    Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds

    Let's keep this apolitical and concentrate on film criticism. This is a remake, so for a clue to the plot, check this out http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076584/ Sadly, Tarantino hasn't made an all around good film since "Jackie Brown," where he was showing some real maturity and depth in...

    Election Night Watch Party--What's your drink of choice?

    As an aside, Pabst has garnerd a lot of street cred by purporting to be a blue collar authentic and old brewing company, when in fact it is nothing more than a marketing company whose product is produced by Miller. That's clever marketing indeed.

    What are you wearing today??

    Thanks, this was a new thing for me, putting this together. I am sure you will find something. Keep an eye out on J Crew's sale stuff. They had some interesting waistcoats this fall.

    What are you wearing today??

    Those are interesting cufflinks, what's the scoop? Here's me on casual day at work. I salvaged the vest from that beloved brown suit of mine whose pants fell apart! The tie is a skinny Barbour hunting tie that I wear all of the time. The jacket was a purchase from the Lounge! (Thank you very...

    Can any of you relate to me?

    This is personal blog material and not really what we do here in a vintage-related forum. However, considering the nature of this post, I'll leave it up so people can correspond via PM where personal business is best transacted.

    Exchange Rate?

    1.24 is hardly up against the dollar. In fact, it's at a two year low. Buy away.

    Repros v. Originals

    Thank you, My Good Man. Well, I think immediately. I think we internalize and project, and to resist the temptation to be too esoteric, allow me to reduce it to this; you desire an item for the reasons of your attachments to it, and then you set out to acquire the correct piece. For...

    How old is too old?

    I have a dear friend who collects and sells vintage clothing and she has articles from the late 19th century that she is afraid to touch and other items, like an Edwardian dress and whale bone corset that she has worn. As Lizzie said, it depends on the robustness of the item. We are but stewards...

    Repros v. Originals

    I believe that each item you buy has a certain romance to it, or why else would we want it? Sometimes, it's earned, sometimes it's manufacured, and sometimes it's absolutely ridiculous. For example, I love the romance I perceive in a Barbour jacket. I first encountered them back in the 90s...

    Show off your vintage desktops!

    I am finding this thread more interesting for the shortcuts, applications, operating systems and whatnot I can see in the screengrabs rather than the actual photos, but that's just me.

    Housekeeping, or rather, Bartending! Anyway, this is a general discussion and it belongs here and will have more success here. Next round's on me.

    Housekeeping Since this is more of a broad spectrum thread, I've moved it here to capture more voices. :)

    My first C-Crown "home-made" "Maltese Falcon style" bash

    Man matched with hat, perfectly. Very well done. :eusa_clap One of the best styles I've seen.

    Article in the New York Times "The Fashion Report of 1920"

    I achieved a small piece of cognative coherence with that article, seeing some things I swear by mentioned: Randolph Engineering's Aviator sunglasses, purely perfect eyewear; Barbour, as a brand I salute their classics and mourn their seeming desire to follow in Burberry's footsteps to be more...

    New Bond Film - Quantum Of Solace

    Who knows? And precisely my point. This film has grown on me since I wrote my initial review. I have been won over by repeated viewings on cable. Though I sincerely hope that Mr. Craig speaks up this time around. The mumbling grew tiring. I do love the overall styling and art direction of...

    New Bond Film - Quantum Of Solace

    He played the nemesis in "Goldeneye;" the "OO" gone bad. Also, he was in "The Lord of the Rings" and the "bad guy" in "National Treasure."

    What pens are we carrying today?

    Baystate Blue hugh? I live in the Baystate! How do you like that Levenger pen? A few years back, they stopped selling other brands and let everything go on clearance. I bought several pens from them then. Today, I have my indestructible red Cross apogee with Mont Blanc blue and for the...
