    Vintage lighting:

    I must admit to spending waaaaay too much time on Ebay drooling over furniture when my house is already chock full of it; I see a lot of art deco furniture go without bids. I've never seen anything modern that would hit the spot for me; the details are lacking and I like my furniture looking...

    Vintage lighting:

    Oh, no not Next!!! I'm sure you could pick up for the same price or less some nice ones on that well-known auction site, ones that have lasted 80 years and would doubtless last 80 more!

    Vintage lighting:

    I love the Galle lamp above - very sweet! I agree, worthlesswithoutpics (well, not worthless, but it would certainly be a plus!) Most of the lighting in my house is art deco, I'll try to post some pics later!

    How to tie a Headscarf retro style.

    This is brilliant! Just a couple of days ago I was looking for how to do a scarf Land Girl style. Now I can try that, and lots more - cheers!

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    I've watched a few episodes of a telly show "Murdoch Mysteries" and the thing that struck me as bizarre from the get-go - would a woman have been working as a coroner in the 1890s?

    current dress trends

    If you got rid of the top half of the above outfit, And ditched the lower half of the outfit below (keep the shoes, mayhap), I reckon you'd have the foundations of a nice wardrobe. (Particularly love the waistcoat/vest, actually) I don't mean this to be nasty, but to me it looks like this guy...

    Variety shows and Britain's Got Talent

    No, that would be a GOOD thing. Quarantine him on one channel! And then quarantine all of the reality shows on another. I find a dearth of anything in the UK that's not Strictly Throwaway Telly. I find myself watching more and more series from the 70's/80's/early 90's that I missed the...

    high end vs low end products ?

    ...and Avon and Mary Kay - on the sly if you believe PETA. Oh well, there's plenty of cruelty-free competition to choose from. :)

    Weird and Forgotten Movies

    I loved Jill Banner and her "game" in that. It's a shame she didn't do more; I thought she had a lot of presence. Which makes me think of the stunning Laurie Zimmer in "Assault On Precinct 13". Not too weird, but not as well-known as it should be. Has anyone mentioned Dwain Esper's "Maniac"?

    high end vs low end products ?

    I really only use the Lavera Wild Rose range, because I adore the smell. It is shocking how little product you get for the price. Generally I much prefer Weleda. Drappa, katiesparkles, Juliet, as far as I'm aware, the Body Shop still doesn't test, but I am aware of their being owned by...

    Weird and Forgotten Movies

    Crikey, how the heck did I miss this thread??? Past my bedtime now, but I'll definitely be perusing this one! Yes, The Baby. I've seen it a couple of times, and I wonder, was the idea of a "target audience" not a concern when that was made? It definitely held my attention, though! I love...

    high end vs low end products ?

    I'll only buy cruelty-free, regardless of price. I have some Barry M. (a low-cost drugstore brand) products (including the elusive clear mascara, which works great as both a mascara and a brow tamer), but I won't touch L'oreal, for example. I tend to use Lush, which I adore, Body Shop for...

    Deodorant Question

    Across the Pond we have: http://http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001F41IXI/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=103612307&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B001F4BROS&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0AX80JTKCM4Q5RJ3QYXR Which worked pretty darn well for me. I hear good things about...

    Amazing! Fabulous! Awesome!

    Biccies, choccies, hols... *yucky* But what really makes me ill are the media-created truncations and amalgamations of people's names like: SuBo, Kate and "Wills", Jedward, Madge. Besides the fact that most of these "celebrities" are actually "celebrities" for pretty spurious reasons, are we...

    Customer Service in the old days versus now.

    My teeth are set on edge every time I have to send the other half with a list to the grocery store. There'll be at least 1 thing on that list that either he or the employees will be stumped by.

    Amazing! Fabulous! Awesome!

    "Simples" is something I'm hearing more and more...I'm not fussed hearing it from the mouth of a meerkat, but from humans it's really starting to annoy me.

    When Manhatten would no longer be an island

    Noooo! This would seriously put the kibosh on my fantasy of "Escape From New York" coming true one day...:mad:
