This is what I'm wearing today!...Or rather...tomorrow. It's the Melbourne Pen Show, and I'm gonna be dressing up period for my vintage desktop table-exhibit at the Show.

What reaction do you get?
I get lots of compliments. Ranging from "Nice hat, man!" to "It's nice to see someone make the effort to dress up these days" (or words to that effect). I did ONCE get a bad comment, but it was of such a nature that it would not be suitable to bear repeating here. Other than that, never.- Shangas

Removing Mystery Stain from White Shirt. Any suggestions?
The shirt went through the washer, then it was simply hung-dry. I never use a tumble-dryer or anything. I only noticed it when I was ironing it. I hope this doesn't damage the chances for removing it. I simply don't know HOW it got there. I can't even begin to guess what it is. A lot of online...- Shangas

Removing Mystery Stain from White Shirt. Any suggestions?
Hey guys, Perhaps someone can advise me here. While in Europe on holiday a few months back, I took the opportunity to buy a number of new shirts. Barrel-cuff, french-cuff etc etc... Last night, I was ironing one of my white shirts, when I noticed a small, light, yellowish stain on...- Shangas

Show us your photography
I was sitting at my desk, feeling bored...and then I turned around and saw something that I figured would make a nice photograph. It looked like it had a nice, noir-ish feel to it. Kinda dark and mysterious... Straight version: Blurry version: My new camera is great, but you need the...- Shangas

Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?
A barbershop opened up down the street from my house. Every day I walk past, they hang the red and white pole out the front, and take it down every evening at closing-time.- Shangas

Here's the new cap I bought: It's teensy bit frayed at the back edge, but it's hardly noticeable. It's an 8-panel newsboy cap. -

WEIRD stuff from the golden era
Asbestos eh? Maybe it was to cool down the fires of love... Some years back, my mother purchased a Chop for me, as a Christmas present. For those who don't know what that is, it's a Chinese seal-stamp, carved of stone, with your name in it. Traditionally, they come with a small bowl of red...- Shangas

WEIRD stuff from the golden era
I know that mercury was used for many things back in the old days. Hat-making, thermometers, a treatment for syphilis... But how the hell does it work as an antiseptic!?- Shangas

WEIRD stuff from the golden era
I might add that the history documentary "Blitz Street", by Tony Robinson, confirmed that hiding under a staircase was a perfectly legitimate way to escape a bomb-blast during the Second World War. The strength required to build the staircase was capable of withstanding the shock of the...- Shangas

Costume Suggestions Desired. Help me look the part!
Taking inspiration from Daniel Radcliffe, maybe I could pull off something like what was in the Woman in Black?: I know his suit is really dark grey, but I have a black pair of trousers, waistcoat and tie. Hell, I could even bring my black trenchcoat along. But that might be a bit too warm...- Shangas

So a lady called me a Pimp today....
Alternatively, you could have asked her why her latest payment was late. That should keep her quiet.
