Rosie the Riveter
Interesting point! I read a really great Vanity Fair article on the origins of the American Dream. Today, we see it as getting rich and having it all - But originally, it was that everyone, regardless of background or caste, could come to America, work, and get the same results as everyone...- ThesFlishThngs

Rosie the Riveter
Earlier, someone suggested capitalism might be responsible for the high-pressure world in which we find ourselves today; while I know capitalism (the big evil C) has become a dirty word in recent times, I don't think it can be blamed for the bulk of our ills. Now, the other 'big C' -...- ThesFlishThngs

Bad Table Manners

How does a girl keep warm?
And maybe look in the Dream Stockings category, which is their own line. Like Cici, I haven't actively searched for plus size there, but most definitely remember seeing several of their offerings with a plus size option. Also, it might be worth emailing a query to them. They've always been...- ThesFlishThngs

Bad Table Manners
23Skidoo, you ARE going to assure us that was your last date ever with such a heel, aren't you? What a neanderthal. Carlisle, I'd have to say something, either directly to the character, or perhaps have someone make a general announcement to the whole group, before anyone tucks into the...- ThesFlishThngs

How does a girl keep warm?
Have you checked Sock Dreams, The Shirt? (I like calling you that, as we have a cat whom we address as The Sidler. ;) ) Sock Dreams has a vast array of tall socks, over the knee socks, thigh-his, stockings, tights, etc. and each product has a small review of how it fits, how it stretches...- ThesFlishThngs

What are you wearing today??
After reading the gentlemen discussing vintage-inspired jackets at JC Penney, I decided to take my fella there to see if he might fancy anything. That red reversible jacket is fantastic, but the brightness was a bit too bold for him. :( (I thought is suited him to a t.) It wasn't a wasted...- ThesFlishThngs

You know Paul, I think it's actually my size, though as I was bidding on it, I was thinking more along the lines of it'd just be a fun thing to have. Now that I've seen it up close and played with it a bit, perhaps I will try to wear it. Of course, I'll have to figure out all the straps and...- ThesFlishThngs

Irish Loungers?
Hmm, many things to consider. Last time they came they brought a bottle of homemade potcheen! That was sometime before 9/11, so I wouldn't expect them to try that trick again. ;)- ThesFlishThngs

That's some 'swim suit'! Looks much more suited to posing, or perhaps performing while wearing a feather headdress... ;) I managed to acquire this Camp corset for very little $, and the seller (who turned out to be local) even dropped it off at an antique shop for me to collect. No...- ThesFlishThngs

Irish Loungers?
What, you mean like tea towels and tablecloths? Things I'd have to wash and care for? Wouldn't drinks be easier? I could also ask for Waterford crystal but a. it's out of her price range, and b. who'd polish the stuff? ;)- ThesFlishThngs

It strikes me as unbelievably wrong somehow that the original, authentic audio has been disabled from "Footlight Parade", and yet one can still view this (admittedly truish homage) parody of "Shanghai Lil". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v94M0k4vTLs&feature=related What's wrong with the...- ThesFlishThngs

Irish Loungers?
For those of you in Ireland, I'm looking for suggestions on what to request when my mother-in-law visits next week. She's asking what we'd like bringing over, and really, I don't need loads of chocolate. I am a fan of specialty liqueurs and such, though. What tasty alcoholic treats might one...- ThesFlishThngs

Though I've been hither and yon (as my English teacher grandmother would have said), after a few days down south in a rustic lodge, I've reconnected to my cowgirl roots, and am sharing them with the British hubby.
