    Old hats, new lease of life?

    I apologise if I'm repeating a topic, but couldn't find it anywhere else... I have a hat decorating workshop in two (TWO!!! :eek: ) days, and the only hat I could find that was even vaguely suitable had two problems: 1) It's white (I need it black or wine, or at least a very dark green or...

    Shorter-length hairstyles?

    I'm making this a separate thread so that it will either become a handy reference for people with hair above shoulder length, or someone can answer my question with "Check this thread and this thread" and then one of our lovely helpful bartenders can delete this one. :) I recently cut most...

    If you said you looked like one celebrity from the Golden Era...

    In the spirit of recent posts, I thought I'd ask, and see if I got any bites: If you had to name the Golden Era celebrity you most resemble (either physically, or in attitude/personality), who would it be? And now the kicker; I'm still trying to think of mine... ;)

    All right, everyone *not* in North America..?

    We've had roll calls for people in Texas, the Mid-West, South-East, New Yawk... So I thought it was about time to call the non-North-Americans out of hiding. Hands up everybody who lives in the other 130-odd million square kilometres of Earth! :) Me: I'm in Hamilton - Province of Waikato...

    Setting up house in the 1940s

    I recently managed to buy, on sale, a vintage-looking enamelled colander (pale "hospital" green) and retro kitchen scales (lemon yellow). Now I'm wondering about how to tie in other things with my emerging vintage kitchen. What colours were popular at the time? I'm particularly interested...

    Life in NZ in the 30s, 40s, & 50s

    A while back, the public museum where I live had an exhibition on what it was like to be young in NZ in the 1930s - 1950s. The NZDL has a link to the collection of oral interviews, photographs, and so on that people volunteered to give for the exhibition. These were later collected by the...

    NZ aircraft photos

    Here's a link to a collection of aircraft images from NZ. I'm not sure that they're all WWII, but some are. You can search the database by several options. I haven't checked it out in depth though. http://www.nzdl.org/cgi-bin/library?a=p&p=about&c=aircraft (Check out more of the NZDL...

    All those niggling questions...

    All those niggling question you may have had about life in the Golden Era may now be answered! Well, some of them at least... In a stroke of utter genius, I just realised that two of the dozens of antique and vintage books that are staring me in the face as I sit at the computer are in...

    Dealing with Joe Public

    I found this post under "Attire & Accoutrements": We have a variety of people here - different countries, ages, looks, and so on. What kind of reactions do you usually get when you step out in vintage gear in your area? I mean, over the years, I have been seen in NZ city streets wearing...
