    Tragic dimensions to what we do?

    Curious how no women have responded yet... My two hobbies are gardening and dancing. (I don't collect anything.) Through those things, I've met some really great people who also had interests outside of those areas. But I'm not consumed by my hobbies. I don't go out every night and I don't...

    Teen Program Ideas

    East coast swing is easy to learn and should attract some more girls.

    Judge Smails hat in Caddyshack

    Does the hat come with a bowl of soup? (Sorry, I couldn't resist. :) )

    can't hack it

    One of the tenets of my employer is "When in doubt, don't." Long ago, Emily Post advised her readers not to attract attention with their clothes or manner. And as many FLers remarked in the costume thread, people just seem to know when clothes don't reflect the person wearing them. It can be...

    Cleavage

    I don't think anyone is arguing that a plunging neckline is the only improper look for certain occasions. I recently read about the sweater crisis when women started working in factories during WWII. First they said it was a safety problem because the sweater could get caught in machinery. Then...

    Yes. Dressing to please yourself only is overrated at the FL.

    Thanks! I'll tell her about this. :)

    "Lindy Hop" on Dancing with the Stars

    This makes her sound kind of negative, but she's really a jolly person--probably the happiest person I know. Sadly, her joints don't allow her to dance anymore. Inky, Aunt Helen lives in Cambria. Do you know if there are any dances around there? She might like to hear the music and watch the...

    "Lindy Hop" on Dancing with the Stars

    I talked to my aunt in California, the one who called lindy "the dance of our parents" from the perspective of a young person in the 1950s. Aunt Helen saw the show and agreed there wasn't much lindy. She didn't like the gym clothes on Shawn and Mark, either. (I didn't break her heart by...

    VI dress for a job interview?

    I work in a conservative accounting office in downtown Denver. My suggestions for an office interview: Wear long sleeves, preferably with a jacket or sweater, depending on the job. Leave the furs, hats and gloves at home. The loafers look better than the oxfords. The black and blue outfit...

    The Return of Mom & Pop?

    I just read in the Denver Post that several chi-chi restaurants have turned into bars seving bar food (or maybe a notch up from that) to do more business. The owners said they planned to back to being proper restaurants when the economy allowed.

    Is the vintage crowd the curmudgeon crowd?

    Maybe he learned to play when he was soused.

    Cleavage

    I've always thought that in that photo, Mansfield looked like she was one sneeze or deep breath or slap on the back away from popping out of her dress. There's a difference between tolerance and acceptance. Mansfield was evidently free to wear a dress that revealed more than it covered...

    Cleavage

    It looks like the photographer climbed on a chair to get that shot. Not really standard operating procedure for happy snaps.

    Cleavage

    Emily Post's 1940 edition of Etiquette mentions sheer clothing at the office (as in, don't), advised women to put up their hair or keep it short for work, and to generally avoid confusing office work with "chorus work." I can't remember her saying anything about cleavage.

    Cleavage

    Well, there's toe cleavage. Men have to wear wingtips or somesuch to the offce, while women can wear strappy high-heeled sandals without stockings. At my office, men have to wear long sleeves, but women don't.

    Costume vs. natural

    Don't all these anecdotes about knowing at a glance when someone is comfortable and at ease in their clothes (or not) belie the idea that you can't tell much from a person's appearance?
