I was just "surfing" this site and stumbled upon this thread, six years late. However, I've always loved the style and even made an outfit to wear to a 1950s theme party about 25 years ago. People loved it.
The more glamorous sets of the long skirt/dress with the long pants underneath were...
Great hats, guys. Love the pictures. I'm just wearing Bogart's Hat because I'm too lazy to dig through my others at this time. :D Maybe later tonight I'll look for something else to wear tomorrow...
This is good news, more Fedoras being wore. Usually I'm the only one wearing the Fedora within a sea of baseball caps. Maybe people around here think it's too hot to wear anything but a cap in the deep south. The weather is cold lately but I must admit, I haven't noticed many heads because...
Nice vintage hat, MV and welcome to the forum.
I don't own a vintage hat but I've had my own collection of fedoras since the early 1980s. Several females began wearing them on TV during those years, so they were easier to find in the stores back then. I still see an occasional them on store...
Just finished reading Agatha Christie's They Came To Baghdad (1951). Now I'm reading Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks by John Curran. It's non-fiction, about the notebooks she used when plotting her novels, short stories and plays. Last week, I read two earlier Christie books but can't...
This is a pic of my lemon squeezer, a safety hammerless. It's from the late 1930s, I think.
I have two other revolvers that I really love. One is a S&W 686 from about 1988-1989 and the other is S&W 642 which is fairly new, maybe two years old. No pics on hand, though.
Wow, I'm amazed. There's some great sleuthing going on here. Where does one find a Maltese Falcon like that? I know you said eBay, but I'm wondering who made/makes them in the first place?
Okay, found something on it. Created by Acclaimed California Sculptor Peter Schifrin, jet black statue...
A "Lucy" phone? Like in I Love Lucy? Every time I watch my Lucy DVDs and see their phone, I remember the one we had when I was a kid. It was exactly like the one in this picture, except for the receiver cord. Ours wasn't cloth. Ours was coated similar to the cords of today, not cloth. My...
Lucy-Desi, I have them on DVD, too. Since I don't watch much current TV, I do watch my episodes of I Love Lucy and The Lucy-Desi hour shows on occasion.
I've spent my summer Sunday nights watching Agatha Christie mysteries (Poirot and Miss Marple) on PBS. Other than that, I pull out my DVDs...
I've watched those films numerous times, especially Casablanca which is my all-time favorite. You should see it on the big screen. Whenever a movie theatre shows it in my area, my daughter and I make a point to attend. There's just something about Bogart and Bergman at 30 feet tall. Super...
