    What Is The Wardrobe Choice for a Vamp?

    One difference I see between the teens/20s vamps and the 40s/50 vamps is the second group looks friendly, happy and relaxed. The first group looks hard as nails.

    What Is The Wardrobe Choice for a Vamp?

    In Gilda, Rita Hayworth's dress (except for the walking slit) is no more revealing than a typical modern bridal gown: Part of glamor is mystery. I'm not sure why this is, nor do I want to preach a sermon on modesty. But a confident yet vulnerable woman who makes herself beautiful will...

    Is "Boys/Men Only" too Taboo?

    I worked at the Air Force Academy for 2.5 years. The women cadets seemed to get an equal share of injuries (as far as I could tell from seeing cadets wearing casts) and being screamed at and humiliated. I was enlisted myself. The women TIs in basic training were way meaner than the male...

    Is "Boys/Men Only" too Taboo?

    I don't think equality can be enforced in any sphere. I think race and gender are two very different things. Gender is much more distinct than race, which has seen numerous classifications over the years. Funny thing is, it seems like men are the ones now who are inclined to stay home...

    Looking for Top Quality vintage clothing

    In Denver, it may have been Denver Dry Goods Co. I have a sweater from there that I bought 15 years ago at a consignment store, wore regularly on the loading dock where I worked, and it's still almost good as new.

    Fashion fads we love to hate

    I would never have guessed that you don't wear dress shoes. :rolleyes:

    Fashion fads we love to hate

    This reminds me of a former coworker. She always shuffled her feet even though she wore real shoes at work. And yes, she was slow, still making newbie mistakes after a year and a half and I constantly had to remind her to do things. Someone remarked on "dressy" flip-flops. If you pay $100...

    Your Beauty Secrets...Revealed!

    Vitamins: http://www.gnc.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3181120&cp=&sr=1&kw=hair+skin+nails&origkw=hair+skin+nails&parentPage=search My lips crack and bleed when I don't take them. As for sun protection, I put on Olay sun block, then foundation, year round. I've never been a sunbather...

    Show us your vintage home!

    I don't like this combination. First, the reds don't match. The flowers are orange-red; the stripes look purple-red. Second, the lines are at different diagonals. The valance looks like it has 45-degree lines; the curtains look like they have 60-degree lines. I think you will have a hard time...

    Fashion fads we love to hate

    I new fashion I don't get is a big scarf with a t-shirt. I understand a warm, bulky scarf with winter clothes...but a t-shirt? [huh]

    I think there's a thread around here called "Fashions we love to hate" or something like that.

    Fictional Character Crush

    I know that what's appealing in books and movies isn't always appealing in real life. But I don't get the Edward Cullen craze, either. Bad? He doesn't even drink human blood. Daring? Since he's practically indescructible, he never put himself in danger. Creepy and controlling? In spades.

    Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?

    Miss Manners once said that if you say something makes you feel old, it makes you sound old.

    Are you a gentleman?

    Neither am I. Kidding aside, a gentleman used to be a man who, among other things, didn't have to work for a living. Today, I usually hear the term in reference to someone who behaves himself around women.

    The Great Depression: A New Fad for Marketers

    I dislike comparisons to our current situation to the Depression. It's like comparing a hailstorm to a hurricane.

    Vintage Shorts

    I saw a nice shorts outfit today (at least, I thought the outfit looked good). On the bus, there was a courier wearing a gray three-button jacket, white dress shirt, knee-length khaki cargo shorts, black knee pads, black fingerless gloves, a modern back-pack with a chest strap, and brown tennis...

    Miss, Mrs. or Madam? The demise of Ms?

    I've been called "ma'am" and "Miss Miller" since I was 12. What can I say--I was born old.
