    NYC Demolition :(

    I don't quite agree that this is the mindset of everyone. This board is proof of that. And I don't quite agree with Jay, either. When I was in London I saw them facing some of the same problems as New Yorkers: old buildings being bought and gutted to make some monstrous modernized stores. My...

    Don't forget your POISE

    My mother - a die-hard feminist - used to go to protests dressed in her best suit and white gloves! And from all her protests, she never saw anyone burn their bras. You can be many things at one time. People do judge by first impressions and by what you wear and how you act...but that doesn't...

    Handsome Fellas!

    I can't help but find him creepy. The first movie I saw him in was Boys Don't Cry and so now there's something about his voice that just gives me the shivers (in the bad way).

    Handsome Fellas!

    Oh! I saw that movie! He was so incredibly adorable in it.

    Handsome Fellas!

    This thread is just too juicy to pass up! My additions to this already wonderfully growing list are as follows: -Clark Gable (Rhett Butler, my friends. Though, honestly, my favorite part of his is the male lead from It Happened One Night) -Orson Welles (Well, when he was younger, that...

    Favourite Scents

    My favorite perfume is Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea...my mother used to wear it and now it's linked in my mind with fancy dresses and my mother going out for a night on the town. For every day wear I splash a bit of Bath and Bodyworks' Sweet Pea on. I like it because no matter what I'm...

    Yes it does. Thank you!

    Hair Comb Help

    Hi ladies! My grandmother gave me a pair of very cute hair combs in hopes that I will put them to use. However, I have no idea how to wear them much less make them stay in my hair. Every time I've tried pushing them in to hold my hair away from my face, they just slip down and look silly...

    weird wing

    I started watching the West Wing because it was created by one of my favorite screenwriters - Aaron Sorkin (writer of A Few Good Men). It's strikingly idealistic about the US political system to a fault at times, but I can't help but like the characters and dialogue. Some of the episodes are...

    Favorite post-2000 bands?

    I would have to say yes to all of those, except I don't know Gomez nor who's on the Grey's Anatomy or Wicker Park soundtrack. I'm a fan of Ben Folds, Jim White, The Decemberists, Flogging Molly, The Shins, Norah Jones, Iron & Wine, The Rosebuds, Ryan Adams. I'm not sure if all of those are...

    The Da Vinci Code

    I actually read an interesting book that theorized that the Knights of Templar actually thought the Holy Grail was John the Baptist's head. And the Disciples and Jesus literally drank from his severed head at the Last Supper! So I guess the grail in that theory is both a cup and a head. Ew...

    Features on Men

    From the corner of romantic comedy and Nora Ephron. She uses the expression in one of her movies and I always found it cute. :)

    Features on Men

    Ooooo. Clark Gable. I've had a girlish crush on Clark Gable for many many years. How can you not swoon for Rhett Butler? LizzieMaine, I think you might have just summed up the perfect guy! A Jimmy Gable! However, I would have to insist that he keeps his witty and sarcastic comments - those...

    How Old Are The Members of The Fedora Lounge?

    I'm 22, been interested in the Golden Era since I got the American Girl doll whose story takes place during WWII as a birthday present when I was 8.

    What Would You Change (about yourself) for Your Vintage Wear?

    Yes! I second (or perhaps third that) that. And I'll add on hair that will hold a curl for longer than an hour without heavy styling products along with no need for glasses/contacts.

    "It" - For the Gals.

    Oh, I'm most definitely going to have to agree with Audrey and Katharine Hepburn as well as Grace Kelly. I mean, Grace Kelly's entrance in Rear Window is all you need as evidence that she had 'it'.

    Bad Book - Better Movie?

    The Godfather is such a classic in both the movie and book worlds that it's hard for me to say that one's better than the other. I love them both. I'm also one of those people who really liked the book of Fight Club just as much as I liked the movie. It's funny, I majored in film and I'm...

    Sports topics

    Orginially being from Pittsburgh, I'm a huge Steelers fan. Normally I follow football and baseball and maybe college basketball if Syracuse is playing. My basic sports theory is: if Pittsburgh has a team involved, I'm a fan of it (except for hockey, really. I somehow managed to miss the...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello ladies! I'm another one of those lurkers who has finally signed up. I met a few of you lovely ladies at the NYC gathering. The others might know me from Guybrush's excellent write-up of the Maltese Falcon hunt - I was his Chinese Angle on the events. Of course, I normally go by...
