    Is anyone else on their death bed? The Flu Thread.

    Vintage Slang

    :offtopic: I've been wondering how people do searches on things like hat patterns or cooking or slang and come up empty. [huh] Are they clicking on Search and using the search function? There are a few threads on specialized slang and a very long one on general slang. If you click on...

    When to Wear a Beaded Cap

    Thanks! I agree with the navy jacket idea. I had some pink earrings on the day the photo was taken.

    Clerk who said no to Hess and inspired Ian Fleming

    She write a memoir called The Inner Circle. It seems to be out of print, but it's available at my library.

    Swing music & swing dance question.

    We know. ;) You might like Balboa, too. I was able to bal last night, even though my turf toe (hyperextended muscle) isn't quite healed. One of the best dances I ever had was to "Just a Gigolo" by Louis Prima.

    Swing music & swing dance question.

    There are some dance threads in the Golden Era section that should answer your questions. Just look for "dance" in the title.

    Funniest Hat Listing

    I can see an ironic hipster wearing it for fun.

    Is there any way to look suave and debonair while chasing a hat down the street?

    Like any other sport, the best you can do in hat chasing is avoid getting frustrated. Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.

    Hemp fiber hats

    I just bought the TH9--I'm glad to hear the hemp holds up so well. As to appearance, most ladies' hats are made for either the beach or an over-the-top wedding. This one is just right for me.

    Vintage Streetstyle Thread

    Now that I think about it, I do have a couple of items that aren't ideal for my body. I have a geometric pattern sweater with some orange and yellow color blocks that don't suit me. The shape isn't ideal for me, either. But most of the colors in it do look good and the shape isn't awful on me...

    Linda Przybyszewski -- Remember the Name!

    Has anyone invited Ms. Przbyszewski to the Fedora Lounge? Considering that she's assigned her students to wear repro vintage and report the reactions they get, she might find some of the threads here worth her while.

    Watch Your Carriage, Madame! A Guide to Good Posture

    A coworker said that she could recognize me out of the corner of her eye because of my posture. When everyone around you slouches, though, it's easy to pick up the habit.

    What is the style of "tie" Brett used as Holmes?

    I wore something similar when I was in the Air Force. It was just a piece of fabric, no tying required, held in place with velcro or snaps. I just have to say that I love Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes. :)

    Hey!... Are you popular?

    My mother was that age at that time and living in northern Wyoming near the Little Big Horn. According to her, there were a variety of people: catty, kind, cruel, patient, shy, outgoing--about the same as any other time and place. There was a girl who got around, whom my mom didn't hold a...

    Hey!... Are you popular?

    Yes, discretion is a good thing for a variety of reasons. Too much curiosity can be unseemly. The makers of this movie had the difficult job of showing that parking with all the boys isn't a good way for a girl to be popular without making the boys seem like total jerks. (Where I went to...
