Many here at the lounge completely immerse themselves in the golden era in every aspect of their life, from housing, clothing, entertainment, cooking, etc. It never occurred to me that some people may do the same thing with older eras. I came across this article about a couple who live a...
Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt recently bought a 1940's home in LA that hasn't been remodeled since 1945. I hope he leaves much of the vintage look to it and doesn't destroy it! The pics are FAB...
A cool dad had the idea to recreate snapshots in time with his kids as the characters. Job well done, I say!

Not sure if this has been posted anywhere yet but found this today on Gawker (of all places). Nice to watch, just wish it were longer.

I've been toying with the idea of making a hair switch from my own hair, but haven't been able to find anything online that shows how to go about doing it.
My hair is thinning rapidly and it would be nice to have something that would give the impression that I have a lot of hair, even if...
I stumbled across this a few days ago and since then, have been devouring it as fast as I can.
Dorothy (Dot) kept a daily diary in 1945, at the age of 16, detailing the trials and tribulations of a teenager at that time. Sometimes mundane, sometimes steamy soap opera, it's a snapshot in time...
Wasn't sure where to put this because it would fit in both Moving Pictures, WWII and Golden Era forums so feel free to move it if appropriate, Mods.

Forgive me if these have been posted elsewhere but I'd never seen this collection of photographs before and thought I'd share.
The kids jumping off the building into the Hudson River made me gasp! That would have lawsuit written all over it today...
Saw W.E. over the weekend and wondering if anyone here has seen it, and what did you think?
I loved it and intend on buying the DVD, but I understand why some people would have been put off by it or wouldn't "get it"....my husband being one of them, lol.
Directed by Madonna, it offers a...
I could do without the beaded masquerade mask obscuring half her face, but her hair and gown are stunning in a 30's starlet kind of way, what do you think?:

I need help finding a link in a prior thread, searching the forum has not turned up anything (at least I *think* I'm not crazy and I found the link here at FL).
A couple of years ago someone posted a link to a site where some radio company had released digitally one full day of broadcasting...
I ran across this video on youtube and was fascinated by this couple who live as close to 19-teens to 20's as possible. Anyone know them or heard of them before?

Just curious if any of you Loungers have ever communicated with each other with good old fashioned pen and paper? Sort of like an FL pen-pals club? Would be a great excuse to use real stationary and fountain pens, not to mention practicing the art of letter writing, which seems to be a skill...
