    Husband doesn't like 1950's look...

    Sounds like you and your husband need to have a chat to find out what's going through his mind! As said by others, there's also not just one 50's style...besides the usual glamour girl or collegiate look, you could go for the beatnik/bohemian look that's way more casual than the stereotypical...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I finally saw Seven Psychopaths last night. A very Hollywood movie, so I wasn't surprised that it wasn't more popular with non-Hollywood people. But I enjoyed it for its take on Hollywood film-making, and the casting was great. RD

    Animated Cartoons in the Golden Era

    I'm first and foremost a Warner Bros. fan, hands down. I can appreciate other studios, but nothing compares to Golden Era Warners for cartoons. The sensibility, the economical use of drawings, the humor...just so good! I can't stand to watch most modern animation, but will still laugh like a...

    MOB CITY / L A Noir [TNT]

    I really enjoyed Mob City. It's a nice blend of fact and fiction, and compared to the super-rich color of many recent attempts at 1940s Los Angeles, I thought this version was more down-to-earth than most. I also have been able to keep track of the storyline and who's who, which sometimes in...

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I have been LOVING Mob City, and for once I haven't had any trouble keeping track of who's who! I really like the meshing of fact and fiction, and the attention to detail in regards to wardrobe, hair, and sets have been way above what I would expect for a basic cable show. I am keeping...

    Are Classy Restaurants Lowering Dress Code Standards in Your Area?

    Funny thing, I was talking to a friend last night who loves Disneyland, and once was able to get into their exclusive restaurant, Club 33. She said basically that one would expect everyone to be dressed to the nines, but nope, they were in shorts and flip flops! These people obviously have money...

    Are Classy Restaurants Lowering Dress Code Standards in Your Area?

    I'm glad this topic got resurrected! In October, my husband and I agreed to not eat out at restaurants or order delivery food for the month. This isn't as big a deal for me as it is for my husband, because I'm used to taking my lunch to work and can forage for myself with whatever food is in...

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    I also wear red lipstick almost every day. I don't think I have greater confidence, but I do feel a little more put together no matter how slovenly my clothes are! :D

    Vitamin supplements and skin

    Fish oil and vitamin C are great for the skin. I also take a multi-vitamin, gingko-biloba, and glucosamine to cover what my almost-daily salads don't. RD

    Besame cosmetics

    I was walking around Burbank the other day and noticed that Besame now has a storefront on Magnolia Blvd. near a bunch of other vintage shops and stores. I don't know if they moved from their other location or if they're expanding, but I'm excited to be able to check out their products before...

    The general decline in standards today

    Sad thing is, and I'm sure it's been covered to death here but it's worth bringing up again, but when fast food is cheaper than real food thanks to subsidies, the poorer people end up losing health-wise in the long run.

    The general decline in standards today

    Experience, a college degree, and they'll try you out with an unpaid internship. How is anyone supposed to support themselves with those requirements?!

    do you wash your hair everyday?

    I have found that when styling my hair via curling, etc. it's better to not shampoo my hair every day. If you can test out what your hair does when it's not shampooed every day and see what happens!

    What makeup are you wearing today?

    Frustrated! Addressing people by their title, and other 'old-fashioned' sayings

    Says the guy who isn't judged by his age or looks. The reason why some women get offended is that "ma'am" sounds old-fashioned, which translates to old, which for women translates to useless and ignored. You can argue against that all you like, but as long as society has deemed that women above...

    What is your favorite red lipstick brand/shade?

    Is it my imagination, or are MAC lipsticks drier now than they were a couple years ago? I still love MAC, but sometimes I'll mix it up with Besame (I, too, love Besame Red) just so I don't feel like I have a desert on my face! RD

    Hi! I'm new and was wondering if I could get some hair help.

    More details, please! Do you shampoo your hair every day? If so, go longer without doing it. Seriously, I found that no matter what my technique was, nothing would hold when I shampood every day. Now that I don't, it's made a world of difference on how my hair holds a particular style. Also...

    Sunscreen?

    I use tinted moisturizer or foundation with SPF in it...usually nothing under SPF 15 for that. Right now I'm using Stila for both of those and am pretty happy with the results! For exercising outdoors, I use SPF 50, and zinc oxide is the best coverage for that. Doesn't really work with makeup...

    Ladies: Would it bother you (or does it) to be the main breadwinner in the family?

    My husband and I both work in project-to-project jobs, which means that we rarely have long-term jobs, and rarely do those long-term jobs happen at the same time for both of us. We've come to the understanding that if one of us is working, all is good: we'll manage. Right now I'm the one who's...
