    Electro-Swing or: How I Learned to Stop Complaining and Love Modernity

    I like this kind of electro-swing music. I can totally hear the swing influences mashed in with modern European electro music. I've loved Caravan Palace for quite some time now. And I'm sure you know very well the "sources" of the swing music, as do I ;) It's ok to like both...lol.

    The Yoga Pants trend

    Edward -- Joe says people wear shorts here more because it is way hotter. We can reach up to 110 degrees in the summer even in the Northeast. Joe told me in England summer is 90 degrees on a "hot" day and hardly anyone has an air conditioner. Joe says here in America air conditioners are...

    Better Than Beauty: A Guide To Charm

    I began reading the "Better That Beauty" book and, yes, it is adorable! I love how the author says to ignore all that crazy advice on how you "should" do your hair and makeup. Because if you do not like the hairdo and/or makeup you are wearing -- you will know this and not be charming! :) The...

    Better Than Beauty: A Guide To Charm

    Direct quote from the first page of the Bramcost book: "although few women are beautiful, or even pretty, through skillful makeup and hairstyling, any woman can be endowed with good looks." lol And you are reminded of how "not pretty" you are throughout the whole book. I'm not gonna lie -- I...

    Better Than Beauty: A Guide To Charm

    Oooh! Thanks for this! I just d/l'ed it for my Kindle! I love this kind of stuff. Another book I suggest is this one: ...from Bramcost. It was first published in 1948 and it goes over "correct" hair and makeup, but also covers fitness, the best dress cut for your shape, and basic...

    Holocaust Book + Noisy Nieghbors' Rap = Unease

    I don't think I'm superior to anybody just because I like the 1930s and dislike rap. To each his own (and this includes wanting to feel superior -- go for it if it makes you feel happy!) Just treat me with respect and I'll do the same :D Also, even though I love history and know quite a bit...

    Most depressing song you know?

    Young loungers

    I think we are almost ALL "younger folk" when it comes to our loves of vintage (pre-1950s). Unless there are some 70-100 year olds on here....which there very well may be! I was scared of old stuff when I was a kid, but eerily fascinated at the same time. Now I'm 36 and love all the stuff I...

    Most Depressing movies you've seen?

    The Big Parade (1925). Although it has a cheesy tacked-on happy ending, the whole rest of the film was depressing for the most part. I thought about that film for DAYS after I first watched it. Then I made my husband watch it. Years later he could not recall if it was silent or a talkie...

    Help dating a picture and clothes

    Yup, 37-38. The women's dresses give it away. The puff sleeve and "dolie"-looking collar was big around 1937-38. I know this from sewing my own and studying the heck out of photos of "regular" people.

    Are You a "Serious" Collector? The Categorization of Fedora Loungers.

    I LOVE small-town history! I mostly enjoy the Philly/South Jersey/Delaware small-town history because that is where I'm from and I identify with it, but I love OTHER small town histories, too. I enjoy the short home movies that pop up on youtube and historical website devoted to certain towns...

    Fingerwave drying time

    I sleep in the metal clips as well with no problems. They don't fall out and careful positioning of the pillow will make them not press against your head.
