What Was The Last Movie You Watched?
"His Girl Friday" with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell. The dialog in this movie, especially the interactions between Hildy and Walter, is simply delightful. Movies today just don't do dialog anymore. It's all seemingly in the action. I miss the wittiness of 30's and 40's cinema.- MissMittens

Rank and Patches on Military Jackets - Might I Offend a Veteran?

Now I just use a color to...- MissMittens

Fixing a Vintage Lipstick Tube?
What I'd suggest is pouring some olive oil in the tube and leaving it sit. It's most likely seized up from hardened wax. The lipstick inside the tube right now won't be useable anyway, but getting the tube working again will help you get the old lipstick out and there are many ways to place a...- MissMittens

Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds
Well, I'm on the other coast, but I've heard good things about someone called Frank out there in union square that does restorations and repairs. I just don't remember the name of the place, sorry. Shouldn't be too hard to find if you know the area I guess. Sorry I couldn't be more help.- MissMittens

How do you feel about(Vintage) fur?
I like the aesthetic of vintage fur, but prefer fake fur because it doesn't shed and you don't need to care for it in the same way as you do a real vintage fur. While not necessarily matching my exact aesthetic because of the time period, I'm a big fan of orlon fiber- MissMittens
