    Gilda

    I like this film. It's about two people who can't get along, but can't get over each other, either. As for Hayworth's character being an oddball, well, only fools fall in love, right?

    The loss of occasion

    Hmm. I ought to do something for my best guy friend's birthday next month. That could work.

    The loss of occasion

    Joie, Here is a link on learning to dance that might interest you. Another on dance etiquette. A link to the Mercury Cafe. And a link to the Denver Turnverein. I've also sent you a PM with info specific to the Denver swing dance scene. Don't feel like you have to memorize all of...

    The loss of occasion

    My favorite minor occasion is a pot luck with my best friend. We have dinner and then watch a movie or go to a dance. Dances don't feel like occasions to me because I go so often--it's more like home away from home.

    The loss of occasion

    Several years ago, my then-boyfriend gave a Thanksgiving dinner and nobody showed up. I once had a Halloween party and two people showed up. Part of the problem is that some people just can't say no, as in, "I'm sorry, but I have plans. Let's get together another time." As for dress, maybe...

    The loss of occasion

    Maybe somebody or some group of people can bring about change, but whatever levers need to pulled are out of my reach. I do try to be a good guest, though: I RSVP, dress for the occasion, say hello, thank you and goodbye to the hostess, make conversation with others, and I go easy on the...

    The loss of occasion

    Miss Neecerie, I agree with you in principle, but I stopped entertaining years ago because of all the things the Mike in Seattle mentioned. Guests don't bother answering invitations, they say yes and then don't bother to call or show up, they eat and run, they cancel at the last minute...for...

    How to Look Good in Photos

    Somebody really went to town with the lip and eyebrow pencils.

    The loss of occasion

    I'm trying to remember my last "occasion." I haven't been to a wedding in about 15 years, Xmas and Thanksgiving are usually days at my parents' house, and I no longer feel a desire to dress up for Halloween.

    Streamlined

    I like streamlined cars and airplanes, of course, but I prefer my furniture and appliances to look like they wouldn't move in a hurricane. :)

    Garden Party, are heels ok?

    Kerry, I think the black shoes would not only be more practical walking on a lawn, but they would look better with your black dress. If the lawn is wet, it might mess up your suede shoes. I would add a colorful accent (scarf, big flower pin, sash) and a hat with a brim to go with the season.

    Let's See Your Watches! The Vintage Watch Thread.

    I normally like blue and brown together, but as Martini said, the face and band don't look good together. And I'm not a fan of brown and black combos. Can you get the blue one with a black band?

    What I am going to do with my tax refund.

    I painted my house a few years ago and it turned out very well: green body, lighter green on the dormer and gables, light gray trim and dark gray doors. The virtual paint tool at BenjaminMoore.com really helped me see what colors would look good, and it kept me from making some big mistakes...

    How to Look Good in Photos

    Women with a very narrow build don't tend to look good at a 45 degree angle. It makes their body look even smaller and their head look larger. A little like a l0lly-pop.

    Fear of the feminine

    A couple of characters from the TV show Saturday Night Live. (It's a show where they do live comedy skits.) Chris and Pat were so androgenous that their coworkers couldn't tell their sex. I, myself, am really not a girly-girl, but even I look and feel so much better when I sport a more...

    How to Look Good in Photos

    Today's Rocky Mountain News carried an article on looking good in photos. Here's the link, an another on the same subject: http://www.rockymountainnews.com/drmn/spotlight_columnists/article/0,2777,DRMN_23962_5491998,00.html...

    Vintage styles for short hair

    Thora, my hairstylist tells me that haircuts aren't vintage or modern, just hairstyles. I was thinking you should try a salon that caters to older ladies and then I read it in your post. My stylist has her own salon, and she's really good. If she weren't, she'd likely go out of business.

    The BEST shoe color !

    Oxblood and purple How well would oxblood shoes go with a purple blouse? I have an outfit of dark green pants, a gray jacket and a purple blouse and black sash. Black shoes would go with this, but I don't have any.

    Living like a king

    It would be nice to have one meal like that (half of it taken home for leftovers). But I'd hate to eat the whole thing in one sitting, let alone eat like that for a week. Why? First, I hate that lethargic, bloated feeling I get after I overeat. Second, my clothes wouldn't fit. The third...

    Women without hats

    Those are beautiful! If she doesn't like them, I'd be happy to take them off her hands. ;)
