    Vionnet Label Re-launched

    From the Wall Street Journal: http://blogs.wsj.com/runway/2007/02/02/fw-vionnet/ (The photos are of the new clothes from Vionnet) One name generating a lot of buzz at fashion week is a dormant French label that hasn’t churned out a stitch of clothing in almost 70 years. The...

    Movie star

    On giving your opinions of photographs showing fellow Loungers wearing their new hats

    I was just thinking the same thing. Uncritical praise just isn't that helpful, especially when we need to look our best. Comments such as "wear whatever you like!" are even less helpful. But we should give criticism only when it's solicited, and then give it tactfully. Sometimes I will give...

    To old for Bettie cut?

    Certain hairstyles take medium to thick, high quality, well maintained hair, as others have pointed out. I haven't seen many older women wearing short bangs, so I can't say whether I think it works. But I'm with you on not looking like you're fighting your age tooth and nail. At some point...

    So through with COOL!

    I had a airheaded coworker who said that all. The. Time. That alone makes me glad she's gone.

    Why do I hate the 1970s so much?

    Truckin' is also an old dance move. "She was truckin' on down the avenue, without a single thing to do..."

    Made in the USA

    I don't think our little group of 11,000 would make much difference in the U.S. economy. :) Most people will look for the most bang for their buck. Now, especially, most aren't going to pay double for something just because it's made in the U.S. But they should be able to if they like...
