Mother-in-Law's Scathing E-mail Goes Viral
I don't think a grown woman should have to be told not to go "ewww" at what's for dinner in somebody else's house, nor to not dig in before others eat. Or not to smart-off about her mother-in-law in her mother-in-law's local pub, for that matter. I think she's lost her temper, and it's...- Viola

Show us your hair do's....
Sadly, posting what can only be referred to as a Before pic. My hair. What a shanda. Vintage hair is admittedly not what I came to the Lounge for originally (as everyone can tell...) and generally I would just put it in a bun or a ponytail with a scarf and call it good. Or down with a... -
Radical life change needed!
When I was in the US, I was at my all-time thinnest and fittest when I allowed myself a couple of the tiny individually wrapped (this was important! individually wrapped meant I could pack them easily AND never had the temptation of a started bar!) Hersheys' Special Dark candies. I'd get the big...- Viola

Ingrid Bergman Dress Destroyed - Vogue shows it off
Hey I'll say it - I like short skirts. I do. I'm terribly short, but I have nice-ish legs (for a shorty) and I like proving I HAVE legs, and many things that should be mid-calf tend to be ankle on me and not designed for it. Not very pretty. I love short flapper dresses, though I don't own...- Viola

Worst Golden-era inventions
Only click if morbid curiousity gets the best of you, its a rather unpleasant mental image. For the record, it involves Lysol. http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrbill/37387729/sizes/o/in/set-834100/- Viola

Radical life change needed!
Well, fruit has a lot more sugar than veggies do. I will give myself no limit for spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus... stuff like that... but when I'm track I only have a piece or two of fruit a day. It works for me. You can't really eat that many calories of, say, raw spinach, without...- Viola

Show us your Guns!
Great pictures, you guys. Making me miss the USA. I've really enjoyed this thread. :) My husband (not a fan of the firearms even slightly at any time) said if we move back to the States I can have what he's planning to spend on TV-and-auxilaries for guns - as a mechanism for him to stay on...- Viola

Show Us Your Vintage Groceries!
Did you ever find your coffee tin? It's funny you mentioned coffee specifically because I want a vintage Maxwell House (no other brand will do) tin. Yep. Because I am, as I have been told, crazy. They're shockingly expensive though. I think I may have to revert to my original idea of...- Viola

Water, water, water. It really does help with hunger pangs and you feel much better. Also, lots of veggies. It really helps me, because I don't eat that much junk, I just have issues with portion control. But nobody ever got fat from spinach, or broccoli, or pretty much any vegetable. I DO count...- Viola

How do you know which perfume suits you?
I like the concept of florals but haven't found many I can wear. I like Ralph Lauren's Blue, which is very "beachy" with an almost salty element. It definitely has a flower component but its more "fresh" than anything. It's not vintage at all though which is kind of sad. I haven't had much luck...- Viola

Show us your vintage home!
Well, here I was just wanting a 20s-50s single story, something in the bungalow/ranch family, perhaps a touch Art Deco, maybe a bit post-war Atomic, and you're all busting in with big Tudors and Victorians with leaded windows and stuff! I didn't need to know that!- Viola

Show us your vintage home!
I think I fixed the link. Let me know if I've made it worse or anything but it seems to work for me. You nailed it though. But there was more than one house for sale cheap on Chestnut St. - it's not an old Indian burial ground or anything, is it, Tom? Haunted houses? You'd tell me, right? ;)...- Viola

Show us your vintage home!
*jawdrop* Well that is gorgeous! I actually pulled up Pardeeville on realtor.com and they had some on great big lots, too, some over an acre... and 1/2 acre not uncommon (and big to me, I'm a city kid...)...- Viola

If we wealthy the whole thing'd be sorted, we'd have TWO houses and I'd just let my sister live in it and keep it tidy until we got over there! She loves vintage too. There's a lot of beautiful things out here (especially if you like Art Deco furniture) and I can't knock the weather at ALL...- Viola

Husband sure perked up at the concept of moving in a couple years (he's finishing his doctorate right now so we're not relocating in the meantime though if we could swing it possibly we could buy something and rent it out) when he saw how far it would go in the US. We have a '70s constructed...- Viola

Forbidden items in my home...
My husband and I have rather different ideas about what can't come into this home. lol He banned "all white rooms - like living in an insane asylum" pink at all on anything "no pink, there are other vintage colours" "purple is nearly as bad" and seems to think I use "excessive amounts of...- Viola

My husband and I are in Australia right now (he's Australian, I moved out last July) but if real estate stays affordable in the US we might be back - what we paid for an apartment here is a nice vintage house in large parts of the US, I do think. A little over 180k in American dollars but it...- Viola
