    Getting the zipper all the way up

    Thanks; this is a good idea. Several people have posted similar ideas, but the problem here is that most of my zippers are "smooth" that is to say, they do not have the little hole through which a ribbon or clip or anything can be attached, more's the pity!

    Brideshead Revisited... again?

    I loved the original miniseries and personally wouldn't want that experience to be "corrupted" by a modern day interpretation. I recently bought the series on DVD and it had a marvelous special feature of interviews with Jeremy Irons, Anthony Andrews and most all of the rest of the cast. I...

    20% off fedoras

    Everyone, I just received an email from a milliner I use in Michigan and thought I would pass it on. She is having a 20% off sale now through August 31 on fedoras for both men and women. I can tell you she makes fabulous hats - I have many - and will customize a hat to your specifications...

    The fall of the phone

    I had a mobile phone when they first came out, but people were always calling me! I hated it.:) It's like being a doctor always on call. No peace. Then there's the embarrasment of having the wretched thing go off in the theatre or at some other inopportune moment. Besides, I kept losing it and...

    My Mother Says...

    My mother loves it. She grew up in the '30s and '40s and always loved the clothes then. Like me, she finds modern clothing an "abomination" in terms of style and fabric quality! Years ago, she complained that no one made clothing for older women (it's all made for adolescents) so, what she...

    What is a good alternative for a tie? Help required.

    Gee, its great that you care! In today's world, that's a rarity. I vote for the ascot and the pocket square. :)

    Only Angels Have Wings

    One of my favorite films. Recently, I was reading a delightful book, called " People Will Talk" by John Kobal. It's simply a collection of interviews he held with actors/actresses from the Golden Era and I remember the interview with Jack Cole ( dance director) wherein he spoke extensively...

    Handbag source

    Ladies, I would guess most of you buy genuine vintage handbags. However, I have had trouble finding any that are in good enough condition and that I also like. If you have had similar difficulty, you may want to visit Launer online. They are a British design house whose items I've found to be...

    Cads on the subway

    ...Ah yes, Carlisle Blues, I would expect nothing less from you. Next I suppose you'll honor us with a photo of a man giving birth. :rolleyes: "Vive La Difference".

    Cads on the subway

    Absolutely! Thanks for stating what (should be) the obvious.:eusa_clap By the way, it's not "cheesy", it's spot-on! This game of brinksmanship women want to play with men has caused us to lose the "little" courtesies and kindnesses whose real value we only notice once they are gone.

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello Jenny, Welcome. I am new here myself, and may I offer a caveat: this place is addictive! I have neglected much of the work I need to get done since I joined, so have fun but beware! I would like to ask you about your virtual 1940's world. What is it all about?! Thanks & kind wishes...

    Cads on the subway

    I was talking with a friend yesterday who reminded me of another aspect to all of this which illustrates and explains the confusion and resentment some men feel in the wake of women's pursuit of "equality". She pointed out that, although the majority of women simply wanted equal opportunity to...

    your vintage Achilles heel

    And who among us wouldn't agree?!:eusa_clap

    Cads on the subway

    Perspicacious comments ( yes folks, I am a logophile) and true to be sure. I wish I could move back to my small town - well, smaller city, anyway.

    Cads on the subway

    To mitigate some of the confusion, perhaps a woman should wear some kind of symbol indicating her preference for traditional or modern propriety! No need to post sarcastic replies, people - I'm just kidding.:) :D

    Cads on the subway

    :D Yes, very funny. But how has history changed in the past? Someone somewhere has to follow a different vision. The idea of injustice had to have occured to someone before it eventually resulted in the French Revolution. OK, a grand comparison, but the idea is the same.

    Public Displays of Affection

    That's what we used to say back in the 80's. Still works today! :eusa_clap

    Cads on the subway

    Oh well, in the end, one has to live according to one's principles whether or not they accord with the mainstream ethos. As regards traditional propriety and this thread, I am satisfied that those from the old school will automatically know what I mean and those who don't will never understand.

    Cads on the subway

    I appreciate a free exchange of ideas including those different from my own. But is it necessary to be unkind?
