Does your body change every 7 years?
I have heard that - about every cell renewing in 7 years time. Or rather, what I recall, is that 7 years is the longest it can take for any cell to renew and replace itself. In other words, some cells renew often, like top layers of skin, etc, while other can take up to 7 years. Man, it's like... -
Purse advice
Depending on the colors of the rest of your clothes, I would go with either a muted color, like green, or a brown of a different shade than the rest of your things. You can always punch things up by tying a small scarf to your bag. Or let your gloves be a different color and let them lay over or...- Esme

Candy Corn Addicts Anonymous annual meeting
I want that mix with the chocolate bats! I don't ever remember seeing that. Candy Corn is my favorite ever candy, I like the chocolate cc almost as much as the original. Unfortunately, I have a mild corn allergy and it sets off my asthma if I eat too much. As long as I keep it to a handful or...- Esme

What makeup are you wearing today?
Today - Moisturizer, vaseline around my nose, antihistamine eye drops in my eyes, black cake mascara, raspberry flavored Soft Lips, transparent powder. Sick with a cold, trying to look decent when I went out for tissues and zinc. -
What's your alltime favorite movie?
My all-time favorite movie is Blade Runner. I find it the perfect blend of Noir, Vintage-y costuming, science fiction, hunky guys (especially an at-the-top-of-his-game Ruter Hauer, oh baby!) and an interesting story. The sound track is good, too.- Esme

Film/television speech patterns from the 1920s to 1960s
Slightly off topic perhaps, but what I could never figure out is why Vincent Price who was from Missouri, Eve Arden who was from Mill Valley, California and Agnes Moorehead who was from Massachusetts had exactly the same accent. Must have had the same elocution coach.- Esme

Show us your hair do's....
I was at Sally Beauty yesterday to get some LottaBody (the very young trainee kept saying, "What's it called?" when the trainer stepped to our aisle and said, "It's on the bottom" I thought she was asking "Lotta BOTTOM?" I almost said, "I have quite enough of that, thanks!" But I digress.) They... -
1920s pinches (Prohibition)
Wait, did you say those were screen shots or mug shots? LOL My husband would love this show. Must have a look for it. -
What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
Green Lantern was better than The Green Hornet. I thought Hannah was quite good. The last movie I watched (yesterday) was Songcatcher about a professor of musicology (I think it was) who was the first to realize importance of the folk songs of the Appalacians. She traveled around collecting...- Esme

Hats & Health
I don't mean to be a thread necromancer, but I was looking for something else and found this thread. I am absolutely amazed at how much warmer I stay in the winter wearing a hat! I was telling my husband that now I believed the stories about how much heat you lose out of the top of your head. He... -

Vintage-Inspired clothing lines
I can't sew and am a super plus size gal (Okay, I am fat, lol) so I have been looking for someplace to order plus size clothes. My waist is over 10 inches smaller than my hips so ready made plus sizes just won't work for the most part. I contacted heartmycloset and they said they will do custom...- Esme

What Did You Drink Last Night?
Gin and Tonic. Always. Guh n Tuh as my husband says. I need to branch out, I think. And I used to deplore gin. Does this mean I am getting old?- Esme

Thinking about cutting my hair
Wow, probably too late for me to weigh in, but you look like Alyssa Milano, only not so pointy, you know? LOL I second the vote for a short middy, ala Lana in Postman. I don't particularly care for Lana as an actress (boring) but that hair is too cute. -

Why don't menswear companies just reproduce the aesthetic of the "classic" suit?
If you find one of those guys who wants to dress like Roger Sterling, would you send him over here? Ta. -

Show Us Your Purchases!
Ah, I did a shop today and got some nice things! I got a pair of croc embossed loafers, a white blouse, a blue blouse, a robe, a white slip, and two sweaters. I have my eye on a dress on Etsy, too, that is actual 40's vintage, not just "inspired" like I wear most of the time, but I having a hard...- Esme

Practical uses for hats
We use my hat at work (I am the only one who wears one) when we need to draw a number for prizes or at the Christmas party. -
Help! I have to wear a T-shirt (uniform) for my new job!!
I don't wear vintage clothing most of the time. I am plus size and have been on a super tight budget while my husband was looking for work, so I mostly wear black or gray very plain slacks to work. I wear as close to vintage styled tops as I can find, or plain sweaters and cardis. I still hear -...- Esme
