    Renting your vintage to moviemakers?

    Even if you did everything carefully, if some of your things are ruined, it could make it very uncomfortable living with your housemate. I can see it ending up that she moves out and you'd have to pay all the rent and utilities until you found another roommate. So much for the extra cash! My...

    What has happened to society?

    Re: respecting the young It's important to respect young people in dance class. That teenager with the braces might be your teacher.

    So what is the Fedora Lounge all about?

    I like the high standards of the FL. If we were living in a very decorous age, I might agree with KittyT that we might benefit from loosening up. Even I tell dirty jokes and listen to blue songs. But we live in a crass age with little subtlety. If we wanted to loosen up, we could turn on the TV...

    The Art of Threading & Posting: A Retro-spective

    Diamondback, you need charm lessons like Dave Thomas needed an MBA. :)

    So what is the Fedora Lounge all about?

    Keep in mind that some forums don't retain old threads. If that's what you're used to, you probably won't bother to look. No matter how many rules you make, it won't keep a few people from being obnoxious. I suspect that anyone inclined to start a lot of unnecessary new threads would also...

    So what is the Fedora Lounge all about?

    Maybe a sticky on "Great beauty threads of all time" in the Powder Room would help avoid the same-old, same-old questions.

    Help!

    Yeah, what did you play? Was it a completely vintage wedding, or just the music?

    Storage and care...

    I made drawer dividers, too (although not as attractive--I just cut up a sturdy carboard box). It works great. I'll have to try the earring ribbon idea.

    So what is the Fedora Lounge all about?

    If I remember correctly, the 15-posts-before-you-can-PM rule was intended to stop trolls from sending inflammatory messages to people. At this time, I wouldn't support further rules on newbies. Has their behavior caused that many problems lately?

    Specific Issue Arising from Previous Thread

    Re: Candied Violets' posts: This is called being charming. Charm is to manner as a good suit or dress is to clothing. I wonder if cultivating a pleasant manner helps so many Japanese live together in such a small area.

    They just don't compare

    Agreed--the pants are just the right length and the break is, to my eyes, perfect.

    Storage and care...

    All great ideas. All I can add is that I invested in a closet organizer that has two levels to hang clothes on.

    Specific Issue Arising from Previous Thread

    If you are correcting an important point, and do so with tact, I don't see anything wrong. The spirit should be to raise the level of knowledge, not to show off. Just be sure you know what you are talking about. To correct unimportant points is unnecessary and ham-handed. Someone I know...

    Hollywood Biography recommendations

    There was a bio of Jimmy Stewart released a few years ago. I recommend it.

    Ray

    My neighbors (who are blind) thought they made too much of the fact that Ray was blind.

    Facial waxing, please help with pricing

    I paid around $12 for an eyebrow wax and plucking last summer.

    Creed of the more mature lady....

    A few years ago, when I was turning 36 or 37, I went to a more elegant look. I really didn't want to turn into that middle-aged woman who was trying hard to look 25. With that said, I think long hair and vivid colors can look great on the less-young. It's much better than the menopausal helmet...

    What has happened to society?

    What happened? The attitude of "me, me, me," which as Bernie Brillstein points out, is "dull, dull, dull." There are many other factors, of course, but to my mind, that is the main one. Before we get carried away, let's remember that some things are much better nowadays. Handicapped people...

    Let's Talk About The Fedora Lounge

    If I understand right, it sounds like they are just doing a little more pruning than before, not digging up the whole tree and planting a new one. And that here, as everywhere else in the world, people who've built up some credibility are cut a little more slack.

    Help!

    Two last-minute suggestions: "Blue Skies." A couple of my favorite versions are by Benny Goodman and Ella Fitzgerald. "Moten Swing." I think the '58 version by Count Basie is the best. No lyrics, but as classy as it gets.
