Halloween costumes!
What gorgeous costumes!! You guys look really great! I love Halloween but I hardly ever dress up. I was a black cat a few yrs ago for a party at work. But it was pretty generic...I wore all black and had ears, a tail and a bow tie. Gave myself whiskers and a nose and looong eyelashes. I was...- RobynLe

A thread for the Petite Vintage Lady
:offtopic: I can't wait until I can sew really well....I'm going to be a sewing fool!! lol I don't know why I waited this long to learn because I've always been like, "Oh I love that dress/shirt/skirt, etc., if I only knew how to sew I could make one of my own!!" I am not the type of girl...- RobynLe

Your Favorite Film Costumes
Yes, Christy I have seen this site also. It's great! Evidently, I was so enamored of the darn photos and sketches (love those sketches!) that I didn't realize that Billy Travilla was the costume designer on most of the movies that have those wonderful outfits! I guess that's why she told him...- RobynLe

Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .
What a precious pic cherry lips!!! I too have been wearing glasses since I was 11 yrs old. That's 25 yrs now. I believe I was in my early 20's when I found out that I have an astigmatism. I go back & forth with glasses & contacts, but I only wear contacts very occasionally. I had a pale...- RobynLe

A thread for the Petite Vintage Lady
Isn't this thread comical? Don't worry ladies, I am laughing with you!! I have to laugh about it, honestly. It keeps me sane. [huh] Yes, I have just accepted the fact that I will have to hem every pair of pants that I want! So I basically just buy the ones that I feel are worth all that...- RobynLe

Your Favorite Film Costumes
Christy-- Absolutely! She pulls it off brilliantly. The only other shoes I can imagine with this outfit are those Lucite heels that Schatzi loves! Could we all pull it off? I don't know, but she sure does. They had her in suits a lot early on, like in Love Nest--great suits in that movie too...- RobynLe

Are you a Military wife?
C-dot Thank you! You are a great woman. Ricky says he has the utmost respect for you, for supporting Kyle the way you do. :) Supposedly, Ricky's records have been submitted to be signed off on (because they had to be de-coded, etc) by the main office in Wash D.C. (which they have 90 days to...- RobynLe

Everyday Women of the Golden Era
This is the greatest thread ever!! It's actually the thread that made me discover the FL in the first place. I finally scanned these pics of my grandma and her friends and family. She was born in 1901 so she's in her 20's here. I have a whole photo album of them. My mom was adopted so these...- RobynLe

Are you a Military wife?
That was a great poem! I read it to Ricky (my hubby) and he really liked it too. :) Talk about resentment! Ricky told me he was happy that we'd met just after he retired because every relationship he's had ended (mostly) because of the fact that he was gone all the time. He's been married a...- RobynLe

Are you a Military wife?
Wow! Thanks for bumping this thread C-dot. I totally did not see it! Anyway, I am the wife of an Air Force veteran. He just got out in November, 2004. He retired as a Colonel. Actually they forced him to retire because they said he had......ready for this? "excessive combat duty"...- RobynLe

I may be pretty tiny myself, (I don't feel tiny, but that's what everyone calls me!) But, I never have and never will wear mini skirts!! It's just not something I feel comfy in. And I'm all about being comfy when it comes to clothes. :)- RobynLe
