    Vintage Homage in Today's Casual Office

    Sounds good to me. I don't think I'd wear spats or spectators, though; simple oxfords of loafers would probably work better.

    The Uncanny Resemblance

    I saw someone who looked so much like my mother that it startled me. It was late one night after I'd come home from a Halloween dance I'd dressed up as Carmen Miranda for. I looked in the mirror, and there she was!

    Moonlight

    He could use a fedora, too. It has to be tough being a vampire in sunny L.A.

    Moonlight

    Does anybody else watch Moonlight? (Vintage connection: the main character, Nick St. John, grew up in the 30s and 40s, was in the Battle of the Bulge, and was turned into a vampire by his bride in 1952.) I happened to be home for a couple of Friday nights and enjoyed this show. Nick St. John...

    A few suggestions: As the follower, you should always be waiting, not anticipating. With a great lead, especially, you never know what awesome move he's going to pull out. Once you learn how to follow fairly well, you can do moves you never learned in class. You're right about it being...

    The Workplace...A Modern Tragedy?

    Hitchcock et al. had Higher Standards Their behavior is a reflection on them, not on you. I was just talking to my aunt in California last night, and she told me this story related to her by a Miss Williams, who spent her entire career in domestic service for Alfred Hitchcock. Hitchcock...

    The Workplace...A Modern Tragedy?

    Great post, Feraud. I think people tend to focus on lousy bosses, of which there are many, but if you're not getting along with your boss, you must consider the possibility that you aren't a stellar employee. It never hurts to check yourself. :) Do you show up on time and get straight to...

    2008 Vanity Fair "Hollywood" Issue.

    Who wears gloves with a swimsuit? And whose shoe is that at the bottom right? In general, I like it, though.

    Improving your Looks for Free

    Well, try to lean gracefully if you'll fall over otherwise--backward or to one side. Not as you see people leaning on a shopping cart.

    I Was Howling By The End Of This....

    Whoever wrote #8 is even cheaper than I am...so cheap he'll hold onto a dollar tighter than one of those boxes at a parking lot when you try to wad too many dollars in the slot at one time. :rolleyes:

    Nobody Can Insult Someone Like....

    Hawkeye once told Frank Burns, "They ought to tear you down and put up a human being."

    Improving your Looks for Free

    But a fake smile is awful. Hence, my suggestion to just think about something that makes you happy.

    Improving your Looks for Free

    Get a good night's sleep. Stand up straight. Sit up straight. Don't lean against anything. Think of something that makes you happy. Glide, don't clomp. Don't squint--wear contacts or glasses if you need them. Leave your hands at your side (or in your lap) and don't fidget. There are...

    For that price, it should defrost, self clean, bring spoiled food back to life and make my meals.

    Walking Into The Past...

    The thing is, even among sensible people with no agenda, gossip tends to get more shocking and less factual with each telling. Of course, anything is possible, but a more mundane explanation usually turns out to be at the bottom of things. I bet Evelyn would like a letter and a Valentine's...

    Interesting article on the state of the modern Romantic Comedy

    The only exceptions I can think of from recent years are Return to Me and My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Otherwise, yeah, blech.

    Walking Into The Past...

    Are you in contact with this lady? Or are you hearing this second or third hand? If you think she's been defrauded and stolen from and being forced into an early grave, I suggest again that you call the attorney general. What you're suggesting her family did is a serious crime. Otherwise, I...
