    Set it up as a vintage-only thread and go for it. :)

    Mystery Converse shoes???

    John Varvatos makes a line for converse as well. They may have perhaps been his. [huh]

    Hats In The Car/A Newbie Question

    Amazingly enough, my hat fits comfortably in my Mini Cooper, and I am 6'2"! I was surprised, pleasantly! :)

    Inaugural wears 2009

    The President's tie did not work for me. It should have been black. White was just... odd, like a short cut to formality somehow, but without the tails. It was jarring, but not awful. He is tall and confident enough to pull it off, but just barely. It may have been an effort to coordinate...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    It's seen as pretentious and almost an article of costume, as if one is playing the part of a businessman, at least with the younger generation. I disagree entirely with these sentiments, but when I carried one, I heard negative comments all of the time. It seems the rip-stop nylon messenger bag...

    (Guys) What's in your wallet...I mean pockets

    With all the stuff in everyone's pockets, I want to merge this with the "Man Purse" thread! ;) lol Personally, I try to keep nothing in my pants pockets because I just don't like the feeling of having objects there. This is why I almost always wear some sort of jacket. So, for me, it's...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    It may all go down to those of us who must carry things and those of us who do not. Whichever file I am working on, must be with me at all times during the work day. Also, I always have a journal and a hardback with me, because I am both an avid journal keeper and reader. If I were to put all of...

    Winter Weather - First Snow-

    I am amazed at how many people are still in shorts or wear hoodies instead of jackets.

    Winter Weather - First Snow-

    It was six degrees this morning in Sweet, Sweet Boston. I wore my orange Moncler Himalaya jacket for which I earned the nickname from Spiely, "Le Grand Orange!" with all apologies to Mario Batalli. I was toasty. I kind of like this weather. [huh]

    Show Us Your Handwriting - Vintage Penmanship!

    A nib is wider than it is thick on any pen and although you will not get the variation of a flexible nib, you will still get some fat to thin lines, if you keep the nib in a constant position.

    "Good" Movie

    You're repeating yourself, My Friend! ;) So I moved it over here.

    The Prisoner

    Wow, this is devastating to me, in a distanced and impersonal way since I didn't actually know the man, but what a loss! What an icon of dignity and sophistication. Great actor, great work, great voice, he will be missed.

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    Paddy, My Dear Paddy, the object does not make the man; the man makes the object. ;) I carry a bag. It holds all my essentials, closing packages, files, all the tools of capitalism. I've never once been questioned on it, nor would I expect to; nearly everyone else in my profession carries one...

    The Elephant in the Room - Man Purse

    I carry a Louis Vuitton Spencer bag in Damier. It keeps me organized, stylish, and it's garanteed for life.

    Violinist in the Metro

    I can personally attest to a crowd of people who surrounded a group of amateur musicians in Paris. In fact, I have video! Sadly, I cannot access YouTube from work, but it's out there, and maybe I'll post it later. In any case, there is a group of musicians with quite the crowd in the...

    Shorpy etc.

    Sorry, since this neither pertains to the Lounge or anything vintage related, I've closed it, but I'll leave it up in case anyone would like to answer the questions through PM. Thanks for your understanding.

    Facebook anybody?

    I agree with this sentiment entirely.:eusa_clap Facebook for me is reserved for people I've actually met and consider to be friends. On MySpace, I'll add pretty much anyone, but Facebook is much more personal and much more tied into my actual social life. :)

    It was. Virtually, the entire store was on sale. Good luck!
