    "Wives with Beehives" coming to TLC

    Each on their own seem like very lovely women, and one of them has a cool singing voice. But heap it all together in a reality show and it's coming across as a cliched ad for everything retro. The What Katie Did visit - bullet bras and corsets, pin-ups, starburst clocks, cat-eye sunglasses...

    Oh, the Stigma of an Astigmatism. . .

    LinaSofia, you look gorgeous in those glasses and all the rosey colors you have on. What I especially like about those glasses is the subtle flourish of the corners - keeps them out of the "Madam Librarian" and Harry Potter realm.

    Jury Duty Anyone

    I was mailed notices for jury duty about 5 times a year. Seemed like every time I registered my car, renewed my license, walked the dog or looked out the window... something came in my mail regarding jury duty. After I got that glitch adjusted with our Jury Commissioner, I didn't get any "love...

    Why I love my Local Movie House...

    Sounds like it and looks like it, right down to the Christmas Eve showing of "It's A Wonderful Life!" The Stanford sells out every year for that movie. The Wurlitzer was indeed mighty on the night I saw "Wings," the 1927 silent which won an Academy Award (not yet "Oscar") for Outstanding...

    Why I love my Local Movie House...

    We have 3 local, independent movies houses where I live. They show foreign films and and most indie movies. The popcorn is worth the price of admission, but alas, no REAL cake (really, Worf?! That's a treat!). My favorite movie house is the Stanford Theater in Palo Alto. It's a non-profit...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    I don't think Lucy will ever be back - the actress herself was a bit of a handful, resulting in rumors of the reason behind the character's disappearance. From the Huffington Post last week (sorry if this has already been linked): After the bloody "Boardwalk Empire" Season 3 finale...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    Well, we ARE experiencing some lovely end of the year weather here, so be sure and bring your warm-weather firearms and a surfboard for a romp in the ocean after the carnage! :D To clarify, when I wrote that I thought Gyp may have been "touched" by the inscription, I meant that it appeared...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    I think Margaret only had the appearance of morality. Her sense of right and wrong - perhaps it's better worded to say her sense of what she could get away with and wrong - seemed to have come from the Big Book of Ethics, written by Margaret Schroeder, edited by Margaret Schroeder, illustrated...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    After calling my boyfriend a barbarian for his vocal viewing of the 49ers v. the guys in blue and yellow uniforms - "^#^$% 49ers!" "How could they miss that #&*% goal!?!" - we settled in later to watch "Boardwalk Empire." Always the refined lady, when Richard walked purposefully into the...

    Help - '20s attire suggestions

    Check out this link to the Art Deco Society of San Francisco. There are photos of past Gatsby picnics and on the left of side of page is a link called "How To Gatsby," with tips on how to affordably get the look by sewing, purchasing new clothing or working with what's already in her closet...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    I dunno... sounds like a bad habit to get into. There's no such thing as quazi-useless knowledge! It's that kind of special info that makes for winning trivia teams at the local pubs. All I could do was look at Richard's cache and the best description I could come up with was, "oooh, that's...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    That's a subtle yet powerful glimpse of Nucky's self-involvement that he doesn't even know Eddie's background. And he didn't always treat Eddie that kindly, either. But then again, Nucky enjoyed his girlfriends, his criminal pursuits and didn't pay much attention to Margaret but then seems a...

    But how could you punish someone who couldn't stop giggling at her own rotten pun? That would cruel... Gyp cruel! :D

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    The book was inscribed, “To my brave Enoch on the occasion of his 12th birthday from his doting mother.” I thought Gyp might have actually been a bit touched by that, but perhaps the fact that he didn't annihilate anyone after reading it might have given that impression. That book was special...

    Chalky and Nucky could co-own it and call it "Chucky's!" :D

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    Gyp's men seemed a bit hesitant to remove Richard, but they postured at Gillian's beckoning and Richard left with his head held high. And when Gillian said Juliet "didnt' appear blind in her photograph," raise your hand if you wanted to smack her then and there. :wave: Richard has killed more...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    Funny you phrase it like that. It was shortly before the shovel hit the head that I decided to go to the kitchen and cook the broccoli. I just couldn't stand to watch another slaughter by that character. Of course, I could still hear my boyfriend's reactions: "Oh gawd! Ewwwww! Oh...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    He's so over the top violent that to do him in that same way would be almost cliched. :director:I'd like to see him at ease and smugly confident in his position of power and control, and in that unguarded state have something so innocuous as choking on a steak and his lovely dining...

    BOARDWALK EMPIRE (HBO) - Everything you wanted to bootleg about the Show!

    My take on Richard (the best character on the show IMHO) is that ultimately, he's a soldier. He does his job and asks no questions. I think he needs to have someone he can be loyal to and protect, even at his own risk. (Like when he offered to take Jimmy's place at that final meeting w/...
