    Is chivalry dead?

    I agree. What a disgrace. I don't care if you are male, or female. If you are a healthy, capable individual, you give up your seat up. I really hope manners aren't dying, but parents have become lax with their children and then these children grow into adults who do not understand what common...

    Vintage Bathing Suits

    bathing suits So, I'm pretty new to dressing vintage, so I was thinking with the upcoming summer, what do people do for bathing suits? If you got a swimdresswould you get them wet? I mean I wouldn't dive into a pool with it on, but walking the beach, or something? Would it be better to get a...

    vintage eyebrow help

    If you don't want to pluck your brows, you can flatten your eyebrows down by using a few layers of soap (or a glue stick), apply concealer/foundation and then redraw your eyebrows back on after you've blended everything out. You can find tutorials on how to do it on YouTube. I'm really bad at...

    Titanic Centennial

    What bothers me is the ignorance of today's youth. I can see it with many people I know. Unless it runs on batteries and can somehow distract them for hours, they don't care about it. Of course not everyone is like this, but even among my history major/minor friends, it isn't a big deal because...

    Questions and Answers -- General Attire

    I understand the navy and gray, and maybe if the socks in question had a pattern like you're describing it wouldn't strike me as so odd. Then again, I'm just being judgmental because he's my history professor. Hopefully the more I stare at them, the more I'll be able to ignore them. Thanks for...

    What Are You Reading

    Eventually I'm going to have to have to scroll through all 466 pages of posts eventually to catch some good books, but I'm currently reading The Boy in the Striped Pajamas (which has to be one of the strangest words in the English language) by John Boyne. I've seen the movie, so I'm reading the...

    Titanic!

    It's also on iTV. I've liked the series so far, though it's understandable why some people don't exactly like the plot is structured. I don't really want to discuss it because it seems like not many people have watched it, but I think it's worth a view, you just have to adjust to it. As a...

    Questions and Answers -- General Attire

    Okay, I don't feel so completely anal retentive. It seems smart to match your socks to your pants because I'm not sure there's a reason to draw attention to your ankles. I would agree with the Navy suit with brown, but I guess I'll just have to accept that this man likes his blue socks. :)

    Titanic Centennial

    I've been reading up about the Titanic as a small way to remember what happened. It's hard to describe that feeling you get while watching the documentaries, (that animation was cool, but really unsettling) or reading about it, the questions that run through your head, like what would you have...

    Questions and Answers -- General Attire

    I have a question for everyone. When is it alright to wear navy blue socks? I'd assume with a blue suit, but I'm no expert. I do however know a man who at least in his professional life dresses pretty well, the typical dress shirt, khaki pants and brown shoes,but he always wears navy blue...

    Titanic Centennial

    Oh good grief. I think I've got a few nickles somewhere... wait, that might be lint. A brilliant collection at an extraordinary price. Whoever can afford and insure that would have a great piece.

    The Yoga Pants trend

    I agree with Son of Atropos, but what sort of irks me is when girls wear leggings. Yoga pants, okay they're pants (sort of), but leggings are not and should not really be worn as such if you want to come off as a respectable, professional individual.

    Young loungers

    We all seem to have similar stories. It's really interesting to see how people from all different backgrounds have the same ideas. Some of you mentioned friends thinking you're a bit odd, which happens in my case as well. Do you have similar problems with your significant other? Are they open...

    The Younger Folk What makes the younger generation go vintagei? How did you find it? What do your friends think? If you're a part of the older crowd (and I'm not putting any age limit on that) when did you realize that it was your style of choice and why? I'm 21and I feel like I was born...

    The DINER.

    I grew up in New Jersey too (I'm in maryland for school) and there are so many diners like you said.. It's really strange going to diners in other states because they're not quite the same. I don't know exactly what it is about them, but diners in say Maine are just... Not like NJ

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcomes. I'm glad that I've found a home. As for Victorian fashion I think it's beautiful. I'm not sure I could get away with a bustle at college though I might not fit in the desk.

    Vintage Lifestyle VS Re-Enacting VS Cosplay

    I'm completely new to the idea of dressing vintage, so my wardrobe is quite lacking. What drew me here is similar to what others have been saying as well. It's the love for the culture and the period. It's just who I am, what I find aesthetically appealing and what brings that happy giddy...
