Cold/Cough Remedies?
It's that time of year again in the states. I have a sore throat and a cough and I hate to say it, but the snow on my car kept me from going and getting cough syrup. I'm interested in how they addressed colds and coughs in the Golden Era. I saw Thelma Ritter's character in the Mating...- NoirDame

Can Anyone Help Me Identify Grandpa's Service Branch?
Hi everyone. I got some pictures of Grandpa Sam during World War II. I know he is Army and his military grave marker says TEC 5 US Army. I am honestly not too familiar with military designations, so if the answer to my own question is TEC 5, sorry! I just wish I knew more about his service. I... -

The Fashion of Irene Burkett (Pictures)

Singing For Victory
I just wanted to share some great songs with you that I recently put on a CD as a present for a friend to thank her for her support of my return to college as a Master's History student (thesis on WWII of course)! I purchased most of the songs online should you want to find them. I also hand... -

Sears Fashion Book...A Must Have
This is too good to keep to myself, ladies. I found this gem at Border's Books and Music: Everyday Fashions of the 40s as Pictured in the Sears Catalogs by JoAnn Olian. It is a wealth of information with color and fabric information...prices. I nearly died when I saw the cutest leather...- NoirDame

BioShock Soundtrack FOUND!!!!
Since the Moby mixes were horrible as expected, I want to recreate a soundtrack from Bioshock and was hoping someone might have a list of tunes that were heard in the game or be able to contribute some to my list. I can't find a list online. So far I can remember hearing: Beyond the Sea...
