    'Forgiving Dr Mengele'

    I would guess many of you have seen this documentary of Eva Kor already, but it deserves a mention. I think it's important to remember that, for most of the world, the 1930s-40s were not a Golden Era. I don't know how a survivor can find the courage to forgive the unfathomable cruelty of waffen...

    Equestrienne

    Do you dress vintage when you ride? I did when I rode hunt seat, but haven't been lately. Now I usually wear English style boots or my Abilene packer boots. I've never owned a pair of cowpoke boots, although I mostly ride western these days. I tend to pair that with riding leggings and a...

    Are you feeling the economic crunch?

    Does it effect your vintage collecting? Have you changed your lifestyle to adapt? Will we dip as low financially as the 1930s?

    WWII combat fatigues question

    Were any American 1943-44 field caps camo? I've seen German ones that were camo, but have only seen USA in olive drab. I've seen camo helmet covers and that's it.

    WWII photo galleries

    There are some great pictures, mostly from USO outposts, available online. I thought this deserves it's own thread. I searched but didn't find one, hope I'm not repeating. Here's an interesting library from Alaska to start off...

    Favorite golden era artists

I like Salvador Dali, Frida Kahlo (not her Diego though), 3-D fiber art, sculptures, metal especially, some Surrealism and Dadaism but not wild about Cubism or Picasso's work at that...

    Frankie Manning!

    Note from Judy: "Frankie Manning had a fall in a shower in Paris -- no, he was not dancing in the shower as has been rumored (-: He damaged the hip replacement he has had for 15 years, which has served him well. He had to have the old replacement removed -- cement, titanium and all. Now...

    Show us your sheet music

    Hey, I did look for a thread with this title, but I guess we don't have any avid collectors. I picked up some sheet music from 1945-48 at a huge book sale this last weekend. These loves had been marked down to .50 cents, which oddly enough is what they cost back in the day.

    This season's party dress

    This summer had a late 60s look. Now, keeping with that basic style, it's going more 20s. Not normal every day 20s, mind you, but jazz baby style: http://lifestyle.msn.com/beautyandfashion/personalstyle/staticslideshowmc.aspx?cp-documentid=5835425
