    Make your own vintage inspired hats

    Charming hat, Lady Day. I look forward to pictures of it with your dress. My few authentic cloches are so small - vintage ladies must have had tiny heads to go with their tiny feet. Fortunately, I have a cloche-like hat from my grandmother's things, that is designed to sit further on the back...

    Slightly Sinister Children of the Golden Era

    She doesn't appear to be in sufficient pain, considering it looks like her cheek is being bitten off....

    Life in a Box

    Well, at least a man's WWII life. I've got a cigar box nestled in a shoe box, bought for a couple of dollars at a flea market. Inside are letters, birthday cards and Christmas cards, patches, pins, licenses, leave passes, service lighters, pens, pencils, photos, dog tags, an id bracelet, all...

    Easy Virtue

    Never heard of it. Is this a new theatrical release, or something on dvd?

    Show us what you've made!

    Oh Jenniferose, what an utterly darling dress! (Will you make one for me?.....)

    Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?

    Keep it in mind. It'll be a nice, jazzy, romantic getaway, and it sounds like you two will be ready for one of those as soon as you can make it happen. ;)

    Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?

    When you find that lounge, High Pockets, be sure and let me know. Meanwhile, have you been to see Juanita Ellington at Bossa Nova?

    What are you wearing today??

    On our way to the release reception for "Blood and Thunder", the OU School of Medicine's literary journal. I call Tony's jacket his western Prince Charlie, because it has some V accenting. He didn't wear it out though, but changed into a Harris Tweed jacket instead.

    Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?

    I agree, kamikat. It's not a matter of long hair symbolizing youth and short hair symbolizing middle aged-hood as much as a woman knowing what suits her face and her style. Being true to yourself (regardless of what the perceived norm for you age) is the most empowering thing.

    Anyone know of any sites for vintage clothing for a student budget?

    Dandelion Vintage is a place worth checking from time to time. She usually updates weekly, on a Sunday or Monday, and has a wide range of prices. You can find basic blouses, skirts, etc. for a nice price, though price will reflect condition of course. http://www.dandelionvintage.com/

    Some Art Deco china

    Oh Fleur, I adore that set! It's so striking and fun, and what a bargain!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Have shoe horns disappeared? I spied some vintage ones over the weekend, and realized I hadn't seen them (the standard metal ones, sometimes printed with a shop's info) since my childhood.

    We deliver! - Liquor brought straight to your home.

    I remember Linda Blair used (or tried to use) that ploy in "Sarah T. Portrait of A Teenage Alcoholic." It would be nicely convenient for those times we fancy a little something and just don't want the hassle of going shopping. However, I doubt it would ever fly in OKC; you can't even buy...

    Do ladies really have to dress old & frumpy after a certain age...?

    That's funny. No offense to any educator in the Lounge, but my daughter calls that look "teacher clothes"; big bright seasonally decorated sweatshirts, often accessorized with matching pins, earrings, sneakers. You can see a great concentration of them at craft shows. :rolleyes: As for...

    Public Displays of Affection

    To satisfy the demand for photos, how about a nice, safe mother/daughter shot? It is affection. ;)

    Hat and Glove Era Advise & Etiquette

    Perhaps I should find my own fancy miniature tongs and such to bring along. ;) Often a serving utensil is provided to move to food onto one's own dish, but the chore of then getting it unmessily to the mouth remains.

    Hat and Glove Era Advise & Etiquette

    I've amassed a small collection of assorted gloves over the years (once at the antique market, a vendor was closing shop and selling every pair for $1!). The trouble is, most events I'd be tempted to wear them to tend to be art receptions, that usually involve finger food. I can't imagine...

    Victorian calling card holder

    Nice case. I have some cards.............. ;)

    Barflys, what kind of atmosphere do you prefer?

    I go for the intimate, dim lighting. Either a crispy, fruity cider, or intriguing cocktails to drink, and old jazz, swing, classic type music that I can hear, but do not have to shout over. The Mr. and I do not do clubs or bars, as a rule; drinks are too pricey, crowds to rowdy, and the...
