    Is Paris Hilton the modern day flapper?

    Yes. But my point was about *rejecting* a tradition one knows little about. And yes, Fletch, I think that makes a person an intellectual bimbo. :)

    Is Paris Hilton the modern day flapper?

    A potential pitfall of rejecting traditional thinking (as opposed to whatever happens to be popular) is shallowness. To use one example, many people loudly reject Christianity, yet they're quick to say "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." Ask them what Jesus said to the woman after...

    20s Revival in the 50s?

    Thanks for the link!

    20s Revival in the 50s?

    Ah yes--bad 20s revival. Charleston mash-ups generally seem to be done to saccharine boop-boop-bi-do neo-20s music that is much, much worse than that version of Four Leaf Clover. They're embarrasing. Where's the authenticity crowd when you need them?

    Is Paris Hilton the modern day flapper?

    Housewives and stay-at-home moms say they take a lot of flak; probably a lot of other traditional people do too. If you're a young adult, I can't see that drinking or running wild is all that rebellious anymore. It's almost expected.

    Is Paris Hilton the modern day flapper?

    Paris Hilton as a secret genius? Hmmm. Columbo did it.

    Is Paris Hilton the modern day flapper?

    I think Hilton is famous because she's highly photogenic, fashionable, and provides a lot of photo ops. And she gets into mischief that causes most people to look down on her behavior at the same time (rightly so, IMO). It's a comedy where someone rich, beautiful, and unlikeable stumbles.

    1930s Cookbook Recipe Portion Sizes were Smaller

    I don't appreciate being talked down to. If you'll re-read my post, you'll find that I didn't say that diet alone was responsible for fitness. I'm not a fitness expert, but I take an active interest in it. Over the years, I've done weightlifting, yoga, dance, step aerobics, taekwondo...

    20s Revival in the 50s?

    Was there a popular interest in the 1920s during the 1950s? There was the movie Some Like it Hot. There was the TV show The Untouchables. And I just downloaded the album Trad Mad! The Pye Trad-Jazz Anthology 1956-1963 (It's a Jazzed-up Frantic Fad, Dad!). It's full of songs that sound like...

    Moonlight

    I'm hoping more and more shows are going to be online. You can watch them anytime with fewer commercials--and better reception if you don't have cable. There's a way of hooking up your TV to your computer; that's what I'm planning to do. I know what you mean about moving time slots. I used to...

    Moonlight

    I think that must have been Mick's ex wife, Coraline. They met in the early 50s. The series is now available on NetFlix.

    What Not to Wear...

    I turned this show on at my parents' house once. My uber-masculine, 78-year-old father said, "Oh, I've seen this one." Yes, they're a little snarky, but they really do improve the person's look, IMO.

    1930s Cookbook Recipe Portion Sizes were Smaller

    My sister smokes like a beat-up car, and I'm sure she doesn't follow any diet or exercise program. She's thin as a pencil, but she looks like the crypt keeper.

    1930s Cookbook Recipe Portion Sizes were Smaller

    It sounds slightly like Body for Life. You get one free day every week (you eat anything you want) and the rest of the week you eat six small meals a day (a portion of carbs, a portion of protein, and at least two portions of vegetables per day). And you spend about three hours a week working...

    A word to men who wear high boots

    This was recently in Manolo's shoe blog: Manolo says, the Manolo has the single commandment about the boots and the shoes for the men: you cannot wear the shoes that would potentially appear in the closet of the Argentine tango pimp. You know the sort of the shoes the Manolo is talking...

    Vintage Streetstyle Thread

    I don't like many of these styles, but I do like that the ladies are making an effort to be creative and well groomed. Enough with the frumpety shlumpety jeans and hoodies uniform!
