Great Film Scenes
oooh, yeah... Rear Window! I'll vote for the scene in Giant when James Dean makes tea for Elizabeth Taylor. I just love it for its simplicity and insight into Jet. And, of course, Steve McQueen's motorcycle scene in The Great Escape. As many times as I've seen it, I know what happens in...- Wire9Vintage

Old TV Show episodes you think everyone should watch
I'm a sucker for old sitcoms... I *know* they are a dreamworld and quite narrow-minded, but I find them to be a comforting one when things are feeling complicated. My all-time favorite is Father Knows Best. I love Robert Young, and love the children, and the wife is strong. Compared to Donna...- Wire9Vintage

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
Yes, with Anna presumably exiting soon, that seems to be the last (personal) tie holding Don down aside from his children. Or will it open a whole can o' worms as he straddles being Dick and Don both in dealing with her death? This will get very interesting indeed... And will "drunk Lane" be...- Wire9Vintage

Ladies prefer...
Confidence and a quiet but strong way about a man does it every time for me. That's hard to pin down, but I think gals know it when they see it. For me, looks are secondary to that. A man can be handsome and a man can be attractive. Those two things often don't have to go together...- Wire9Vintage

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
So, Tomasso, adjusted for inflation... And did Lane *tip* Don? "Here's $30." So what will their relationship be now? Lane and Don, bachelor duo? Yikes! Have to say I love that Jared Harris is getting more air time (although some of that was just weird... the steak?? lol ) I loved him so in...- Wire9Vintage

Settling in?
Miss N, may I point you to your own tag line? That's pretty good advice for you right there :) I grew up moving, so I can say this from experience: It just takes time. Find some friends, maybe even some other "out of sorts" types and be there for each other. When I was the new kid in school...- Wire9Vintage

Old Film Cameras - With Film Inside!
I love film, too, and have always had a fascination with "real" cameras. I shudder to think of a time in the future when there will be no more photos of people... A lost digital camera will probably be so obsolete that the images can't be recovered. And a scratched CD or damaged drive means no...- Wire9Vintage

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
The most fascinating comment from last night's episode was after his "girl" was called to bring him his keys, as the guy is closing Don's office door he says, "He's pathetic." In previous seasons, no one would have seen Don as pathetic. Especially some young whipper snapper (ie Pete, obviously...- Wire9Vintage

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Thanks Lareine! I looked and looked at that thing and couldn't figure it out quite. I've only ever seen and used the button holer feet, which are small and rather simple contraptions. My machine's button holer foot works OK with practice (every time I need to do button holes, I need to refresh...- Wire9Vintage

"Mad Men" on AMC (US) - (Spoilers Within)
This show is so full of subtlety! At first I thought it was a bit underwhelming... but the more I think on it, it was yet another fascinating study. Yes, Don is losing control, which of course makes me wonder about Dick Whitman. Will he surface again? Or will Don reinvent himself all over again...- Wire9Vintage

Sewing Lessons & FAQ
Button holer At my local thrift store the other day, I spotted a Singer Button Holer complete with case and manual for $!5. Anyone use one of these? Are they worth it? My machine's button holer is OK... just wondering if this little gadget might make life easier. I probably dates to the late...- Wire9Vintage

Vintage Pattern WANTED list
Does anyone have or has anyone ever seen a Life Magazine dress pattern from 1943? It was designed by Hattie Carnegie and was a mail order pattern from the magazine (selling for 15 cents). An article in the April 12, 1943 Life notes that the actual dress could be purchased from Hattie Carnegie's...- Wire9Vintage

Color
It is strangely fascinating to see things in color from "back then." Have you seen these (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/hampshire/8029673.stm ) from the Edwardian Era? Just mesmerizing.- Wire9Vintage
