    If you had to be a historical mobster who would you be?

    I'd be Dion O'Banion, as I am a North Sider in Chicago. I think it's too bad this thread took such a moralistic turn, rather than being a discussion of famous mob figures and their places in history. I come here for fun, and I don't always find it.

    Tragic dimensions to what we do?

    I also think sometimes we are saved from ourselves when we think it should play out a certain way. We as Christians should not dictate to God how it should be done. May it ever be said "The Lord works in mysterious ways..." I have often (looked for and therefore) seen his hand in my own...

    Tragic dimensions to what we do?

    SO moving. They seemed so ready to write her off. Truly only one side of her, and a side I hope to see more of. Where can I buy her new album?

    Much ado about "DOO-WOP"

    Right you are, my friend. My elderly father said to me today, "People today don't sing, they just talk over the music." I love to listen to singers who can really sing.

    Please help me with this hair

    A "hair rat" is a tubular shaped form that builds volume into your hair. It can be long and flexible (such as for wrapping hair around to make a perfect ballerina bun) or it can be a short tube you pin into the hair and cover with your own hair to add volume somewhere. When they were really...

    Much ado about "DOO-WOP"

    Aww, that's a GREAT song. I also love Dion Dimucci (Dion and the Belmonts) ...particularly "Donna the PrimaDonna." Runaround Sue always makes me smile.

    Much ado about "DOO-WOP"

    The Dell-Vikings. Come Go With Me is the essence of summer to me.

    Dying (and burying) the old-fashioned way

    I love the idea of this, particularly since I harbor resentment toward the funeral and mortuary industries for what I deem unethical practices of theirs. For example-when my mother died the mortician, seeing that there were two unmarried daughters, tried to sell us a heart-shaped pillow that...

    Tragic dimensions to what we do?

    Sometimes I think people need distraction and some sense of accomplishment wherever they can get it. One can argue that a 1,000-piece puzzle is a waste of time, but someone out there is putting one together right now. Maybe it is "unhealthy" to spend all of your time adding to your collection of...

    Your favorite toys as a kid?

    I loved my Lite Brite. I had the original, with the blinding light bulb and a full pound of colored pegs. One of my sisters gave me a modern Lite Brite for Christmas as a joke, and I have to say, like most things, the new, improved design was a big disappointment. Kids today don't know what...

    Eye make-up HELP!

    Hmmm, sorry to hear your bad news, and perhaps some of the makeup artists here can help. If not, why not try playing up your lips, cheeks and eyebrows and leaving your lids alone? It's a different look, but just as pretty as a strong eye. The pulsing headache you described doesn't seem worth it.

    DETROIT CITY COUNCIL VOTES TO DEMOLISH M.C.S.!

    My parents both grew up in the city of Detroit and when they would come visit me in Chicago they would get angry at the contrast. They both felt that the Detroit they knew in the 1940s and 50s was gone forever and they felt nothing but despair for the city's future. Looking at these pictures...

    Cleavage

    Someone once said, "If you've got the merchandise, put it in the window." Personally, my shop doesn't open until 6 PM.

    Vintage Vestiges of Your Profession

    I'm a secretary. Can I get anyone a cup of coffee? Oh, and you have a call on line two.

    It's my face - isn't it?

    People can be rude fools. Ask any pregnant women who has had to deal with strangers rubbing her stomach and asking about her sex life. I have naturally curly hair and often get comments from total strangers. The worst was from a former boss who remarked to a coworker as I walked by on a...

    Costume vs. natural

    I think you're absolutely right. My day-to-day look is vintage-inspired, and leans toward the bombshell, I guess. Last summer I wore a black belted shirtdress from some mall store a couple of times and heard "Who are you trying to be, June Cleaver?" the first time and "You look like a flight...

    Weirdest Fortune Cookie Messages

    I have a friend who eats the cookie AND the fortune! (Or else it won't come true.) Weirdest one I ever got was something like "To find your purpose, you must live with." Yes? Hello? Need a new ink cartridge?

    WAAAH, My dog CHEWED up my vintage...

    Or you could take off the snap, cut off the flap, bind off the edges and put a zipper in it.

    Who does BPAL?

    Just got my first order of "imps" today, although I didn't like any of them! Gave me an excuse to order more. My freebie was "Block Buster," which smells like apple cider. I think my light bulbs will wear it before I will. My search continues for a new signature scent...
