    Locals Annoyed by Hollywood Sign Tourists

    This can go too far, sometimes, as anyone who has visited Niagara Falls in recent years would know... That's very interesting! It was rumoured that smalltime actress Peg Entwistle jumped from the "D" in her 1923 suicide, but it was actually the H.

    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    Unless you're rich and resilient and can thus get laser surgery! Seriously, though, you have a point. If I ever changed my vintage style for a modern one, I would be in a predicament with my tattoos. This is where globalization as a result of technological advancement ties in - Not only...

    High Waisted Pants & Jeans!

    Cute trousers, I looked at the site. :) I notice the buttons on them begin at the waist and continue diagonally down the hip - this is no good for you, since it draws the eye up and down this area and accentuates it. I suggest removing the buttons and placing them down the front of the pants...

    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    Thanks to technology, these days you are never too far away from anything. Everything is so accessible that you don't really have an excuse not to be up-to-date, unless you want to be. The world has a fascination with the past these days (re: "Will Retromania Destroy Pop Culture" thread) and...

    Locals Annoyed by Hollywood Sign Tourists

    You might be interested in this snippet from findadeath.com: As per the video, I too think its silly that people should be so perturbed by tourists. In my city, there are camera clicking tourists everywhere, everyday. Though they have a slightly irritating habit of stopping in the middle of...

    Christmas without Christ? Huh?

    Even non-religious folks - I know I do! :)

    Basic make-up

    That's an idea lol But like FWGal says, I shudder to think of how it would look (if I could even persuade him to do it!)

    Bobby-pin storage

    What a great solution! I keep my tailor's pins on one of those when sewing, but I never thought to use it for bobby pins. I'll definitely be trying this (I'm getting tired of fishing through a jar with one hand while holding my hair in place with another lol)

    Jeans?

    I've never bought anything from Freddie's, but I have had experiences with sagging crotches in larger sizes of jeans. I'd say it's a combination of both anatomy and the make of the clothes - Some clothes just have longer crotches than we do! However, I'm certain that if you exchanged for the...

    The Holiday Party: Rude or Inept Guests?

    No no, I agree with you! I anticipate mishaps, and I would never make someone feel terrible for having one. Items can be repaired or replaced, but hurt feelings cannot. Perhaps party guests in Texas are much more pleasant :) I think I'll make a trip for your next one! Hopefully your...

    Dating Etiquette

    I recall a story of my grandparents living in opposing houses when growing up in the 30s and 40s, and hating each other so much they threw shoes across the street at each other. Somehow it worked out, because in 1947 they were married! :)

    I am seriously considering giving up my cell phone

    Every other person around me would have a smartphone, so I'm covered lol The simplest solution is always the best, right? You can change your cellphone number online in 15 minutes, and prevent your old number from leading to a recording with your new one. Amend your resumé, send the number...

    The Official Beauty Box thread

    You're kidding! I put it in there because my boyfriend hated the smell, so funny to know that your son likes it! lol (That stuff is pre-Victoria's Secret ownership of La Senza, so they don't make it anymore.) I'm glad you like the hair flower. The pin will come in handy. :)

    Basic make-up

    I tried it this morning, too. The eyebrow came out okay, but the eyeliner was a hopeless failure! I'm sure if my arm were broken, though, I would be driven to do it perfectly. Can't be going out without my cats eyes. :)

    Was This REALLY the Right Way to ... ?

    And it's one facet of the times that has remained the same to this day, I'm sure. The speaking style in recordings, narrations, and radio in the Golden Era was very distinct, so yes, most male voice-overs do sound the same!

    The Holiday Party: Rude or Inept Guests?

    I think that's all PrettySquareGal and the rest of us meant. We all know that even the most well meaning guest can have a mishap, it's just that the majority of guests are not well meaning. Having people around is fun, but not when they're reckless with your home. (It's too easy to become a...

    I am seriously considering giving up my cell phone

    I took CPR-C in early 2009, and we all know how fast technology advances these days, so I'm sure it's much better now. However, as others have explained, to be traced in an emergency successfully you would need to have certain features, such as a cell with a built in GPS and a community with a...

    Hair under winter hat

    The problem with Toques is that they fit so tightly around the head that they'll flatten your entire hairdo. Some styles don't cover your ears, but in sub-zero weather, you may as well not wear a hat, then you're back to square one!

    Basic make-up

    I have often wondered what I would do about my make-up if I couldn't use my right hand. Everybody's suggestions are great - But if you're like me and simply won't be seen without precise touches (eyeliner, brow pencil, etc.) then I would sit down in front of the mirror and train myself to use...

    Dita Von Teese

    Yes! So tiny... This is my major problem, too - Every pair of vintage shoes in my size I have tried on, I wasn't able to jam my foot into because my instep is so wide. I'm hardly broken up about it, though, because shoemaking has improved in flying leaps since the Golden Era, and is one...
