    Is style stuck in a 2 decade rut?

    AHA - I knew I'd seen that image before! Thank you, Rue! P.S. Think he needs to make a comeback...

    Favorite classic horror movies

    I love when the Jewish vampire busts out laughing when a cross gets held up to him, "You've got the wrong vampire!"

    Can someone explain the Native American to me? It's in my brain somewhere, I'm on the cusp of getting it...

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    This abomination has recently featured on Regretsy, and happily most of the comments showed a healthy disgust of what this individual does to poor helpless furniture. On her website is a beautiful waterfall desk - I own one almost exactly like it, and I think, how can you cover up all that...

    Rare and Expensive Books

    I don't really own any older books that are worth anything substantial to my knowledge, but I've recently stumbled upon an authour, Arthur Upfield, whose books (not all, but quite a few) seem to go for more than the average price of a used book. Perhaps any Aussies reading this can tell me why...

    There Oughta Be a Dress Code...

    I'll be the first to admit that, in person, I more often than not have verbal (something for which you don't need Ex-lax, ahem), but I really severely dislike talking on the phone, and on a mobile, forget about it. If the phone rings at my house, most of the time I just won't answer it. If...

    your powder room....

    Isn't it a euphemism for the bathoom? The OP mentions "small place" which makes me think of "petit coin" (French for bathroom), so maybe that is what she meant?

    There Oughta Be a Dress Code...

    ^^ When I was a kid I was a huge fan of Donald Pleasence - I would sit through anything he was in, regardless of genre, or (ahem) quality. Probably still would! Did you use collodion? (Off topic, sorry!)

    Pajamas in public...

    :eusa_clap The Walking Dead, London style! This is brilliant, Edward! What was the event? Frightfest? Which reminds me, tongue-in-cheek though this film may have been (and after seeing the clip one may take the ribaldry a bit further if one is of such mind :whistling:), I'm surprised no...

    Bookends

    ^^ My bookend collecting career began - and ended - with bidding on a pair of Pompeian Bronze bookends ("The Lovers" I think it's called), where the bidding got up to some astronomical amount and the amount of bidders, idem. I loved the things but crikey was I outta my league! I have a few...

    Vintage Desecration - Things Altered/Repurposed, and a Vintage Treasure Lost Forever.

    Oh, if that isn't just about 10 shades of ugly...what sick minds think this stuff up? :eeek:

    Music For Seduction...

    :faint: Now you're just boasting! I could fall quickly for a chap who played Fats Waller's Honeysuckle Rose. Cheeky, slightly suggestive, but never vulgar. Extra points for Bunny Berigan's But Definitely, or Tommy Dorsey's Deep Purple. :D

    Dress clips

    I'm hankering after some dress clips, and I keep seeing ones I like but with paste &/or marcasite stones missing. Does anyone know if these could be replaced and have any of you ever done it? Oh, and another question, how does one judge the quality of these? Is pot metal okay, is marcasite...

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    Maybe she was sleepwalking...[huh] I think the next logical progression will be wearing Snuggies out of the house. No purse needed - just keep the essentials in the handy pocket included (mind you remove the remote before leaving the house!). And finally, something that will actually go well...

    Ok, so some things in the golden era were not too cool...

    What in the sam hill is this?!! I just had to click on it, to see whether it was talking about "Monkey Brians" as above, or "Monkey Brains" as below? But just what is it?

    The Decline of the Well Put Together Lady

    No, they just ooze... I love the guy that is coiffed like he just got out of boot camp (where the ForeverLazy would go over in a big way, don't you think?) and tossing a pigskin. Nothing says super-sporty he-man like a furry union suit with a drop seat.
