    Rope (1948)

    Marnie was panned at the time, but I really enjoy it. Although, it's hard to watch Sean Connery be a rapist. There is some heavy handed symbolism, like Marnie's reaction to the color red, which could probably be more subtle, but I think it's a great performance by Hedren. And Bruce Dern is...

    My Wedding Outfit & Other Questions

    Congratulations! I don't have any hat advice, but I had to say I LOVE those shoes. I'm pea-green with envy :D

    Cards, Notes, Writing Paper & a new Pen

    I love the look on paper of fountain pen ink, but I have crabbed, 5th grade boy handwriting that I've never been able to fix. For this reason, any type of pen with free-flowing ink just blobs and pools in some places and goes dry and thin in others when I write. I have to stick to Bics or no...

    Special Features

    My most recent fave special feature was for the animated film, "Flushed Away." One of the modelers shows you how to make a screaming lady slug from plasticine. It was very cute because kids (or adults!) can try it themselves. I also liked the behind the scenes from Jim Hensen's "Labyrinth."...

    Rope (1948)

    I took a Hitchcock film class where we watched this, for a couple of reasons. One was the continuous takes, which meant all the props were wheeled in and out during sequences. It's almost set in real time, which is amazing because you feel like you are there experiencing it. You get to feel...

    What's your favorite candy?

    The old candy cigarettes-the minty ones--not the bubblegum. I can't ever find them anymore. I found some at a little side of the road store in Arizona, but they were stale and crunchy. I loved how they used to just melt in my mouth.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I loved The Quiet Man. And Maureen O'Hara is just so beautiful in that movie. I just watched Orlando this weekend with Tilda Swinton. It was amazing performance and a fairly good adaptation of Woolfe's novel, considering how convoluted the novel is.

    What was the last TV show you watched?

    I just finished watching "Bottom" seasons 1-3 on DVD. For "Young Ones" fans, it's Adrian Edmundson and Rik Mayall. Very funny! I also just completed watching "Little Britain," seasons 1-3, "Spaced," seasons1 & 2, and "Black Books," seasons 1-3--although 3 was tough to get because they...

    Help! Make up that doesn't get into wrinkles??

    I have larger pores, so I use Joey Pure Pores primer. It does a very good job of keeping my makeup looking flawless. Joey also has a nice collegen boosting moisturizer with SPF that's great for dry skin. I use it periodically in winter when my face gets wind chapped (although I don't use it...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Oh my, Meggie. If you only knew... There's an entire Beauty section that will answer probably almost every question you have about hair or makeup. And if it's not there (although search first for your topic), you can post any question and the girls will answer you. I was hair-stupid myself...

    "Lazy" Vintage Hair Ideas

    Very cute and easy! It probably helps that you look like a vintage Barbie doll though. :) Are you wearing blush or is that flush natural, because you look just adorable in the picture!

    Photography Make-up?

    Kevin Aucoin in one of his book mentions that too--the flash will reflect off the makeup, so if all else fails and you know your makeup is going to reflect, just make sure to put some powder on the neck and clavicles as well so they both reflect the light. For my wedding, I used Revlon...

    Looking Good While Setting Your Hair

    I have fine, very straight hair, and I went out and bought a hard bonnet dryer from Sally's so I didn't have to sleep in the pincurls. It worked great for me if you want a different option than scarves. I tried the satin scarf thing myself, but it would always slip off my head when I was...

    What's On Your Vanity Table?....

    I don't have a separate vanity, as my dresser has an enormous mirror attached to it, but on mine I keep my makeup case, a large wooden jewelry box that I got at a yard sale, my two-sided magnifying mirror, and a little basket that I throw odds and ends in. I keep my hair stuff in the bathroom...

    As if we didn't chat about pin curls enough. . .

    It doesn't last through a wash, but what I find odd is that even after I wash my hair after it having been in pincurls, my ends remain still a bit curly or wavier than usual. Since I have stick-straight hair, I've always found that a little strange. Anyone else have that happen?

    Black Fleece... for women.

    Oh, I don't know...the Bond villian glove sort of makes this outfit for me. lol Maybe she has razors hidden in the ankles of her socks that she needs easy access too.

    What Are You Reading

    Just read the 7th Harry Potter, The Discipline Book by William Sears (an attached parenting book), and :o a few sewing books, because the ladies in the lounge have inspired me to try making my own clothes.

    Gentlemen's attire--do you indulge?

    I love men's pea coats in winter because they are so heavy and big enough to cover whatever I'm wearing. My father was in the air force and I stole his peacoat to wear on the coldest days.

    Buyer's Remorse

    Sure! It was 37.99, and it's a Gold N Hot 1400 watt portable dryer. It's got 4 heat settings on it and you can put it pretty much on any hard surface.

    Buyer's Remorse

    OK. Here's the skinny: The bonnet dryer worked great! I have thin hair, so my hair does dry fairly quickly anyway, but my pincurls dried in just a few minutes on the medium setting. Oh, and someone earlier mentioned that soft bonnet dryers don't work for them, but this portable dryer is a...
