    Exactly why I went for this, I'm not sure. Caught up in the moment perhaps? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150386016128&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

    Hat and Glove Era Advise & Etiquette

    Just now, watching "Clash by Night", Barbara Stanwyck's character is sitting in a cafe, holding her cigarette in a gloved hand, drinking coffee with a bare hand. I wonder if she's lost the one glove, because she walks through the town carrying her suitcase, still one glove on, one glove nowhere...

    Zelda : The Magazine of the Vintage Nouveau - NOW AVAILABLE!

    That was a short wait. My Zelda arrived in today's post, and what a gorgeous little tome it is! Thick and glossy, beautifully illustrated, with a tempting array of articles just waiting to be savoured on grey autumn days. It truly is lovely, Diane, thank you for putting together such a gem...

    Loungers' Pets

    That is one dopey dog! (And I mean it in the best possible way. ;) ) I haven't anything nearly as animated to share, so I'll stick with a couple of serene cats: Miss Blue and The Sidler, staking claim to my new old chair.

    Any other gals growing their hair out?

    Maybe one day we'll just have to meet up and have a vintage girl fest. ;) If you ever have the urge to take the Heartland Flyer, I live just a couple miles from the downtown OKC station.....

    Any other gals growing their hair out?

    If I could get a Marcel like that, I'd be one happy girl! Stylists (and even my daughter, when I ask her to give me a trim), get all worried when I say "the shorter the better, in the back." As long as I have something to play with in the front, where it matters (and I can reach it and see...

    Any other gals growing their hair out?

    I'm in your same boat, fortworthgal. My summer super short 'do is growing out, and now at the point of awkward and sloppy. What I hate most is the Mrs. Brady mullet that happens; I can't walk around with that thing hanging onto my neck. Last year, I trimmed it myself in a moment of...

    What are you listening to?

    The ones that got away

    You know what? I have a skirt similar to the one on the bottom right. It's a J. Peterman I got in a thrift store of all places. Ever so Edwardian, "A Very Long Engagement" walking skirt thingie. Sadly, it has lots of tiny holes, from moth larvae I presume. Still, a fun, unique piece, and...

    Handsome Fellas!

    I was on the verge of saying something about that Peter Murphy photo being far too gaunt and dramatic for me these days, but just before I did, I remembered the soft spot I had for the somnambulist in "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", so really, I have no room to speak. Carry on. ;) Maybe...

    What Did You Drink Last Night?

    Ah, those charming old school local brews. Once, a fellow who fancied me used to bring Shiner Bock up from Texas, in order to impress me. Of course, he said to me (and I remember it like yesterday, though it must have been 1987), "Your singing sounds like a flock of geese farting in muggy...

    Mmm, some delicious imagery here. :)

    Can the Snood Save Christmas?

    Calling one of those wide wobbly loops a snood is pretty much the same as calling a waffle iron a leaf blower.

    USPS Rates Go Up in January

    Yes. The 'phasing out of levels of service' translates, in reality, into one crappy level of service, at the most premium price. :(

    Can the Snood Save Christmas?

    Exactly. lol

    Can the Snood Save Christmas?

    I bought one in the mid 80s, at a Renaissance Fair. It never suited me, but my teenage daughter has gotten a bit of use from it in recent months. She digs its vintage appeal. ;)

    Can the Snood Save Christmas?

    What happened to the brooch in '04?

    Can the Snood Save Christmas?

    I was thinking the same thing. Those look pretty much like something you'd find in the 'cowl' department at Etsy. If they've designed a morph between a scarf and a snood, perhaps it ought to be called a 'scood', or a 'snarf'?

    Cold Cream- Brands and advice!

    Tonight I begin the cold cream regimen; here's hoping for some of the same glowing results as so many FL ladies have achieved. :) I bought it on a whim; While in CVS for something else, this thread suddenly came to mind, so I investigated the offerings. The little blue Nivea tin was there...
