    Save the Chap!

    Now I know there are some readers of this fine publication in this forum, so I had to post this here right away. The Chap needs our help! A friend just linked me to the site, upon which, this page just appeared: I shall be donating, I do hope it doesn't go under. And I'm not just saying...

    Show us your Swirl dresses!

    So, I know there are quite a few Swirl lovers and collectors here on the board, so I wanted to start a thread for people to show theirs off (or post pictures of really fab ones you've found online). Pictures of Swirls are like a drug to me, they make me so happy and I can't get enough of them...

    Boots Original Beauty Formula

    Miss Hannah actually brought this to my attention, but I haven't seen it mentioned here yet.

    New UK repro shoe line

    Rocket Originals just launched their new wedgies range, though they only have one style up you can currently buy. But it looks like they will have some more up soon. These are my favourite, but you can't buy them yet - Apparently they'll come in black and green too. These are the...

    UK (and US!) girls

    I just came back from a 50s memorabilia show and made the most wonderful discovery. I just had to share! There was a couple exhibiting there, and the girl makes high waisted trousers from that Simplicity pattern to order as well as circle skirts, tie-front tops, bloomery sort of tap-pants...

    The Prestige

    Anyone else heard about this? I saw a trailor for it and it look brilliant. I really want to read the book before I see it though. I have heard great things about Christopher Priest, I like Nolan's films and it has a great cast. What more do you need?

    Vintage pics galore!

    I was just doing some research on image stock libraries at work and stumbled across the Illustrated London News picture library: http://www.ilnpictures.co.uk/ It's an archive of the first illustrated newspaper, started in 1842, and apparently still going; and other publications like the...
