    Strange Superstitions and The Superstitious Among Us

    I never believed in these before, but in the past couple of years I've seen too many things go wrong after people broke them that I've been made to believe. I was recently in a show where the Stage Manager and the Asistant Stage Manager were talking on headsets, when the ASM mentioned the...

    Can you help me date this item??

    Eh... only if it buys it's own popcorn. *ba-dum CHING!*

    Anyone else tired of winter?!

    I was happy this morning. The snow was mostly melted from the sidewalks on the way to school. It was gone from the main roads. It was warm enough that I was only wearing two shirts! By one o'clock, WHITEOUT. The play I was going to see tonight was cancelled, because the theatre is snowed in...

    "How Could You?"

    A friend of mine rescues abused dogs, and recently had a dog whose name was Rusty. Rusty was a little dear, but when he came to live with her he was a very sad dog. He had no concept of how to play, and was very withdrawn. But he learned that rubber squeaky balls are AWESOME, people give good...

    What's Your Vintage Skill Set?

    Hee hee! Not coffee... TOFFEE. The delicious gooey chewy kind, made from boiled molasses, butter and milk. Pull the fillings out of your teeth goodness. As for coffee, I can't stand the stuff. I can't get past the smell.

    What's Your Vintage Skill Set?

    I can sew, with or without a pattern. I can prepare and serve high tea. I'm teaching myself how to embroider. I knit- just not well I can iron clothes I can set a table for a four course meal (soup, salad, entree, desert) I can use a handkerchief I can make jam I can attach stockings to...

    Where did your user name come from??

    I'm a big Renaissance Faire nerd, and I was making a frock coat for a Pirate themed faire but was having trouble finding enough matching buttons. So I decided to NOT match, and name my pirate character Misstress Eliza Match, shortened to "Miss Match." It didn't really catch on as a pirate...

    Gloves: sizing, etiquette and all other stuff

    I've heard about gloves that had a little hole over the third finger of the left hand, so a lady could show off her engagement/wedding ring, but they were considered kind of tacky.

    How much snow do you have?

    Hmmm... kind of hard to tell, since everyone started shovelling before I got up the courage to wake up and look out the window. There's about a foot and a half of snow on my picnic table, and I think there was about four inches before that. But walking through the snow today, some of the drifts...

    When Is Your Birthday?

    July 20, 1984. The year of the Rat, specifically, the Wood Rat. Born on the anniversary of the Moon Landing, and I share my birthday with Diana Rigg and Natalie Wood. There are worse people to look up to :)

    What are you watching?

    Doctor Who! I didn't watch the older seasons, because while it was on TV I was very small and thought if people talked with a British Accent it must be a boring show. But I'm loving the new seasons with David Tennant and, before him, Christopher Eccleston. I'm also watching some delightfully...

    Comfortable and healthier high heels

    Darn. I really could use some insoles for when I try and wear fiction on my feet. Your average paperback just doesn't have the right support. lol

    Women without hats

    There are names for women's hats, it's just that some of them are incredibly obscure. In Men's Hats, words like "fedora" cover a wide range of styles. In women's hats, you have Garbos and cloches and pillboxes and cartwheels and slouches and caps and beehives and toques and brettons and pancakes...

    What do you want for your birthday?

    1) A walking foot for my sewing machine. It's a neat little device that makes sewing velvet MUCH easier. 2) Chocolate. Then again, I'll gladly take chocolate at any time of the year. 3) Just about any type of sewing supply. I love sewing!

    Women without hats

    I don't understand why women don't wear hats. I wear one every day, and I constantly hear people say "Oh, I love your hat! I wish I could wear them, but I'm not a 'hat person.'" This then makes me bash my head against a wall. There's approximately nine gazillion hat styles out there for...

    Love at first sight? What Balloney!!...or, does it really happen?

    If my parents haven't been lying to me all these years, love at first sight can definetly happen. They'd been set up on a blind date by my Dad's sister, - she and my mom were sorority sisters, and after a party my aunt told my mom that she should go to the next party with her brother, they'd be...

    What a way to wake up!

    I just found a link to this wonderful device. An alarm clock with the voice of Stephen Frye from Jeeves and Wooster telling you you're wonderful and that it's time to wake up! And if you press a button, there's a lovely little relaxation excercise. If I can't have a valet, this is probably...

    Lady in the hat

    During the summer months I usually wear a brown fur felt fedora (try saying that three times fast!) And all year long I wear styles that would be traditionally worn by men. Since I don't wear full vintage style, a lady's hat with feathers and bows would look out of place. A good fedora goes with...
