    Vintage/Retro themed bars, clubs, hotels? Share pictures and reviews!

    There arent many retro bars or anything in my neck of the woods... so here are my favorite local diners and other places to eat. First, in my hometown of Culpeper Virginia, Baby Jims Snack Bar. It opened in the late 1940's, my grandparents went on dates there, so did my parents. I have yet...

    I must be crazy...

    Here I am... at it again! First, even with a 45 or 50 sunscreen, I still burn. I am right now nursing a rather hefty burn I got because I went outside for maybe 20 minutes to tell my sister and cousin that lunch was ready this afternoon. I just went outside for a minute without sunscreen and I...

    I must be crazy...

    Indian Beach near Morehead City. I dont think tourist season has started up yet so its nice and quiet. Perfect for long walks. The beach is always a good place to dump your troubles.

    I must be crazy...

    Crazy about the Fedora Lounge, that is... So, here I am on the beach in North Carolina on vacation with my family, and I find myself feeling restless and mildly annoyed that I havent been able to read any of the new posts here for 4 days... so I scrounged up one of those "free AOL trail"...

    Show Us Your Pedigree! The Heritage Thread.

    My fathers side of the family is almost completely German. Our last name was Weiss, but was changed to Wise at some point. In Spotsylvania county, Virginia in the early 18th century Governor Spotswood imported 2 waves of highly skilled German immigrants to the area, one set in 1714, and...

    Vintage/Retro Cosmetic brands?

    I really like their product. Last summer I bought some of their lip gloss and blush and really liked it a lot. I need to pick up another blush, because I'm out. They have fun names for their products too, another thing I get sucked in by. I have their blush "oy vey" and their lip gloss...

    1940's Bad Girls

    I think avatars can be whatever you want... I personally like putting a face to the name, so I use a picture of myself! Maybe others arent as comfortable using a photo of themselves, so they use a photo of their favorite golden era persona, or maybe a movie still, or whatever tickles their...

    Cream Rouge

    I've used burts bees cream rouge before, and I really liked it. It was my favorite, and it wasnt too expensive. The only thing I've found, however, was that you have to be careful or else it can be kinda streaky.

    A few pics from last weekend

    Lauren, you are too cool!! You have inspired me to quit messing around and get some stuff together for a Russian impression. A couple of my Civil War reenacting girlfriends do it, and they've been begging me to come out with them. I think its about time I loose the skirts and the nylons and...
