    Gents: Do you feel comfortable with a woman who is taller than you?

    A few weeks ago, I had a dance partner who was a lot shorter than I was. (He was eight or nine years old.) If your follower is much taller than you, I have two words for you: free turns. It's just easier for both parties than an underarm turn.

    What are you listening to?

    Ice Cream Man http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmfe6h2Qt6k (Sorry, but it takes too long to load a video for some reason.) If Van Halen had been around 30 years earlier, they'd have given Louie Jordan a run for his money.

    Time Traveler spotted at the 1928 Chaplin film "The Circus"

    If this is a fake, it's really good. The lighting angle and intensity match the rest of the photo. So does the contrast.

    (Re)Book-em Danno

    Sorry, I haven't seen any episodes of the new version for a few weeks. I've been on a dancing/Death Note kick. How did a skinny, hypoglycemic anime dude eclipse Alex O'Laughlin? I guess he appealed to my intellect. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKgyQf4Se9c

    philosophies of the late 1940s

    Eric Hoffer was writing The True Believer at the time, and the book was published in 1951. I think there was more of a tendency to put faith in authority figures during that era.

    Struggling with my 'look'??

    A few different tacks you could take: Take your clothes in for alterations, or do them yourself if you sew. If your clothes are baggy on you, you'll just look thinner than you are. Find brands or stores whose clothes are cut for your shape. Go to a thrift store and you'll get to try out...

    Sounds like me and my ex-boyfriends. Worth the climb.

    Kooper is Outraged...Journalist attacks Tiki and the Tonga Room

    Throw in eternally angry, and this is exactly how I've always felt about Michelle Malkin's column. Be that as it may, I'd be very unhappy if my party place were to go the way of the Savoy, but I'd respect the new owner's right to do whatever they wanted to with it. Besides, someone is going to...

    (Re)Book-em Danno

    You're leaving out the episode where McGarrett took a suspect and shook him like a throw rug over the edge of a building. As I recall from the shark cage episode, though, tourists used the cage to safely observe sharks; the suspect wasn't in actual danger--but he didn't know that. I just...

    I could be way off, but don't people generally avoid attracting undue attention when they're undercover?

    Do any of the hard-to-fit men here make their own clothes?

    I left the cupboard doors over the staircase slightly open and bumped into them. I'm 5'-4".

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    I was doing the foxtrot with one of my favorite partners on an empty floor, feeling like Juliet Prowse. My partner led a free turn, I came back around while traveling, and walked into him. Somebody applauded.

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    Well, the dance scene needs spectators, too. :) That was something new at Lindy on the Rocks back in August: a lot of people showed up to the dances just to watch. They really seemed to enjoy it--it was great!

    Embarrassing Moments in Dance

    You should be good at blues and balboa spins. I've had some close calls since I posted that my glasses flew off during "Sing, Sing, Sing." Sometimes I just take them off. I can see up close and recognize most of my partners from farther away by how they move. There was a jack & jill...
