    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I'm going to make a note of this film. I just got Touchez Pas au Grisbi from netflix today, with Jean Gabin and the gorgeous, beautiful Mme. Jeanne Moreau. France, 1954, for what more can one ask?

    Pattern swap starts here!!

    Pencil skirt - W 28 Hips 38 Hi SweetieStarr: I have Simplicity #5627, five skirt patterns, one of which is pencil. W=28, hips = 38. Your teacher should be able to help you adjust the pattern for the inch (?). I assume, because I am brand new to sewing, but from what I've read...it...

    DEATHS ; Notable Passings; The Thread to Pay Last Respects

    Jim Carroll From the NYT: "Jim Carroll, the poet and punk rocker in the outlaw tradition of Rimbaud and Burroughs who chronicled his wild youth in “The Basketball Diaries,” died on Friday at his home in Manhattan. He was 60." His song "People Who Died" is a classic.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Pillow Talk and Send Me No Flowers. I love these films: Rock Hudson is just gorgeous, Tony Randall is hysterical and the clothes are to die for. Oh, and the scripts are intelligent and witty, written for adults.

    What do you do for Living?

    Newly laid off. Whoohoo!!!!! I hated that job. I do a small bit of side work, so I am thinking a lot about going out on my own. That is, I'll start thinking about it after a few solid weeks of loafing and lounging.

    What Are You Reading

    Set in Darkness by Ian Rankin. It's just meh. I had hopes for this, given the setting (Edinburgh), but...not so much.

    "Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)

    Perfect assessment, kamikat. I would add only her increasing dislike/resentment of her children and particularly her son. She sublimates her anger at Don and his adultery and venomously attacks her son instead. It seems that she's going to be one of those 60's mothers who rely on Mothers...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Dark Passage. I rarely see this movie mentioned, but I love it. It's an under-rated noir with interesting first-person narrative.

    Classic Hollywood Anti-Hero

    Max Cady. A dispicable person, a known pedophile, and a rapist. And yet under the laws of the land he deserved an enthusiastic advocate, which he did not receive.

    The Philadelphia Story (just watched this again last night): Macaulay Connor: I would sell my grandmother for a drink - and you know how I love my grandmother. George Kittredge: But a man expects his wife to... Tracy Lord: Behave herself. Naturally. C. K. Dexter Haven: To behave...

    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    Positive comments :) I've been dressing vintage only since the spring, and all comments have been positive. The women at work like to examine a new dress/outfit including playing the "identify that fabric" game, i.e., combed or brushed cotton, etc. and discuss how easy/difficult it will be...

    Coconut oil I've been using coconut oil on my face and body for about a year-and-a-half now. For my body I use Monoi Tiare Tahiti, plain or vanilla, and on my face I use plain old coconut oil (virgin) straight out of the tub. A little goes a long way, it's not greasy at all, and there is no...

    Whoohoo! Vogue's New Book for Better Sewing (1952)! Just bought this on ebay. I found it buried in the offer for another book, ABC's OF WHITE MAGIC SEWING (1951), which looks pretty great in and of itself, but I was most interested in the Vogue book. Here's the listing...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello ladies! Hello all :) I've been lurking for a while, after I stumbled onto the site while researching late-50's day dresses, so I thought I'd take a minute to say hello. I love all things late '40's to early 60's, all the more because I finally, at the ripe young age of 40, found my...
