    Men wearing make-up

    Yep. From artists to CPAs, they're crazy about Jack Sparrow.

    Gardens vegetable, flower or other?

    Try Katy Road Pink. The Antique Rose Emporium sells it. Rugosa roses might work well for you also.

    Were men allowed to faint in the Golden Era?

    Yes, as I'm sure we all know, an unconscious person shouldn't be given anything to drink--there's a danger of choking.

    Were men allowed to faint in the Golden Era?

    In 2004, a man I worked with not only fainted, but threw up after he gave blood. This was shortly after I merely fainted on the sidewalk after giving blood. It was a competitive office.

    The Linen Suit with the Bullet Hole...?

    Obviously, the suit got the bullet hole when it was being worn by a dummy made to look exactly like the suit's owner, who was faking his own death.

    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    I read a book on yoga from 1959. It recommended regular enemas. :eek:

    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    I seem to recall Bill Phillips stating in Body for Life that on a strictly aerobic (cardio) exercise program, you'll lose weight, but if start out with a pear shape, you'll still end up being a smaller pear shape. Weight lifting gives you a more balanced shape. BTW, if you are interested in...

    Male Facial Hair Care

    I think most men with such stunning good looks wouldn't give a fig about plucking their eyebrows, either.

    Alcohol. Try it on an inconspicuous place first.

    From one week ago: Your diet and exercise regimen doesn't seem to be giving you the results you desire.

    Funeral Attire...

    He should have stated such in his will: "Please, don't dress up. It's only my funeral." That's similar to what I tell people when they come over for lunch.

    Love Letters (ladies only!!)

    It's not a bad idea to avoid saying anything in a letter that you'd be embarrassed about if it fell into strange hands.

    The Well Dressed Monster

    Uncle Fester built his wardrobe around his accessories (namely, the light bulb). A snappy suit would have been over the top. Cousin It could have benefitted from the Men's Facial Grooming thread.

    The Well Dressed Monster

    This thread reminds me of "Werewolves of London" by Warren Zevon: His hair was perfect. I'd like to meet his tailor. They were a little post-Golden Era, but the Addams family always looked well, if rather Goth.

    Vintage Exercise Techniques

    According to this site, for someone 155 pounds, to burn 1200 calories would require about 2.5 hours of stationary cycling or a couple of hours of raquetball or not quite two hours of swimming or jumping rope. According to this site, a thousand calorie diet would consist of, say, oatmeal with...

    Dance Classes-What to wear, what to bring?

    Before you start making clothes, take some dance lessons for a month or two and see whether you like it. As for what to wear until then, look for a thread called "Learning to Dance" in the Golden Era section. There are other threads with dance wear advice as well--a Google search should turn...

    Male Facial Hair Care

    Yes--I was referring to the photos after the Vogue picture. Personally, while I don't like a unibrow or the Chia pet look on anyone, I prefer thicker eyebrows over extreme plucking. The latter often ends up asymmetrical.
