WWII Theaters of Operation... Which Do You Prefer?

    For me, it's always been a toss-up between Europe and anything having to do with submarines. I grew up devouring every book on WWII subs I could get my hands on, from our boats to U-boats. And being a huge Combat! fan guaranteed a long-standing interest in the Infantry in Europe. I'm reading...

    Remembering D-Day today (in 1944)

    I watched the first Combat! episode, "A Day in June" in honor of the day. My local paper did feature a front page article on two of our local D-Day vets on the front page, and I couldn't help getting choked up when I read their words. We have so few vets left nowadays; I salute them all.

    best bad guy

    Lee Marvin and Richard Widmark when they played mean are the best! In more recent movies, David Warner in "Time After Time" particularly scared me.

    Show us your hair do's....

    Oh!!! Atomic Blond - thank you thank you for posting the "how to" pics of the roll you did. Finally, that makes sense to me, reading instructions and seeing your pics. Any hair tutorial plus pictures people post would be MOST wonderful and much appreciated. And all the beautiful styles...

    A few pics from last weekend

    Those are awesome pictures! And that sounds like so much fun. I'd love to do something like that one of these days. Thanks for posting these!

    Laura

    I really enjoy this movie, particularly the first fifteen minutes up until the flashbacks. Lydecker's dialogue is particularly priceless, Dana Andrews always sends me swooning, Gene Tierney is gorgeous, and Vincent Price is perfect. The last half of the movie perpetually disappoints me, but...

    Features on Men

    Mysterygal summed up the features I look for on the first page! 1. Eyes 2. Broadish shoulders (particularly the line of them, and the way a suit then falls in clean lines, and right along with that goes a man's posture - no slouching) 3. Hands

    Five that are Seriously Overrated...

    In no particular order, movies I was told I had to see that disappointed me: 1. Bridge over the River Kwai (and I'm a huge WWII movie and William Holden fan and this movie bores me to tears. Blow up the bridge already!) 2. The Matrix 3. A Beautiful Mind 4. Spartacus 5. Touch of Evil

    Show us your hair do's....

    I actually went to get my hair cut today and told my hairdresser that I want to be able to do my hair up in 1940's styles. And she got all excited. She loves the 1940's she says! She watches just about nothing but those movies, studies the fashion and hair styles and everything. How about...

    At home repro

    Wow wow and WOW!! You ladies create wonderful outfits! I absolutely love the pictures posted. I so want to learn how to make clothes like that. I was just contemplating getting a sewing machine and learning to make pants for myself (I'm rather tall and have a small waist and the dept stores...
