    Dr Martens

    That would certainly be a problem with younger guys who have probably never worn anything but trainers all their life. I feel sorry for this generation who don't seem to have any individuality in their style of dress. I doubt if many of them will ever wear brogues, or even know the pleasure of...

    Dr Martens

    I never had any problems breaking them in, but I was wearing Boots in the army over 50 years ago. If you wear thick football socks that should ease any initial pain.

    Dr Martens

    Yes, I have a 16 hole pair of Cherry red, a 20 hole pair of Cherry steel toe caps, and a 20 hole black pair. I also have 20 hole black rangers. At 71, I realise that I am a bit long in the tooth for such excesses, but my excuse is that they are ideal for wearing in the snow. ;)

    Rounded collars?

    I bought a couple in the Portobello Road, Notting Hill in the 1980's. It got rather tight as my neck spread from 15 to 16 over the next few years, so I took one of the Collars to Budds of Piccadilly. They copied it, and made it with linen, which is stiffer than cotton if starched properly. The...

    Get an early dose of Barbara

    Barbara Stanwyck Yes, her star has grown brighter in recent years, which makes me very happy. Moss Hart told her that she would never win an Oscar because she made it all look too easy. Her acting style is so modern which is why she has been re discovered in the 17 years since she died. A...

    Barbara Stanwyck biography Hopefully, the definitive Stanwyck biography by Victoria Wilson is too be published soon. She has been toiling on this book for over 10 years, and has lots of private letters and information from Barbara's good friend, columnist Shirley Eder. I have been a Stanwyck...

    Drum Boogie

    Here's something really special: Drum Boogie and Barbara Stanwyck!! Barbara was certainly capable of doing her own singing, but she was dubbed by Martha Tilton in Ball of Fire. She DID do her own singing two years later, when she played another stripper in Lady of Burlesque. That was...

    Double Indemnity (spoilers)

    Barbara Stanwyck If you think that she looked sexy in that phony wig then you should see her with her own beautiful brunette hair in The Lady Eve and Lady of Burlesque. I have loved her for nearly 60 years and run 6 groups for her on Yahoo. If you want to see a photo of us together then take a...

    Anyone wear stud collars???

    The cost of Stiff Collars It's a cost issue for me, I'm not about to spend $15 on a collar and another $15 on a shirt when I can buy a shirt with an attached collar for $19. It does make quite a difference appearance-wise, though... I do sympathise, I guess that you are in the USA where...
