What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
I love this, and it is scary! :p You just need to be further compromised when you watch it lol moving on... I just watched "The Face of Another / Tanin no kao" 1966. Quite gripping, really a good match for me; New Wavey, and Sci-fi, and beautifully shot as well. A nice jump for anyone...- Caroline

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
An odd one I found this at the thrift store for $10. It looks to be some sort of Apostolic Blessing circa Pope Leo. I'll have to get it cleaned up someday. Feels kind of odd and wrong to have it when someone else probably really values it.- Caroline

General guidlines for the new kid on the block?
Well as far as thrift stores go, I've found that over time, your eyes and fingers will become adept at finding the quality fabrics and construction. Just keep perusing them. Even if you don't make that big score for a while, because there's the inevitable fit issue, you'll at least learn what...- Caroline

The Miracle of Absinthe
OK so since this is the absinthe Q&A depot, I'll pose this question. Are any of these brands worth buying? This is what is in stock at the NH state liquor stores, where I shop for most of my liquor. 8658 Absente "Absinthe Refined" 325 Absenthe Glass & Spoon Gift Box 10160 Auvigne...- Caroline

Vintage shopping in New York :)
I always had good luck at the weekend fleas around west 28th St. No real address you just bumble around til you find it - there are/were brick andmortar antique stores too in the general area. Something is telling me that there may have been a temporary hold on the fleas due to some sort of...- Caroline

going gray?
Starting to go grey My hair has just started to turn, and I actually like the grey. When it started I thought I was gaining highlights:p , until the occasional white shocks came in too. I'm not the kind of woman who can keep up with hair coloring, so I admire your attempts to fight it. The... -
What are you listening to?
Peter Sellers - Dipso Calypso (on lastfm if you're interested) There was a show on his life on the public radio station last nite. So tragic. He recorded a lot of music! -

Wish List..
Previous to this week I had only one wish - a new bathroom, and now it's happening! A new list will distract me from the fact that my house is being gutted and the only toilet is being removed for who knows how long. Realistic list - active searches: more tiki mugs blowfish lamp irobot...- Caroline

Got Tiki?
Lovely ephemera collection FM! I'm not terribly into the torches either, unless a lit cocktail counts as one ;) Decodoll, I see you're from RI. Have you been to a place called "The Islander" in Warwick? The drink menu seems stardard tiki, but I can't find any interior shots of the place...- Caroline

I,Claudius
On the fence Hmmm. I'm sure someone could make a great film, but I'm so in love with the series that it would really be a totally different animal for me. The actors from the series are intertwined with my mental processes now. I often (yes, scary) flash on Olivia yelling about how "Rome...- Caroline

Favorite classic horror movies
I love 1950's sci-fi and the Universal monster movies, but it's not Halloween for me unless I see the 1936 Devil Doll and White Zombie. Both are on TCM on Halloween, so get that day off! They have that certain quality to them that is genuinely frightening. I also think Susperia is one of the...- Caroline

Ruining vintage stuff :(
A Suit! I ruined a fantastic vintage suit by attempting to raise the hemline myself. I thougt it would be easy, but with the girth of the wool, it wasn't and I might as well have taken a staple gun to the poor thing. It already had some moth issues but it was this deep colbalt blue tweed that...- Caroline

Show us your vintage home!
Great job! I feel for you as I did the same thing to a built in china hutch with about 5-7 coats of both laytex and lead paint UGH! The laytex was the worst, and to further punish myself I used the "safe" remover with fewer toxic fumes, and no heat gun. I was worried about cancer and setting...- Caroline
