    Great Hat Quotations

    That's a good one! Here's one: "It is impossible for a hatless woman to be chic." (Emily Post, 1959)

    For the smokers in the lounge

    Re: Chesterfields I don't know if this will help you in So.Calif. Tony, but here in the bay area many of the Walgreen's (aren't they a statewide chain?) pharmacies sell Chesterfield non-filters. They often seem to go on sale in "2 for $5.99" deals which is about as cheap as you'll find a...

    Good wartime reads....

    Re: Four Jills in a Jeep Oh, thanks for this info, I didn't know about the movie! Yes, those are the same 4 "jills" as in the book.

    Hats and Baldness...settle a dispute for me.

    The only way a hat could contribute to baldness is if you wore it so tightly it rubbed / pulled your hair off! (Women who wear those very tight ponytails and hairbands do experience hair loss 'round the temples from the above syndrome...but obviously the standard hat is not pulling out your...

    "crunchy" shoes

    Oh my, what a deal! usually "the experts" say to use mink oil but I would be worried about oils making the leather darker. (Just a thought: I have seen old mass-market vintage leather things that were a thin layer of leather covering a kind of stiff "crunchy" cardboardy material...? No offense...

    You Scream for Ice Cream?

    Hi MysteryGal, have you tried the "Tofutti" (dairy-free) ice cream sandwiches? I hate soy desserts with a passion but those were good enough to fool me! Tofutti also makes soy ice cream, which curiously enough tastes like thickened Cool Whip. (For the Frisco people in the household: I walked...

    Show us your hair do's....

    Hi Rubyredlocks, Nice 'do and color... I think both looks are good...but have you thought of having bangs a tiny bit shorter? I think a shorter bang (well this has been my experience) "opens up" your face more (less shadow on your eyes and brow) while still providing forehead coverage. (Edit: I...

    You Scream for Ice Cream?

    But compared to regular high-butterfat ice cream, sherbet is practically diet food! Yeah...that's the ticket...

    Watkins Household Hints

    I know you can make a paste of crushed asprin and water and use it as a exfoliant "face mask" (the salicylic acid lifts dead skin)... too bad I already cleaned the bathroom today! Maybe Alka-Seltzer would work... it's effervescent! :)

    Could anyone assist me with copper cleaning advice please?

    My household book says to mix "hot salt and vinegar" (presumably hot-in-temperature, not hot as in chili added) and rub with a brush (or cloth if worried about scratching I suppose)... Haven't tried it myself but it's something you could try with readily available household ingredients before...

    You Scream for Ice Cream?

    Give me some good quality orange sherbet, and nobody gets hurt :) As a Frisco kid, I must also pledge allegience to the wondrous It's It ice cream sandwich (Oatmeal cookie ice cream sandwich with a thin chocolate shell). Stider, your lyrics had me giggling! lol

    Good wartime reads....

    OK, now I have a *real* WW2 book... Little did I know, the lovely actress Carole Landis (who seems to have her fans about these parts) did an "entertain the troops" tour during WW2 with 3 other ladies and wrote a book about her experience, called "Four Jills in a Jeep". The copy I found at the...

    HAPPY BASTILLE DAY !

    Ha! Tale of Two Cities, yes! Me, I'm going to go read some Edmund Burke. :) (Ok, okay, I did watch "Les Parapluies de Cherbourg" while eating dinner just now, but that was a complete fluke.) By the way for the ladies there are some nice cardigan+skirt combos in that movie...and some...

    Watkins Household Hints

    Eating hints "DON'T BELIEVE THESE FALLACIES ABOUT MILK! 1. There is no physiological or chemical evidence to support the theory that milk and fish or ice cream and fish should not be eaten at the same meal. Milk and fish are entirely compatible, and are eaten together in fish chowders and...

    WARNING! Controversial poll ahead,...

    (Personally, I feel some forget that evolution is a *theory* (and one whose shortcomings are documented by ones more capable than I), not a credo). Howdy Major Danger.... I resisted the urge to ask (harkening back to the infamous Huxley/Wilburforce debate) whether your new avatar represented a...

    Cute Vintage-y Shoes

    Boy, I wish that decimal point was moved one number to the left :) I like those, although skimming over the description, I got a strange picture in my head juxtaposing the lines about "stud detail" and "s*x appeal"!

    Turner Classic Movies 7-8-06

    The warring Maltese Falcons I've never seen the '31--is it Bebe Daniels in the Mary Astor role? Darn! Well, there is a new DVD being released with all 3 Maltese Falcon versions on it, according to alt.movies.silent. That definitely sounds like a must-buy.

    Joan Blondell, my heroine...AND Lili Damita! It was bad enough I missed all those Thelma Todd two-reelers recently, now this! ...I'm going to have to move back to suburbia just so I can get decent cable again. :rage:

    Your Most Misunderstood Piece of Vintage

    As the kids say, "duh!". If you were a waitress or hairdresser you'd be chewing and snapping gum.. something no lady of your taste and refinement would be doing :)
