    How tall are you, Ladies?

    I'm 5'8 1/2. Almost all the women in my family were tall for their generation. Two of my G-Grandmothers were about 6 feet tall. The others were just a few inches taller than the average of their day. I wish I was a little shorter. I know shorter people have a hard time with clothes, but a...

    Ideal bodies for the eras

    Graverobbergirl! Depending on where you live in Canada, you may have an Addition-Elle in your area (hopefully with a lingerie section). I buy all my bras there and I am a 42G. So your size is out there! They measure you and everything. If you are anywhere near Toronto, there are places...

    Show us your vintage home!

    Colour!! Wow, Atomic Glee! What fab-u-lous colours! I love the texture of the walls (I see in the hall) is that stipple? I don't know the name for it, but it looks great! ^_^bluebird

    Pushing Daisies

    I love this show!! I wish I had started watching it when it started. I am slowly working the hubby into watching this show (I have caught him laughing...aha!). He is always teasing about the colour, but I love it because it reminds me of the old MGM musicals and technicolor process. It is a...

    Ever yearn for a vintage name?

    I was thinking along the lines of "Jennifer" the spelling as being a non-vintage name. I wish my parents had thought of Guinevere. Or the Welsh Gwenhfar. A little different, but perhaps a little too different for the 60's/70's/80's. Would fit in perfectly now-a-days! lol

    40's or 40's inspired christmas music?

    My dad remembers having the Gene Autry record for Rudolf the Red nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman. I bought him the cassette years ago, I think my stepmother "lost" it somewhere (perhaps I can find it on CD for him--mwahahahahahahahhaha! Poor thing will probably have to hide it in his car.)...

    Dinner/Supper My Great-gram used to call Lunch "Dinner" as well. Gramma was from England, and it seems that the south has a lot of the English manners/isms. (Or is it just me?) I have also heard that it depends on the time of day. Dinner being an earlier meal. Tea at 3, Dinner at 5, and...

    Where did your user name come from??

    "Bluebird of Happiness" My Great-gram was a firm believer in bluebirds. Gram had embroidered pillowcases that she gave me with bluebirds on them and when she passed I received a little bluebird figurine. So now I make sure that there is a bluebird in my house, to make double sure of happiness...

    Ever yearn for a vintage name?

    "Jennifer" doesn't sound vintage the only time I've heard it used prior to 60's was Jennifer Jones. Otherwise, Jenny was used. No thanks. I feel like I should be two with pigtails. Unfortunately, Jennifer was so popular in the late 60's and early 70's that in my last year of high school I went...

    Favorite Sinatra Tune/Film - Remembering Sinatra 10 Years After His Passing

    Young at Heart I don't know how old I was when I first saw this, but I was already a Sinatra and Doris Day fan. So, how great is it when they are both in the same movie! It was so sweet and tragic and funny. When I saw it recently I was startled to see Alan Hale, Jr.! (Pre-Gilligan) Has...

    Need Dean Martin recommendation!

    I agree with Flat-top. Winter Romance is one of my fave Dino albums, kinda Christmassy but worth it. I;ll have to go digging out my grams old albums that I inherited, she had lots of Dino (and Frank and Nat and...)lol

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    "Top Hat" was on twice this week (don't know why, but who am I to complain?) Hubby wasn't too impressed with my singing along and bouncing on the couch (ya know...dancing...sort of...). This is one of my fave of Fred and Gingers. Was humming "puttin' on my top hat, tying up my white tie...

    New Ladies and Gents Step Forward

    Hello! I tried posting here a few days ago, but for some reason it booted me out! So here I am again, crossing my fingers this works. :eusa_doh: I have been a fan of anything vintage as far back as I can remember. (Drove dear mum mad with my clutter!) Mum did introduce me to old books and...

    What Songs Have Your Name in Them?

    My dad named me Jennifer after Donovan's "Jennifer Juniper". I can't think of any other song with Jennifer in it. There are a couple with Jenny in it tho, can't remember the names of the songs at this time.[huh] ^_^bluebird

    1940s leisurewear

    One of my fave places to go to figure out "what was the average Jane wearing", is the www.wishbookweb.com site. (I'm not sure how to get this to go directly there, sorry! I'll do research.) It has wishbooks starting from 1940 (not all, mind). Of course, its all winter stuff but it gives a good...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    The last "old" movie I watched was "Laura". I think it's the third time I've seen it, and as tired as I was at midnight I stayed up till it was finished. Such an amazing film. Clifton Webb is fabulous as an irritating and pompous columnist. But the scene stealer for me is the apartment (sad, I...

    Classic leading man or dame test

    I am so excited that I got Myrna Loy! Very classy lady and funny too. Always seemed to be having a lot of fun in the Thin Man movies. And to be matched with Cary Grant and William Powell, can it get any better than that? Swoon!!
