    Single Women

    Not exactly tailored to the single life, but I've had some good results from some of the recipes from this blog I found a while ago. They're not really in great quantity. Hope it's of some use: https://the1940sexperiment.com/100-wartime-recipes/

    Any Do's & Don'ts in military clothing?

    True, and a very good point. If you're not looking for a military impression, then for sure, there are some good approximations available, sometimes even off-the-rack, like Ralph Lauren khaki's, etc

    Any Do's & Don'ts in military clothing?

    Sources this side of the pond have also mostly dried up. I still dabble for local productions, etc, but the vast majority of stores I used to work with have either closed, or are out of anything of a useable size other than the occasional patch or two. Of course, there are the repro companies...

    Nazi Plane Tailfin

    3116.5 means it is an aluminium alloy (Al-Cu-Mg) produced in sheets up to 3mm thickness - for the aircraft industry. ENZ is the code of the producer - Enzesfelder Metallwerk A.G., Werk Enzesfeld/N.D - the mark isn't quite right.....the ENZ stamp should be more diamond shaped and dead center...

    Best way to do finger waves for 20's couture look?

    Anyone have thoughts? I've seen plenty of modern techniques, but the curls look forced and not as loose/natural as the actual 20's look. I'm trying to figure out my hair for Jazz Age Lawn Party coming in August, and am leaning towards the finger wave look :)

    Show us your radios!

    Pro tip: Buy a cheap "RF signal generator" from one of those auction sites, something tube, like an Eico, for example. Make a wire for your iPod or music source, plug it in to the signal generator, set the dial to an empty frequency on your radio in another room, and tune your radio in :) Works...

    Best beauty decision you've made?

    I have close to porcelain skin due to staying out of the sun and using sunblock my entire life because I burned so easily. Started with my parents and nanny, and I kept up with it as an adult. I'm curious how long you've been doing Atkins and how it's working for you?

    Men in the PR -- Poll (WOMEN ONLY)

    It's a tough question…….I know it has always been informally for women, but if some of the guys ain't behavin', then rather than spend the time policing the forum and overloading the already hard working bartenders with oversexed menfolk I have to go against how my gut feels about equality and...
