    Pale or Tan?

    Can you wear a tinted moisturizer? Skinceuticals has a sheer, SPF 50-block tinted moisturizer, Physical Fusion UV Defense. It's pricey but lasts quite a long time (4.2 oz, daily use, has lasted 11-months), as a little goes a long way. The viscosity is thinner than a moisturizer and doesn't...

    Women's dresses and slips: a buying guide

    Thanks for posting that! I love how simple and informative it is. I tried to find the entire book online - seems pages 19-21 on Slips is nowhere to be found. Did find similar books by the same author - these link back to the UPenn digital library and you can view them for free.

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

    I'm "The Paycheck" in the household, but it doesn't bother either of us. We are both full-time employees but his career is notoriously low paying (journalism) and mine is not. It all balances out somehow.

    An image request: flat 1940s/50s shoes (maybe Keds)?

    Hi Alice, Are you able to wear a low heel? Remix has some very comfortable 1940's flats. Their price point is high, but they're well made. I have several pairs of Keds - the new versions, not the true vintage Keds - and I don't think they are a quality shoe. In fact, I'm kind of...

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Now, now... no need to bring in the big guns. Those poor gents are photshopped to within an inch of their lives, have been styled by pros and otherwise don't have the dapper Savoir-faire and innate charm that our gentlemen of Lounge possess. We're just trying to be polite and welcome them...

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    I read that Lady Mary may have two love interests: Welsh actor Tom Cullen will portray Lord Anthony Gillingham - And English actor Julian Ovendon is rumored to be on board for the other suitor, Charles Blake.

    Golden Era stars who died way before their time

    Robert Williams, Platinum Blonde, 1931 - he's the looker dancing with the other looker, Loretta Young. He was so wonderful in this movie and may have had quite a career, but sadly, he died at age 37, only three days after the film premiered. He'd only been in seven films.

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    What? No "it was all a dream" episode (a la Dallas, circa 1978)?! Lady Mary wakes up to find Matthew really wasn't dead in a car crash, it was only a dream and in fact, so was Matthew, and the object of her desires was actually a quaint little man with a Belgian accent, spats, a funny...

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    I have to say, I'm not so invested in the characters that the bumpy ride Downton's creators are taking us on now isn't a make-or-break deal for me, although I understand how many are upset. Maybe PBS can use that to their advantage:

    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Please share more about this skirt - material, maker... solid blue, full skirts of that length are difficult to find. Terrific purchases you've made!

    Downton Abbey - I'm hooked

    Sometimes it seems as if the "indiscretions" of women were less tolerated only because they were women (the servant who sold her body to earn money to feed her child was bad, but the men who bought her services were just being men - that type of mindset). I thought maybe the Earl was so...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I LOVE that movie so much! The softer, flirtier, less wordly Joan Crawford was a sight to behold. A couple of years ago I was fortunate to stumble across an original publicity photo of the cast and it had Joan's signature on the back. The person who had it just didn't find the lure of old...

    Downton Abbey style dress

    Nataya has some designs you might like. This one is pretty, but the styling and pose is rather cheesy. ETA - The dresses in the links AmateisGal provided are Nataya. Great minds think alike!

    My question too - do you know where these are made?

    "Wives with Beehives" coming to TLC

    Sounds like a miserable experience. So, was this just a one-time show, or are your friends locked in to a series?

    Golden Age Actors/Actresses Who Aged Gracefully

    Robert Cummings aged very gracefully: In his late 20's/early 30's Here he is at age 69 Oh! And Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward! The man never had a bad decade. Heck, I'm not so sure he ever had a bad day! She was stunning from the start and aged into a beautiful woman. They...
