    Historical clothing that Hollywood has trouble with

    Personally, I don't use eyeliner on my lower lids because it does, indeed, make me look tired. Your mileage may vary.

    Speaking of beaded hair, I wonder if Caribbean pirates wore beads in their beards a la Jack Sparrow. And eyeliner. At least the bad teeth of the rest of the crew were probably spot on.

    The 70s Cher look (straight, flat hair) but worn in braids would have made sense. The big, layered 80s hair look does not make sense, unless that tipi in the background is a salon.

    The Cher look wasn't in.

    Historical clothing that Hollywood has trouble with

    Re: Dances with Wolves, one of the characters was a white woman who had been raised by Native Americans ("Stands with a Fist," I think they called her). Her hair looked like it was cut in layers, moussed and blow-dried.

    How do you preserve your upolstery?

    I put a decorative pillow (fancy side down) and a fluffy bed on the sofa for my dog. She'll lie there whether I put those there or not, so...

    On M*A*S*H, it was more hairstyles and makeup: the haircuts of some of the men probably didn't meet Army regulations on length, let alone 50s style. Real Army nurses of the 50s probably wore a lot more short, permed hair than long, flowing locks. It was still a funny show.

    Learning to Dance

    Classes vs. Practice Leading and following are, indeed, languages. It's how you communicate with your partner in a social dance. Classes are different from social dancing. Particularly in beginner classes, a lot of people are just going through the motions instead of leading or following. You...

    A domestic tragedy...

    I came home late one night and my dog didn't greet me. On the floor was a box of cookies, intact, that I had gotten ready for mailing, and two broken figurines. I glued them back together and put them in a safer place. I'd adopted my dog just a few months before and she'd been a lot of...

    Dating for Fedora Loungers?

    While a dancer would be great for someone like me, a collector in the literal sense would not. I can't stand clutter and I'm not willing to pay for storage.

    Which decade is the worst in terms of style?

    In appearance, I'm pretty much conformist with a bit of flair. I don't want to attract attention, but I don't want to look like everyone else or look in the mirror and go "Blech" either. My look is classic and vintage-inspired for work and dancing, but my casual clothes are up to date without...

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    Chocolate mint keeps on growing in my yard. I leave it alone--there's not much that will grow in the spot where it is.
