    The Artist

    After three viewings, I'm officially smitten. First I had to get over my annoyance that it played in Plano, TX (or some such place) weeks before ever coming to the state of OK. The nerve. Then when it finally arrived last week, to play one (1)! cinema in the entire state, I had obligations...

    Do you dress down to compensate?

    The only reason I consciously 'dress down' may be when I'm not in a mood to be commented upon. Funnily enough, though, the people I encounter on a regular basis - friends, coffee house pals, etc. - are familiar with my style, and are more likely to say something if I'm not in a dress/skirt...

    Anyone else ever feel like this?

    While I (fortunately) haven't experienced a personal funk in quite a while, this extremely miserable heat has done a lot to put the kibosh on many of the extra, fun, girly touches I would normally bother with. There's no point in wasting good makeup that will just sweat off the moment I step...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Miss Hannah, would you mind sharing a bit on how you wrangled your hair into that fabu look? Mine's a similar length, but without a hair band, I just can't seem to keep the front from flopping in my face. If I try to train it backwards, it ends up in a horrific, swoopy feathered Chaci...

    Any ladies still sporting a pixie cut?

    Very nice, Miss Hannah. How do you get your swoop to stay back and off your face like that? It looks like your hair is about the same length as mine, but I cannot make my front bit do anything other than flop across my face, and even that requires a flat iron and wax or gel or something.

    Show us what you have Crafted!

    I've been away from the glass table for a while, but Sunday I was asked to make a mirror for a little girl's upcoming birthday, and this is what I created today.

    Vintage Magazine Fiction Illustrations

    Despite having been an art major in college, I won't pretend to have great knowledge of vintage illustrators (beyond the obvious and greatly famous), but I do adore the visuals in my old magazines. I'll try to photograph some soon, to share. Some of you may know the artists.

    The Delineator!

    Beautiful! I have a collection of magazines from the early teens through the 40s (well, a few 50s too, courtesy of my mid-century friends), but not a single Delineator.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    A matinee of "Despicable Me", then home to cook dinner and enjoy TCM's evening lineup. Just now, it's "Circus of Horrors".

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Just a girl popping in, with a pic of her glistening, summer night face, and fun new vintage straw pseudo-cloche.

    What's on Top - Bras, panties, garter belts, slips, & stockings

    I don't know the sizing particulars, but you could always have a look at Sock Dreams. They have a dizzying selection of stockings and thigh-his, and I've gotten Cuban heels there. Free shipping too. Eta: most of their products have little review notes on them, to tell you things like how...

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    Scent preference is a personal thing, but I will agree than many men's fragrances today are very pungent. My husband has bought body washes marketed for men, and I've had to tell him they leave the bathroom smelling so sharp and harsh it makes my nose sting. Not appealling. There's a...

    Ladies, what scents do you like on your men?

    It's a comforting, classic scent that certainly rings nostalgic to a particular demographic. I'm pretty sure my dad wore it in the 60s and 70s, but I don't think my husband ever has. While it might not put me immediately in mind of Daddy, I think it would definitely give me a sense of days...

    Going through the Phryne Fisher mysteries by Kerry Greenwood. They're quick, fun flapper reads.

    J Peterman-yay or nay?

    Though I want to give a thumbs-up to J. Peterman, my experiences have left me undecided at this point. Yes, the catalog is charming and enticing, but the illustrations can be rather idealized, not to mention the frustration with lack of info in the descriptions. That being said, I do still...

    Your favourit team in FIFA 2010?

    What Spitfire said. After the weekend's showing, I say give first and second to Germany and Uruguay for having the balls to play with heart and determination. That yawnfest of a final was less entertaining as a sport and only slightly (& I mean very, very slightly) moreso as a display of...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Watching "Nights of Cabiria" just now. I might not stick through the whole thing (I've seen it before), but as long as nothing more appealing is on I might as well enjoy the wacky world of Fellini.

    Was there a gangster story in your family???

    In 1984 there was a deadly bank robbery in the small town of Geronimo, Oklahoma, which is about 15 miles from my hometown. Shortly after the event, my mother told me it wasn't the first Geronimo bank robbery, & that during the Depression some characters from my dad's family had robbed it first...
