    Vintage for the over 40 crowd

    i hate to say it, but my current look is jeans and a man's white shirt with rolled up sleeves. and the occasional vintage hawaiian shirt. can't really afford to go full on vintage and where i live, california desert, i would stand out like a sore thumb, and not in an attractive way. one thing i...

    WWII Photos (and Stories) of Our Loved Ones

    WWII in south america i am not sure what my dad was doing, but he spent most of WWII in south america; brazil, nicuaragua, etc. i have his military records and they are rather obscure sounding, courier, flying off to far away places delivering pieces of radar and or other things. he was in...

    Gary Cooper's fedora

    Fountainhead was also the beginning of the very special relationship between Neal and Cooper. fab film, but the book was better. but not as good as atlas shrugged. rsg

    spitting nails!

    thanks dottie. i had just waited for so long for this "perfect" one, know what i mean? the old ones come up a lot, but it has to fit my model, and it has to fit what i see in my head AND it has to fit my pocketbook. oh well, i am over it — almost. lol lara

    spitting nails!

    i am SO bloody ticked, mostly at myself. i lost a wedding gown and veil ib ebay that was simply perfect for a shoot i have planned. and someone outbid me at the last minute. no action on this dress the whole time it was up and wham, sniped. i was busy relearning how to print pics on my printer...

    Sponge rollers---your looks and suggestions?

    i have used the ones with wire in them and i wrap the bottom part of the hair strand in two pieces of toilet paper. that keeps the ends from getting funky and too curly. two pieces because that wraps easier than just one! lara

    Texas & Pacific Lofts - living in an Art Deco train station

    stunning but.... the architectural details are just sumptious, but i find the loft spaces to be cut up too much - or at least that is the way it looks from the pics. i had a loft, long before loft living became in, in a real working warehouse in the east bay. now that is all developed and no...

    Show us your suits

    true, but that doesn't mean it wasn't altered way back when. notice how his face/head does not cast any shadow on his collar - which is odd because his neck is in shadow. trust me, this is just plain goofy. No photoshop in those days to do a better job. :D rsg
