    Toys not to get your kids

    If you look at the box for the cleaning setup it says specifically "Girls only" on the box. There's a picture of a little girl behind the trolley, and of course the cotton-candy pinkness of the box is a dead giveaway. It's definitely the gender thing that is offensive here. If it were...

    What do you NOT Want for Christmas?

    Could it be a London thing? I've o.d.'ed on Christmas already. Perhaps because it's kind of starting around Halloween these days. Bah bloody humbug... I hear you! My family are all in the US, so I'm soooo looking forward to the pj-wearing, eating and perhaps drinking to excess (generally I...

    Famous folk today who sport a fedora?

    Smooth! She does have a beautiful face, however.

    Calling all vegetarians !!!

    It's a nice idea that this thread has been revived, to give a bit of balance to all of the meat orgies that take place 'round this time of year! I've been a veggie for 20-odd years, for purely ethical reasons, and have only had a bit of "dead creature" ^^ in my mouth a couple of times by...

    First hit song memories...

    I'm feelin' a little envious of everyone's childhood thus far, 'cause my first hit song memory is of Rod Stewart's "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (my response was always, and is still, "No") - I remember my mom's 8-track of the bloody thing and her playing it an awful lot. I so wish I had memories of...

    Hair under winter hat

    Funnily enough, I find that a big warm winter hat actually helps keep my hairdo - i.e. it keeps it from frizzing up in this drizzly, humid British weather. (I have a very simple vintage-eque short flat 'round the crown and curly/wavy 'round the bottom 'do).

    Charlie Chaplin "Little Tramp" suit up for auction.

    ^ :o aww, thank you, fellas; I aim to please (again, in the Chaplin sense, not the Kardashian sense - sorry, couldn't resist!)...

    Charlie Chaplin "Little Tramp" suit up for auction.

    I'd end up a real tramp if I bought this suit. In the Chaplin sense of the word, of course. Not the Kardashian sense. I did notice the winner gets free Economy shipping, so y'all may want to rethink. ;)

    Girl Crushes!

    http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-kPrznpt7XQc/TcAQoHKi2tI/AAAAAAAAArg/2WRDlV7lhx8/s400/Florinda+bolkan+4.jpg I'm having a serious girl crush at the moment on Florinda Bolkan - those cheekbones, that nose, that hair! Seriously underrated actress (at least outside of Italy, from what I've read).

    Vintage sewing books

    I was wondering if the Ladies (and visiting crafting Gents) of the Powder Room have recommendations for vintage sewing books, and why you find a certain book particularly useful. I couldn't find any thread on precisely this subject but please merge if I've missed something!

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    http://www.clarks.co.uk/find/department-is-women/onsale-is-onsale/product-is-20347996/pgs-is-80 These have piqued my interest, speaking of sales...I'll probably go and try them on first, 'cause the toe box looks a wee bit shallow. Toe cleavage - just say no!

    What Types of Meat Are We Allowed to Talk About?

    I saw it, and as a vegetarian was pretty grossed out by it. I actually only did so because I assumed it was one of those awful wind-up troll messages, and I was going to be a good citizen and report it. I think where pets and domestic-type animals are concerned is where a line tends to...

    Dog ownership - questions, costs??

    It brings a smile to my face to know some lucky dog is going to get a new home for Christmas! Another one saved, I think. All the best for you both, and please post pics when the adoption is complete!

    What do you NOT Want for Christmas?

    My post isn't what I don't want for myself, but what I don't want given to my other half. When he goes back home for Christmas, his folks' neighbours invariably give him a bottle of Lynx or Adidas. Now a) first and foremost, this stuff pongs to high heaven, b) no self-respecting male above the...

    You Big Softy! - Your Favourite Soft Drinks

    Just a heads up for the UK contingent - Cybercandy are now stocking umpteen varieties of US (& other) bottled sodas, some of which have been mentioned in this thread, like Cheerwine, and some really different sounding stuff (butterscotch root beer, anyone?). Can't wait to try some of these out!

    What Vintagey things do you like doing?

    My main obsessions of the moment are learning Ballroom (Lindy too, next year) and how to sew my own clothing, and I've always enjoyed cooking. I teach Pilates, which is pretty vintage, and sometimes Yoga (well vintage!). I'd love to be more crafty - the ladies (and gents, sorry) of the Lounge...

    Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....

    They tried to get me to taste that stuff when I was in Bali. Needless to say, I pooh-poohed that idea... Civets are mighty cute critters but hey, man, no way nohow!
